literally everyone is talking about this
Migration doesn't only delay the problem but it transforms a nation and mangles it's identity.
It's not sad at all. We don't need to be endlessly expanding, cramming as many human beings as possible into every city until the entire globe is a giant shopping mall.
"Child free" movement terrifies the rich 1%. - Less poor, desperate, exploitable labor - Less cannon fodder for never ending wars.
Why does a lower population lead to economic collapse? More resources are available at lower cost, you can live in a bigger house, burn more oil etc.
The mistake people make is assuming that the solutions for this have to do with women and fertility. The solutions to these problems are automation and economic incentive.
Lets remember that Malthus made all that BS to blame the situation on the poor and cut the aid that the goverment should provide. So saying anything related to malthus is a BIIIIG red flag.
Africa’s birth rate is so high the African population is going to double. My home town is so crowded I could scream. My local woods have been hacked down to build a new estate, and now the fields in the centre of the village are going to be covered in disgusting rabbit hutch houses. In 1900 the world’s population was a billion. Today it’s eight billion.
Fantastic video for a small channel, you earned my sub.
The Gen Z problem is tragic. My friend who has just graduated with Honours and got a job in her field, and currently pays low rent, if she finally wants to buy a house and have a family, well houses are about $1 million now in Australia, and going up faster than everyone's pay.
Yeah its kind of a "no shit" when life becomes too expensive to have more than 1 kid, let alone 5 or have kids at all, the birthrates fall.
I don’t think the collapse is a “bad” thing. My wife has 2 kids so in a way we did our part. But honestly, I think once the population really collapses, it will stabilise at around 1.5 - 2b people. A guess. But I assume once the world empties out, people will have more kids (or enough kids to keep the population at the same place) as things are cheaper and there is more space for everything.
Its not a problem, its just capitalism eating itself. Why would they think anyone who wants children can actually afford them when most jobs don’t pay enough to survive anymore.
When climate change changes weather patterns to the point that crops are devastated, civilization will collapse. What will that do to population?
I believe the greatest threat to global temperature rise is the rise in human population and increased living standards. With fewer people there is less need for oil, housing, food production, transportation, and finite natural resources. Fewer people = less air pollution, less land taken from nature, increased biodiversity, and the list goes on.
Bro, AI? Nothing what you say matters. 22th Century? Huh. The world will not even be recognizable to us.
Maybe more people would have kids if they could afford them.
Not one in depth mention of resource scarcity or the fact that hundreds of millions of people are below the poverty line. Having children in a safe and prosperous environment is what is needed.
Great video from a tiny channel. Keep it up and you will become very big!
