Something like twenty years ago I watched a Hans Rosling video demonstrating that population decline was not only possible but also inevitable, I've been excited ever since.

Almost every thing about the existing systems of economic and social governance hates the idea.

It's gonna be a rough decline but if we are anything but our worst selves it's going to make a way better world for people to live in.

Wanna make a cocktail party observation that pisses off everyone? Start with

"The United States stands to benefit from changing global demographics and population decline more than any other nation due to our liberal immigration policy."
