    I mean, population decline sounds like a good thing to me, although I know it’d probably mean huge financial trauma and all kinds of tough problems.

    Also depending on how/why it happened.

    But seems like a good long-term way to attack a bunch of our resource/pollution/sustainability/mass extinction issues - having fewer kids and just…fewer of us. I mean, it can’t grow forever, not sure it’d be better to deal with it at 20 or 50 billion than 8 billion.
