If every woman gives birth to less than ~2.1 children, we're shrinking. Is having <= 2 children painful and ugly?

- wwright 6y agoHumans live for decades. Catastrophic climate change is less than a generation away. It would take hundreds of years for the population to shrink enough to stop it.

Natural self-regulation means hitting resource limits, followed by sudden and drastic mass dying off, through wars and starvation.
