- anm89 5y agoUs population is expected to grow through most of this century.
- xupybd 5y agoYes but the rate of growth is much lower and the trend is down.
- c0nducktr 5y agoThe same economic systems have lead, and continue to lead us towards the death our environment. Why keep those systems? We need to improve on those systems, if not reject them entirely.
- xupybd 5y agoOh yeah I'm talking about improving. Minor tweaks not uprooting the entire thing. I'm also talking about doing so as a reaction to declining population not preemptively. We don't know exactly what the future will look like best to address the needs when they arise. But the change in population growth is going to have a major impact on our world economic system. I'm a big fan of free markets and think our current iteration is one of the best ever, despite it's problems.
