The elephant-in-the-room is this: religion aka super-virulent-neuro-memes generally promote having many children. How will the world reduce human growth on that basis.
- rtkwe 4y agoReligiosity down in most of the developed world even the US is falling pretty fast after holding out for a long time.
- Chris2048 4y agoI'm wary of this kind of reasoning. You could say the same about communism/central-control and totalitarianism but China is still doing fine as a superpower without having to become more open or more democratic. Religiosity is down, but how long does it take to adapt? Scientology (new strain) is up.
- rtkwe 4y agoScientology is up according to what? Their own numbers are pretty suspect. And when I say religiosity I mean the portion of the population that has no or limited religious affiliation is up as a whole not just one particular denomination or religion, it's down as a whole across all religions.
- Chris2048 4y agoMe. 100 years ago: 0 scientologists now: conservatively, at least 100 scientologists As for the portion of the population that has no or limited religious affiliation, I'm not sure that mean it will keep going down, versus comes into some kind of equilibrium.
