There's other things that can not be sorted out. The balance of global powers and culture. Like the western world or not, I prefer it to Russia, China, India. Which are the ones that can slip in the role of dominant global power if the west declines too much in population. Or if it's culture and values get too diluted.
Granted, these things happen in many generations, we'll be long dead before it happens (presuming it does), and as I have no children, nor want, so I couldn't say it interests me aside from an intellectual debate.
- epolanski 3y agoInteresting point, but honestly I couldn't care less about global chess power games. Also, Russia has among the lowest fertility rates in Europe, Chinese population has pretty much capped (the growth is 0.3% YoY), both countries are going to face the aging population issue sooner than us.

"You can't be neutral on a moving train" -- this isn't the 1600s where they're on the other side of the world speaking a different language and only having an impact indirectly.
