You're thinking exponential population loss. Climate change will kill it linearly, and in a multi-modal process; as zones that become too hot will force population migration, which will come with a certain amount of loss of life for one reason or another. Younger generations are having fewer kids, not getting their drivers license at anywhere near the same rate as older generations. They're pulling away from other fossil fuel intense organized activities like sports, where it's resource intense to haul people and gear for bread and circus night. All of that will change human agency patterns around the globe and come with some level of population loss that might otherwise been prevented if it had never been necessary. The cause and effect of leveraging past statistical models to predict the future. What the elders keep doing wrong is simply using their recent prior experience to be some kind of immutable truism about reality. We let technology fetishism take hold of a quirk of biology religion stumbled upon. Adam Smith is claimed to have wrote along the lines of the division of labor taken to its extreme would lead to a kind of human that is less intelligent than the dumbest creature on the planet. I assume he means infantile, coddled. I am growing more and more fond of my rural/farm land upbringing lately. Growing food, hunting, fixing tractors to help the community as Reagan looted their pensions to fund GenX, whose kids are now the bag holders, provides an interesting perspective; I later earned an MSc in math so I get "both sides" contributions to economy first hand. All sides act like cognitive authorities, and it's fucking exhausting having to remind people I feel no immutable obligation to them specifically. To me we're lucky to be alive, whatever level of material existence they have is not on me to preserve. I've seen too many get screwed for reasons we could prevent, so I really don't care if either side gets its ass handed to it. Front row seats to the apocalypse. Geronimo.
