You are exactly right. The only reason these articles pop up is because the current economic system is founded on debt and relies on future generations paying up for current assets.
It is merely accounting. The planet would prefer fewer people or a different economic system.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoAssuming old people get less and less capable to do things for their own survival, and old people are owed help from non old/able bodied people, then the debt exists whether or not it is recorded on a ledger. Hence if the population pyramid turns upside down, then that assumption needs to be revisited. Or automation needs to be invented to offset it.
