I feel as if people tend to forget that to some degree the way societies are organised, their morals etc, are basically an element of a wider competition. Maybe a society with an 0.5 fertility rate but advanced manufacturing / military capability / whatever wins. Maybe a society with a fertility rate of 4 but that is otherwise quite backwards wins out. Maybe AGI kills us all and makes this irrelevant.
