It doesn't take a genius to figure out declining birthrates are a good thing, but it does take someone who is not delusional and grossly out of touch. Cultures come and go, we don't need to preserve all of them forever. We live in a world with finite resources which are stretched ever thinner with an ever growing population and increased consumption and destroyed ecosystems due to climate change, deforestation, and other human activities. Not to mention there's only so many meaningful and valuable economic opportunities for people in the world, and when people don't have good economic opportunities available to them, they either starve or resort to crime. Declining birthrates are a good thing. An ever growing population is bad. It's as simple as that.
