I feel like 2006-7 was the last hurrah before the financial crisis happened and people lost that optimism that things were going to be ok environmentally and society-wise again where they wanted to have children. I don't know if that is coming back.
But again they were only treading water in 2006-7 and keeping population steady. For it to go above 2.1 and actually increase the population would take something happening that we haven't seen since 1971.
We seem to always go back to 1971.

- api 2y agoThings are better in many many ways than they were then. We just have a media and a political propaganda industry that runs on rage and fear bait. The political parties have a vested interest in convincing you that civilization is about to collapse or driving you into a rage because turnout decides elections.
