real solution: invest heavily in making sex robots more realistic. I'm talking Westworld-style.

If dudes had a copy of ScarJo with an offswitch they could store in their closet, there would be a lot fewer pregnancies.

A large part of romance is tension and personality. I doubt this will ever be a regular thing...

?

I see articles once a week lamenting the fact that people aren't having enough children to support these boomer leeches

did you quote the wrong post by accident? my post didn't really have anything to do with romance

Something that came up when i was thinking about capitalism. There are many people out there blaming the rich for this and the other. Imagine you replace rich with intelligence. Now read statements like its intelligent peoples fault they are ruining this country.

Do you even realise that the Earth's population is forecasted to decrease by 2100? We won't hit 10 billion

According to which source?

This site:
https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/world-population-projections/
projects growth of the world population until after 2100...

They're probably using UN figures

The basic gist is this:
1) the UN projections assume higher fertility rates as they're based on older data so they forecast growth until around or after 2100
2) msot updated projections with current and projected fertility rates predict a falling global population from anywhere between 2050 and 2100

https://www.thelancet.com/article/S0140-6736(20)30677-2/fulltext

Underpopulation is much more likely to be a problem in the long term than overpopulation as rising incomes and living standards cause fertility rates to decrease globally

That's very interesting, thanks for linking.


A population which is falling and aging too quickly will obviously cause problems, particularly with maintaining pensions and the welfare state. In the long run, however, I believe that a lower world population is better for everyone and not very problematic. Advances in automation and AI will mean that we will need a lot less people to produce the same amount of goods and certain services. It also defuses the climate change problem quite a bit. If mankind has to operate in carbon-neutral fashion past a certain date, then having a world population of 8bn instead of 11bn means the per capita carbon budget will be 37% higher.

In the very long run, I'm thinking 2200 and beyond, mankind should settle at around 1 to 2 billion people, with stable birth rates at the replacement level.

Why need a solution?

They already set their plan in motions decades ago.

Look how many people live unhealthy lives and are out of shape.

-Junk Food
-Sugar
-Water costing more than soda

-Smoking
-Drinking

-Pollution

-Tv+Devices replacing exercises and going outside.

-Working unhealthy hours while not having enough $ to live without stress due to bills.

"Fake Covid" killing ppl due to stress and isolation/lockdown/mask/covid vaccine deaths

You dont need any methods. We freefalling to #Depopulation.
