Ok, let’s say the current trend is as bad as the author is presenting here and the population should be growing. For how long? Is there no limit to how many humans this planet can sustain? Should we start slowing down at some point at least? What is that point? Sure, we can just keep making more babies to pay our SS, increase productivity etc. But what’s the long-term plan? Maybe we should start figuring out alternatives to growth ad infinitum. Think about how to incentivise urban “shrinkage” where necessary instead of urban sprawl. Let’s figure out how to provide nutritious meals and decent education for the kids we have first. When it comes to kids (I have 2), I prefer quality over quantity.
