Good. Lowering the birth rate at the global scale = more resources per person.
I agree with you, but also what are we going to do when there are a ton of old people who need to be taken care of, and there aren't enough young people to take care of them?
They will suffer. And I'm willing to be among them as it's worth it long term. The alternative of infinite growth isn't a realistic possibility in a world with finite resources.
Should get interesting as capitalism infinity profit model begins to buckle under its own weight.
You realize you are talking to an older individual, right? And us younger people would also deal with suffering to support a brighter future for our descendents.
You'll see AI stepping in on a lot of areas where there's decreased labor supply.
And a bonus for when you are old - AI is going to be far less likely to secretly be a sadistic fuck going into an industry with a vulnerable population in order to torture you when you have dementia and can't tell anyone about the regular abuse.
You'd be surprised at how often that kind of stuff happens when "young people take care of old people."
We also have that problem and you don't fix it by making more furore old people. That's what AI is for.
We can kill ourselves. Honestly you think the world wont be on fire for other reasons by then? Lol
Ættestup 👌
