Great conversation :) Just want to clarify,
I'm concerned with mismanaging a shrinking population. The global population was relatively steady or only slowly increasing for millennia, but humanity still developed. And if the thinking is that we need more inventors to keep innovation rates high, global socialist development of a smaller world of only 3 billion people would still outcompete the current capitalist underdevelopment of like 7 billion.
It could be this way, this is probable. It is hard to say whether technological progress made population grow faster (at some initial point it did surely) or later the bigger population made faster technological progress. What is sure for me is that societal changes are centuries behind the technological progress. If you heard about the Polish scifi writer Stanisław Lem, I can recommend him, he very frequently was talking about it. The societal regres is because of libs and conservatives of course. Maybe we really do not need to care to much about small fertility rate in western world when the whole world population still grows. The fertility rate is a topic frequently touched by white nationalists, because they are upset that the other races reproduce more than them. I fucking hate nationalists.
