The markets would be growing as productivity is always growing, and there’s real wage growth as well, so there’s more goods and services people consume over time.

So what is his opinion on raping Will Stancil?

A stable human population of 9 billion cannot have endless growth in population, but you can conceivably endlessly improve people’s lifestyles through technological improvement (well, until we know everything there is to know about science)

My grandfather went to the bathroom in the outhouse (I know because I visited him). The improvement in the modern lifestyle is huge. You just don’t know because you grew up with running water and didn’t grow your own chickens for eggs

I managed a forum for a decade, and seen everything except CSAM. You just delete it.

It was on a .tk domain and it got suspended for content violations anyway

Yes, because the parts might violate emissions or noise laws

Depopulation to a lower level will bring unnecessary hardship to the older generations and slow down technological progress.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. “Trust me, bro” not cutting it

No they won’t, stop LARPing

Not necessarily at that exact number, replacement is 2.1 which is what I’m actually proposing

Your children’s future would be better if population didn’t shrink since they would have a higher tax burden

We can fix climate change with science and clean energy. If religious conservatives are the only ones having kids, you won’t have enough people going into science

That’s great, only conservatives will have kids and eventually every country will become a religious conservative shithole

It’s too retro for me, I grew up playing vga graphic games

Of course we should only use one distro of linux, as long as it’s the one I use

Why accept the suffering of having fewer workers? If the fertility rate of the world is around 2, there are enough workers to sustain a perfectly good life for everyone

You want it to get worse before it gets better, I don’t believe it’s necessary

Doesn’t matter, you need working age people. A society can’t function if it’s all old people. Period

Why shouldn’t nurse practitioners run their own practices? I just needed a lipoma taken out, does that require a medical doctor?

When you hit retirement, so will literally everyone else. You want to hire a nurse to wipe your ass because you can’t, there’s a 25 year waiting list because everyone is old.

Your one grandchild has 6 older people to take care of in addition to their one child (spouse exactly in the same position)
