Elon Musk is right; forget about all the nonsense of a population bomb; the real problem is depopulation, and of all things, it is the existential concern, because it is really about long-term extinction of the human race. It is as stark as that; across the world, over all races and places, people are not having children at, or beyond the net reproductive rate. By 2050, the average woman will have only 2.1 children, compared to 3.1 in 1950. That includes Africa and South America well. Europe is predictably much worse; France had the highest fertility rate among the EU member states with 1.84 live births per woman and Malta had the lowest rate with 1.13 live births; the average for the EU as a whole was 1.53. So, as an average birth per woman figure of 2.3 is needed to prevent extinction, without some radical turnaround, the human race goes extinct.
Of course, the problem here is modernity, which is the force producing contraception via the pill, and hence the women’s lib. position. That system will long collapse first and is likely to in turn reverse all of this nonsense.
