Higher standards of living across the board decrease the birth rate whereas poverty has the opposite effect.

However the global pursuit of straight up abundance for the sake of abundance or perceived security can only accelerate and aggravate climate catastrophe while exponentially increasing the chances for global conflict.

The governments of the world will need to WTFU to the new reality, and we most certainly need to set the example.

Thanks for the thread Passages
