Practical effects of Earth pop sinking to 4-5B by 2100?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 27th, 2025 8:45 AM Author: aromatic tanning salon Less concerned with the question of whether it stabilizes, and ignoring for now the question of which babies are being born.
Just curious about the second and third order effects of fifty-to-eighty years of decrease. Constantly having smaller youth cohorts, smaller cohorts of beginning workers, smaller cohorts of prime-earners, lot of dead weight retirees, etc.
Seems like the bulk of wealth and political power will get jammed up in the olds, and most of the economy will revolve around how to strip them/us of what we have.

Housing prices should plummet but I’m sure real estate developers will find a way to make housing expensive nonetheless.

Date: May 27th, 2025 9:02 AM Author: aromatic tanning salon there are twin, opposing pressures to factor in here
1. no one wants to live in bumfuck and people have been abandoning flyover for generations for sex in the city. Entire swathes of the midwest and plains especially are just depopulating back to wildlife
2. remote work has opened an escape valve from high-priced cities
So while I think we see thousands of towns vanish, and the emergence of ghost-towns and giant abandoned counties in places like Kansas, I think an upper class of moneyed parents cluster in a number of places that are NOT NY/SF/LA etc. There will be like shadow cities in beautiful places like Montana, Idaho, etc. where the remote workers go to live.

one species cannot just overpopulate and brush up against every other species and not get put back in place, one way or another. A cleansing virus will probably come and scythe the olds, who will probably be us |

Date: May 27th, 2025 7:29 PM Author: charismatic bearded office it's irrelevant because automation is going to have far more immediate and severe of an impact than the demographic cliff will outside of the most rapidly aging countries (sk, japan, etc). our ponzi scheme pension funding mechanism no longer being sustainable due to the population pyramid shape is a red herring if most of the population isn't working in the first place.
that's to say nothing of genetic engineering, as it's entirely possible within 30-40 years every new chinese child is a crispr chad von neumann even if we don't automate away the majority of labor. |
