There is no way a capible country wont resort to this to stave off population collaspe. Especially countries where ethics is not a big deal to its culture. And once one country cheats...

Shoot! Sorry everybody. The text didn't post. Nevertheless. I wanted to state that if a country has the capacity to engineer life and a culture with poor ethics, then I can't image them accepting population collapse then there is a alternative.

I see "Brave New World" as the current leader in playout probabilities. And since the world needs epsilon semi-morons to get work done and women ain't putting out. Something has to give. Collapse or New Age.
I make this as a warning, I got wrapped up in Harry Dent back in 2012. It turns out the market wasnt going to collaspe but instead soar. I see a lot of simularities between these two.

The thing that affected me most when I stopped being a devot Cathlic was losing the foundation that stayed my feet. You lose the stability that religion provides in daily decisions. I felt bad for true atheist because it is difficult to be happy when there is no true purpose to your decisions. I theorize they have turned politics and science into a new religion to compensate and in turn have doubled down on wokism, reality dysphoria, and mental illness.

I'm an atheist, and I'm happier now than when I was religious. I wonder where you get this idea that being an atheist leads to depression. In fact, losing what you called "stability" is actually freeing. It makes me far more appreciative of life and in particular, "it's not the destination, but the friends and path taken along the way." I think there's a certain beauty that comes from not knowing with absolute certainty due to everyone finding their way. It is this that creates the kaleidoscope of the human condition.

everywhere there should be a period is a spot i pressed enter to make a list.
After reading World War Z, one of the last conversations was on the whales going extinct. If we have a global famine, I can see their recent recovery go full stop. In the novel, when you can't farm on the land you farm in the sea. Let's get ahead of this. Get Paul Watson on the phone and let's get on T.V.

It definitely isn't capitalism peaking. I'd say it's Dialectical Leftism conquering most institutions.

Im looking for enlightenment. I understand what you are saying about it being conqured, I'm thinking of it in a way similar to how Moors's Law no longer applies to microchips. it has reached it's peak in cost efficientcy. Companies now just merge together to save on cost which made it easier for them to be "conquered" as you say.

Logan - Hope you see this, since I can't tag you.
'Neoliberalism has allowed multinational corporations to gain an insane amount of centralized power. And many of the leaders of these corporations subscribe to a Hegelian moral framework.'
So, what you're saying is that capitalism has eaten leftism? I agree! Glad we're on the same page. ^_^

Probably not although we have not reached the "player piano" point of autimation causing massive social unrest yet so after that it might be a possibility so Im not willing to rule it out 100%. Yet if even china whos got a light absolutist system and well aware of there population about to half sees it as to risky. If china wont theres no way the other countries with massive ageing crisis like italy or japan will do it either.

I dont see a solution outside of it. Either you euthanize the older population or you force the women to birth while also demand they work.

I think the western approach will ultimately be to replace the population with migrants from sub Saharan Africa,they will be reaching unstable population growth,while Europe will be facing unstable population decline,so it makes sense that a migration period is inevitable,I don't like it but accept it as a real possibility,Europe has gone through several major population replacements in the past,from the original aurignacian culture to the Indo European invaders
