Population decline is a non issue people The same way lemmings jump off a cliff when there is overpopulation this is the human version of self regulation People complained overpopulation made everything worse and more expensive - so why is this going the other way an issue Why are people worried about it? 1)who will care for old people 2)what will keep up gdp and asset prices and hence the credit system Quite bluntly the older people die and then there is more space and houses and everything for everyone AI and innovation effectively replaces alot of the labour The real main issue is then governments will print money to keep up nominal growth to keep up the credit system which means the problem is that the credit system doesnt hold up with this You let everything inflate away and all assets get repriced on a relative basis when viewed from a different denominator and everything is cheaper, young people have better homes, they are valued since there is less of them and then they can afford to have kids No amount of podcasts and talking or policy is going to fix this globally Embrace it - because thats all you can do
