collapse of the old society

Counter-intuitively I think the west should be having more children (to at least replacement rate; ~2.3 per family?) as it incentivises people to care more about the future they’ll be leaving for their children.

We (humanity) as a whole were able to remove lead from our atmosphere, eliminate acid rain and stop eroding our one layer.

While I have felt the doomer’ism at times in the past, as it seems like we are lurching from one disaster to another, things are always darkest before the dawn.
