But less people means not enough people to support the layer of pyramid above it.
That’s it isn’t it?
Who’s going to pay for those millions of vacant apartments, and who’s going to support the elderly if there’s not enough people?
Like it or not, there will be a disruption from it if its too sudden, but I don’t see it as the dire thing that he seems to think it is. It’ll eventually sort itself out and we’ll be better for it.
We can’t grow forever. We’ve already made irreversible damage to the planet. Disruption to human comfort is nothing compared to the species and lands that are now forever extinct.

I agree, we can’t grow forever, I just also think there will be consequences to a declining population, but thats okay, and we’ll get through it. The more gradual we can decline the smoother it’ll be.
Continuing our growth would just be worse in the end.
With the way some country leaders talk about using nuclear weapons these days (Russia and now Israel), it won’t be a gradual decline in world population but a rapid one.

What consequences do you see? I don’t see anything difficult to overcome. What big picture am I not seeing that you’re talking about?
