Who funds stoppoulationdecline.org? Population decline is a good thing. source
Apparently someone who hates Musk and loves working from home considering the article
I don't know, apparently this is the author's contact info. Ask him https://www.stoppopulationdecline.org/author/david/
Depends on what's causing decline. If its people not wanting kids then it's a good thing, it it's people not able to have the kids they want because Capitalism is squeezing them dry or assholes like Musk is reducing work flexibility then it's a bad thing
I have no love for capitalism. But population decline helps with climate change.
No, better and more effective and efficient systems help with Climate Change like Nuclear and Renewables, banning plastic in favor of infinitely recyclable glass, or more relevant, let people work from home instead of driving to an office building.
We live in a world of fixed costs that looks like it’s variable
Nuclear is not a panacea, mostly due to the cost, waste, and risk of catastrophe.
We can't grow our way out of this existential mess.
It's clear we need to reduce population.
Easy to agree on WFH, but of course that is just a drop in the bucket.
I wish I had your optimism, but this makes me doubtful.

Population decline from the black death was the #1 factor that caused the Renaissance.
