#ElonMusk, in an interview commenting on his 11 children, noted that society’s biggest threat is, as he described it, “Population Collapse”. This seems to be a mantra of Silicon Valley tech bros & gurus, including a lot of bloggers and podcasters - it’s like the holy grail - and it is so backasswards wrong on all levels that it is simply stunning anyone believes this. I know the economics involved, but in the age of robotization and automation, this is simply BS. These idiots (who all consider themselves geniuses entitled to lead the way) NEED to maintain the status quo at all costs for their models to work and their billions to be protected; when what the planet and the human race needs is downsizing, less resource extraction, less travel, reduced emissions and fossil fuel use, less globalization and more local ecosystem development. It’d be a short-term burden for some, but #PopulationCollapse would save the planet and the human race in the long run. #Population #PopulationTrends #Demographics #Extinction
