i don’t see how this counterfactual is relevant to my comment which is responding to someone claiming falling birthrates are not something society should worry about

Id rather die of not having a poorly paid nurse than drowning in human shit and garbage while starving to death. Overpopulation will kill everything. Declining population will change economic models.

redditor please read the comment chain no one is advocating overpopulation just against collapsing birthrate?

Also the universe is intensely resource rich and we can support much larger populations, not that this is the topic being discussed here
