"...Population will drop dramatically..."
Despite the dramatic drop in reproductive rate, improved longevity is INCREASING relevant populations.
This is what I meant.

that is no doubt true..
Japan.
getting older...but the kids are having less children.
the population is decreasing.
Same With Eurp...population delcine.
and the Good Old USA...the onliest reason the population has increased is because of peoples coming here from other places.
Given two or three generations of a high standard of living and peepls don't have so many children...if any at all.
Well, perhaps... I can't help but suspect that extant socioeconomic factors are contributing in ineluctable ways to the current decline. Various pressures, like delayed reproduction (extended education and age of consent increasing), economic forces (rising housing and other costs), and population density induced social neuropathology (like lemmings, people get nutty when packed like sardines), all are both strongly exerting negative reproductive influence on affluent populations, and quite temporal, as well as unpredictable.
Feminism, Antifa, and corrupt gummint would make me less prone to passionate breeding.
Hell, Imma become a monk, now.
Edit: I wonder if affluence induced reproductive repression has acted throughout history to weaken empires, making them more vulnerable to barbarian hordes? 0_o
hang on a minit...
I'm looking for a dictionary.
Uh... Oops! XD
