Anyone who thinks human populations are on the decline is deluded. Anyone who thinks human population on the decline is, of necessity, a bad thing needs to rethink their assumptions.

For most of human history the human population of the Earth was less than a billion.

A decline from six billion, by the means of citizens exercising their ability to reproduce or not upon their own recognizance, is nothing to cry about.

With all due respect, the real delusion is ignoring the fact that population is declining in the *West,* and this will soon begin wreaking serious social problems here.

Check out the data that’s widely available yet still largely ignored: http://www.demographicwinter.com/index.html

Watch the trailer to get a sense of what’s going on here.

Its a statistical fact that population decline follows a rise in affluence. Eventually the more populated countries will slow down and the ratios will be more static.

For most of human history the human population of the Earth was less than a billion.

And every great civilization of those times was, by these gloom-and-doom arguments, critically underpopulated.
