Yet humans have and it’s a symptom of a serious problem.

The incentives are no longer there throughout the developed world.

Too much legal immigration caused depressed wages and then depressed birth rates but no mainstream Republican will admit it. They’d rather virtue signal.

“The incentives are no longer there throughout the developed world.”

The incentives were:
1. Women limited to mostly low-level jobs.
2. Social Security was called “children”
3. Far too many college-educated women (they’re too busy ‘having fun’ when they’re hot to have kids, and after they’re washed up, men have no interest in them)
4. A legal system that makes the men almost always come out on the losing side when marriages break up...so men “go their own way” instead.
5. Tattoos (obviously)

Every single country has a declining birth rate, even sub saharan Africa and muslim countries.

Many Muslim countries and former third world countries are below replacement rate. That includes India, Bangladesh, Iran, etc.

The estimated population of the world for
2000 BC: 27 million to 72 million (Average consensus is roughly 50 million)
1000 BC: 50 million to 100 million (Average consensus is roughly 72 million)
500 BC: 100 million
0 BC / 1 AD: 150 million to 330 million (Average consensus is roughly 250 million)
500 AD: 190 million to 210 million
1000 AD: 250 million to 310 million (Some models estimate up to 390 million)
1500: 450 million (estimates range from 400 to 500 million)
1600: 550 million (estimates range from 500 to 600 million)
1700: 610 million (estimates range from 600 to 700 million)
1800: 980 million to 1 billion (the world first crossed the 1 billion milestone around 1804)
1900: 1.6 billion to 1.65 billion
2000: 6.1 billion
2025: 8.19 billion

the world population will stabilize. Just as Malthus was wrong so those who straight line project population decline are wrong
