Achieving the 21st Century ‘Depopulation Dividend’. Japan as the World’s Research Laboratory for a More Sustainable Future

Depopulation is almost certainly good news. Current rates of resource consumption considerably exceed nature’s capacity to reproduce itself sustainably. Indeed, in 1997 humans burned fossil fuel energy equivalent to greater than 400 times the annual net primary productivity of the earth’s current biota (Dukes, 2003); and the rate has been accelerating since then.

Most resource consumption is taking place in rich countries, whose populations and economies had been growing more or less continuously for hundreds of years. Fortunately, the 20th century trend towards exponential population growth has slowed, and in some countries gone into reverse, as fertility rates decrease to below population replacement throughout most of the developed world. Fertility is dropping rapidly in developing countries too. UN Population Division data show that only 9 per cent of the world’s population now live in a country with a high rate of fertility (UNPD, 2013).

Depopulation is good, especially if it starts with CIC.

Well, not exactly true.

Europe post-WWII native population has been declining and US population roughly stable.

It's only because of high levels of immigration from nations where the replacement rate is anywhere from 3 to 6 that is the problem.

The Western Middle Class the worst of both worlds.

We create a high value economy, stabilize our births, and then get dumped on by people who essentially want the Western Taxpayer to raise their kids for them gratis.

They are aided and abetted by globalists and liberals who want nothing more than to destroy the voting power of the Middle Class by saturating us with dependencies who will then, of course, vote their favorite bureaucrat into office.

This explains Obama's desparate search, now that Mexico has stopped producing babies, to find yet another source of bodies.

All things being equal, a nation with adequate housing and land will vote Republican, will want stable borders and finance. All of that doesn't sit well with the voracious globalists who want to suck it all up for themselves.

Meanwhile some welfare Ho is smocking crack and turning tricks 10 feet from her toddler and she goes on to make 5 more kids.

And what do you have against Free Enterprise???

What is it about this thread that suddenly switched the default text to boldface? I'm not even quoting anything, and I am getting boldface still.

The Immigration Act of 1965 was a good start down this road ere those 50 years ago.

The funny thing is all the articles hyping the cost COVID uptick, which was just marriages delayed for a few years due to Lockdowns.

The real takeaway is that the 2021 numbers are lower than pre-pandemic 2018-2021 and the numbers are still at lows not seen in US history going back to the late 19th Century. In the worst year of the Great Depression it was 7.9

There was also a huge amount of Gay marriages in that uptick at the end of the chart.

This seems like an opportunity for those who have good values, a good community which will help instill those values into their children, and who can nurture large families.

Maybe it will be self-correcting like richwicks says.

I might be off my rocker, but I think the actual event of marriage is preventing people from getting married. The ceremony, the reception, the honeymoon and all the other shit people do now. I like a good party, but we've party(ized) something that shouldn't be. Created a massive industry. Wanna get married? Mom and dad have $30k+ to blow? Drop $1k+ on a one time wear dress. Pay $5-10k on below average banquet food?

Besides the future financial issues in a potential divorce aside, who the hell would want to have a wedding right now?? It's a fucking fortune. So people just have kids out of wedlock. So I don't think marriage is the best metric for predicting future child births.

You can get married without some stupid expensive ceremony.

Basically not true. It's the standard. I agree with you, but that's not what people think. Traditions are gone with who pays for it as well. Guys family might have to pay for it and the divorce. So why get married? Hence why marriage rates are dropping. It is a factor for sure. Father's don't want to dump money into a wedding either. I'm soooooo happy I didn't have daughters. But I think that tradition is going away as well where daddy pays for the wedding.

No one wants to pay for it as it's approaching the cost of a Tesla that is gonna screw you in the future ;)

I doubt that the Amish have expensive weddings. Regardless of the cost, if they have lots of children to whom they pass on their values, and their neighbors don't, maybe the Amish will take over.

They probably should. I won't disagree with that. The norm unfortunately is spending a shit load of money on weddings. I don't agree with it, but it's the norm. My wedding was nothing for the amount of people. I think 300 people. We spent under $10k. Live band too. Maybe my ego, but still get best wedding people have been to comments to this day. Frankly was still more than I wanted to spend.

My comment wasn't saying people "should" spend large sums. I think it literally prevents younger couples from getting married. The industry screws people over big time. So young men don't pull the trigger on marriage. Right or wrong, I do think it's a factor. It's a lot of money and parents and in laws don't have the cash to foot the bill. Hell most don't even have savings. I think that's the biggest factor in marriages declining. That and the hookup culture.

The post is about world population but the comments are about the USA population decrease which is only about 4% of the world pop.

Yeah, the gubmnt here is just too obnoxious. Yet in countries like these, the population is growing leaps and bounds. One thing I find travelling in 3rd world countries is how happy the poor are-ignorance truly is bliss.




What are they supposedly ignorant of?

One thing I find travelling in 3rd world countries is how happy the people are compared to americans. Especially the "highly educated" career climbing multiple divorced 50+ hour a week working but still debt ridden morons.

I didn't even buy my fiance an engagement ring. She was shamed by her peeps into buying it herself. Later, we got a pittance from the class action lawsuit against DeBeers that I had to hound her for to submit claims information.

Women - can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

Eh, jewelry is tough. I actually think rings are a thing that is worth doing. One it lets others know you're taken so to speak. Two it's a sign you committed by spending a little (or a lot) of money on them. They can look good. I'm a watch guy so I have bling on my wrist a lot of the time. Necessary, absolutely not, especially if you cannot afford it. It's nice if you can though.

I'd never give anyone shit though for not buying a ring. Do what you want. Do what you can afford. If the chick isn't happy is that the one you want to be with? Go to a thrift store and get something unique. In the end it's never about the money if you want to be happy.

A diamond is a scam all the way from purposely shut down mines to the marketing to women's emotion and need for attention. Diamonds are so plentiful, they're worthless.

Don't disagree at all. They look cool though. Just got to not be an idiot and overpay.

There's a great documentary about DeBeers and the entire scam out there somewhere. I watched it about 20-25 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if it couldn't be found anymore.

Precious metals and stones are all a scam. Don't need to watch anything for that. Some have value for electronics, but it's way less than people that invest in it should pay for it. If you want it for fun go for it and just know what you're paying for. Gold, silver, diamonds, platinum, etc. Besides utility they're basically worthless minerals.

If someone want's to buy a Ferrari, go for it. It's a stupid expense but whatever. That's the way I look at it. Not needed, but if it makes you feel good have at it. Just make sure you can afford it. Same with diamond rings.
