It is entirely possible for the world to be overpopulated, and have a low TFR. We are currently in the first stage of a correction from overshoot. It will take decades or even centuries to correct. The more hopeful scenarios take longer, but still require a long period of correction to a lower population. If we don’t do it voluntarily, it’ll happen to us.
He's ignoring the effects our massive footprint is having on everybody and everything. A shrinking population will cause problems but they will be less than what we face from overpopulation.
@@Bennyboy42422 No he can't give examples because what Morland says is true. Many others are saying the same thing btw, Darrel Bricker is one example..
Talking about cost of living and comparing wealthy countries to poorer countries misses a big part. There are local laws and local cultural expectations plays a big part in relative wealth and poverty, and perception of wealth. I can't build a make shift house on public land without repercussions. People need to feel like they can support themselves before they feel like they can support a family in the current environment.
Regarding Humans depopulating to extinction, I am more than dubious. Humans are opportunistic, adaptable creatures. Eventually, depopulation will lead to changing economic situations, chaos but then to new opportunities that will inspire population growth.
@@FlaviusMaximus1967 Indeed. But that could take decades or over 100+ years, just like the Bronze Age collapse or the European 13th Century Demographic Collapse. But those were agrarian civilizations, not industrial. Many Industrialized Countries inadvertently set up situations that have led to their Demographic decline while others have not. Those populations are fair. The Collapsing ones will lead to internal conflicts and chaos followed by a long pause then recovery. But it will be ugly.
Having babies does not resolve the issue of a small Gen Z trying to support a Huge retired Baby Boom generation.

Technology will not solve overshoot.
I hate it when presenters talk about babies as labor, as in, “if you’re not to going to do your part to produce that labor…”
That is how the wealthy pricks who control the world think of us. We're just working livestock to this ilk.
I want some of what Morland is smoking. Back to back conflicts in logic and double think.
Can you give examples?

The role of modern medecin ? Should medicine work toward mortality ?
Completely out of date. Epigenetics and the robots change everything,

We're reacting to current events. When circumstances change, so will behavior. 100%

Ideal would be the world goes to say 1.8 or 1.9 child per woman...we still go down in numbers but at a pace society can manage...
The way he destroyed that last woman's question with his brilliant reply just made my day. 😂😂😂
Fabulous talk
Fantastic speech. Thanks for speaking so frankly about such a crucial subject without avoid facing and discussing some current cultural taboos.
I'm in absolute shock the WuMao and bots aren't all over this video. Cheers
A shrinking, aging population does not have to solve the climate crisis. It solves itself in that scenario.
The population isn't shrinking
An excellent talk. Thank you.
