You first must understand that Samseau and I believe that population decline is coming, though I'm not sure how fast either of us think it will occur. He can speak for himself, but I generally believe also that supply chains, food, and basic pharma that have allowed for such great population growth, almost entirely due to western innovation for hundreds of years, are going in the other direction, especially when WW3 events get hotter. Those events will make certain geographic regions suffer relatively greater than others, and area #1 of struggle will be the Middle East. Africa will see similar or greater % population losses for the same reasons, or perhaps they'll be in the ballpark of other nations but their population level is so high that those absolute numbers will taken down global population dramatically. All in all, I don't wish for any of this to happen, but it seems sort of written into the fabric of the fallen universe where types of cullings always come along because quality decreases so much, and people go so crazy, after booms and population manipulation of many varieties.
