Antinatalism what what - don’t make fresh when plenty actual living kids need rescuing.

I watched a video recently on how South Korea is pretty fucked because of their declining birth rate. 2.1 is fine by me.

There is nothing bad about going back to a sustainable population level. The cost for raising a child is greater than the cost for taking care of elderly. When elderly die that frees up resources for the next generation making it even easier.

The problem with declining population is the huge bubble pop you get when the population is mostly elderly people and few workers.

Right, but this can be resolved with immigration.

Maybe in the west. Not in places like South Korea or Japan. Even if you got the populations to buy in to immigration 100%, you’ve got an impossible task convincing immigrants to learn the language.

English’s hegemony over the world makes immigration to non-English-speaking areas a huge problem. Quebec, for example, tries mightily to force immigrants to learn French and the results are quite ugly in Quebec politics.

If you already know French, can you get an “in” immigration wise?
