Comment on AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 month agoIdgaf about replacement rate. I don’t want the old to be replaced. I want the economy to get smaller and for the wealth to be better distributed.

Smaller economy is fine, I guess – tho deflation has certainly caused problems in the past. Better distributed wealth is a shared goal. Depopulation, and other forms of Degrowth, are largely driven by eugenicist ideas and are neither necessary nor desirable: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW8vkUY93i8

You might notice I never once promoted any such depopulation ideas, simply that the natural negative growth trend as a result of highly educated populations is a good thing that we should not take any action against.
We need less people, we don’t need to make the number of people less: it happens on its own.
If it were possible to make a nondiscrimatory policy against growth then that would be great, but we already saw attempts fail in places like China which resulted in skewed demographics.

No we don’t. And, S. Korea in particular will need more people than they have available, soon.
