1180: Dean Spears | The Quiet Apocalypse of Global Depopulation
Manage episode 493268069 series 2596092
Birth rates are crashing worldwide. After the Spike author Dean Spears reveals why depopulation — not overpopulation — threatens humanity's future.
Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1180
What We Discuss with Dean Spears:
- Global depopulation is coming. Birth rates are falling worldwide and will soon drop below replacement level, causing population to peak then decline rapidly within decades.
- Depopulation won't solve climate change. Environmental problems are solved by changing what people do, not reducing population. Timing doesn't align with climate urgency.
- Government birth rate policies largely fail. Of 26 countries with birth rates below 1.9, none have returned above 2.0 despite various incentives and programs.
- Fewer people means fewer innovations. People generate the ideas and technologies that solve problems. Depopulation reduces humanity's capacity for progress.
- Start conversations about population stabilization. Rather than endless decline, we can work toward stabilizing population and making parenting more feasible and fair.
- And much more...
