After the Spike and the Myth of Depopulation

After the Spike by Dean Spears and Michael Geruso focuses on #depopulation, but its arguments are built on shaky ground, stirring up fear, rather than focusing on the facts. What’s more troubling is the authors don’t disclose their funding from Elon #Musk, who has frequently made headlines with his concern over low #BirthRates. Here we’ll break down the flaws in their arguments.

I heard the authors of this book about #depopulation interviewed recently on a podcast, and something seemed off about what they were saying. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but @davekarpf nails it.
It would be nice if Deep Thinkers would stop bemoaning that people aren't having "enough" kids and start implementing the obvious policies which would improve people's lives here and now and make them want to have more kids.
Pronatalism is clownish.
