I think you missed the point of my comment. I don't believe the author's premise at all, that population will decline. The population is still growing as it always has. Why would it stop now? The author makes no argument that it will and the data shows it hasn't. To lerp the declining growth rate derivative out a few decades is as ridiculous as the people who lerp the population count directly. This is Henny Penny stuff.

So instead I critique the author's views on society. It's not women having careers, prevalence of safe sex, or tinder usage to blame. Has anyone tried blaming the avocado toast yet?
