> I'd rather live in a world with 100 million humans, and computers helping to run this world. Easy to say when you've positioned yourself as one of the 100m that gets to live - and with 7 billion people's worth of man-made resources to be shared round. I think the journey towards it would be catastrophic under capitalism (and any transition away from capitalism could also be catastrophic, at least in the short term). |

"gets to live" is not the correct way to put it. If birth rates keep going lower, everyone gets to live their life just fine.
But over the long haul, population goes down as people die of old age and younger generations are smaller.
