We've encouraged a low fertility rate so that replacement migration can occur[1].

This article suggests, in the year 2000, that replacement migration might be a way to combat low fertility rate in the west.

I don't think you can encourage low fertility rate. I don't think we did in the west.

I also know there's nowhere to get our replacement from once the whole world is educated. Technological accelerationism might save us, or it might doom us.

It's all rather exciting, isn't it?

Pushing young women into the workplace so they can waste their lives grinding away at meaningless soul crushing fake corporate jobs instead of raising families. Degenerate Tinder/hookup culture. The "west" certainly encouraged it.

Are you as upset that young men are "wasting their lives grinding at meaningless soul crushing fake corporate jobs instead of raising families"?
If you think puritanism is such a good way of life, you could always move to Saudi Arabia, Uganda or Texas.
I'm not moving anywhere. I'm just an observer and that is simply what I have observed and experienced in my lifetime. Some women have told me they prefer to be a housewife, but modern society looks down on that. Nothing that I can or will do about that.

Natural selection will sort it out. No reproduction leads to extinction.

The strongest societies and cultures will survive. We'll see how it plays out over the next few generations.

I'm not moving to India, China, or Arabia, but they are certainly moving here. My city of ~2M people is now 50% foreign born and mass immigration is still at an all time high. The native populations here are reproducing at below replacement level. I have observed extreme demographic changes happening in real-time within a generation.

It is incredible to experience and none of us voted for it. There was no referendum. Nothing. Apparently this was UN policy and we had no choice.

Was it UN policy? Was it adopted in a resolution? Or maybe was it that somebody suggested that this might happen in response to that and the other problem might not happen?
It was globally implemented in developed countries exactly as the UN recommended, without any local populations being informed or having any say on the matter. It was dictated by some globalist elites. We have an illusion of a democracy.
