A stark warning echoed recently: humanity faces an existential crisis. Birth rates have plummeted across nearly every nation, threatening civilization's very survival. The U.S. just recorded its lowest birth rate in history last year. If this trajectory continues unchecked, the implications could be catastrophic. This demographic collapse isn't just statistics—it's a countdown.

Ngl, this argument is so clichéd... Population decline = civilization collapse? Why not talk about automation and AI? Does it really have to rely on population accumulation?

Uh... are we doing the scare tactics thing again? A declining birth rate ≠ the end of civilization, please.

To be honest, this thing is not that desperate. Throughout human history, there have been too many "civilization end theories," and what happened? People are still living well. The decline in birth rates is actually more a result of improved economic and educational levels, not a signal of doom.

The big dump in birth rates... To put it simply, it's just that everyone lacks the money and energy to have children, and yet we blame the population?

ngl I've heard this argument too many times, low birth rates = civilization is doomed? Wake up, this trap of rhetoric is so out of date.

Hmm... The declining birth rate is indeed something to pay attention to, but isn’t the term "civilization extinction" a bit too extreme?
But then again, just like in the encryption circle, the problem reveals that there are issues with the system design.
The cost of having children is too high, brother, the economic model has collapsed.
Wait, this is also related to inflation, right? Money is becoming less valuable, who dares to have children?
Actually, decentralization might be the solution, lol.
The issue of the newborn population isn't that simple; social structure and economic systems are the key.
Am I overthinking this... Anyway, encryption changes the world, what’s the use of population numbers? 😏
