pollen,

Never mind it being too expensive to have kids, it’s too expensive to exist. Population aging is just an obvious consequence of that.

Putting my nerd hat on, I could see there being some sort of equilibrium on a large enough timeline that we vacillate between above and below, populationwise. Population itself becomes the overarching economic cycle as we swing between periods of rampant capitalism and whatever replaces it. It does not appear we would learn the first time.

This is, of course, all assuming we don't roast or blow ourselves up first.

socphoenix,

I think the safe money is on roasting for the foreseeable future unfortunately

The main reason being the massive concentration of wealth at the top, not since since just before the last catastrophic economic collapse.

Couldn't agree more

I believe it! I'm older than I've ever been myself.

And yet politicians are still talking about fixing Social Security. Good luck with that.
