    Like, global population is growing, likely by another 2 billion or so barring a massive plague or global war ("regular" levels of either are baked into the prediction already).

    When people say this, it's basically just a form of the White Replacement Theory, a white supremacist/Neo-Nazi conspiracy theory that's primarily concerned with white population growth rates, not global rates, as if it's a competition between races.

    It's just Elon being a racist twatwaffle again (still?). Go go apartheid slave-mine baby.

    It's absolutely about white people. Earth has plenty of people that are producing babies. Obviously some countries aren't hitting replacement level without immigration.

    The worldwide white population percentage is shrinking. At current pace it will drop by 50% or so over the next 2-3 decades. Of course, the vast majority of people on Earth aren't white even now. Over 80% I think. This is why you see certain types on the right acting the way they do. They feel outnumbered and know it's getting worse (in their view).

    They may not like it, but without some scientific shenanigans there eventually won't be any white people.

    As a white human male... I feel I am doing my part by NOT having baby white humans.

    You will notice that the people whining the most about child births aren't advocating for any policy that would help when it comes to raising children. They just blindly want more babies without caring about cost of living, wage stagnation, education, child care, housing cost etc. They just want more babies to consume more shit and keep up with their desire for infinite growth above all else that's not even going into the obvious racism.

    If those people truly cared about the topic they would be pushing for policies to help families not advocating for more welfare checks to add to their billions.

    Some parts of the world, such as Africa, parts of the Middle East and parts of Asia are still growing but they are all also trending down. In time they too will go negative.

    But to think the human race will die out is insanity.

    Well, Ol' Musky does have his totally-normal-and-not-creepy-at-all "I'll give you a baby" policy.

    I don't think it's insane to think that the human race may die out, we have brought ourselves to the brink of nuclear Armageddon a few times. Obviously we have learned absolutely nothing from those times and are now in a new global nuclear arms race.

    Literally all you'd have to do is develop society to encourage childbearing/rearing. Right now in Western nations, it generally discourages it; kids are significant economic drains and there's generally little support, certainly not sufficient support to erase the obligations. So having kids takes on obligations that are a net negative, and you have to hope that natural drives and emotional desires make up that shortfall. And increasingly, they just don't. That's why birth rates trend downwards when basic survival and propagation is off the table as a going concern.

    It's entirely possibly to reverse that, it just requires not building society around supporting the pathetic and evil dreams of oligarchs, and building it to support the masses instead.

    There are 101 ways humanity may die out in the coming decades, people not having sex isn't one of them.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    Actually, considering the shit humans, as a race, have survived, the likelyhood of us completely wiping ourselves out is pretty much down to the kind of total annihilation scenarios that you'd only find in speculative fiction. Humans have survived a literal ice age, from the point where the entire population of them on the planet likely wouldn't even fill a mid sized city. Pretty much the only scenario where we totally end the human race is going to be planet wide nuclear holocaust (the kind that involves thousands of nukes raining from the sky over every major population centre in the world) or some kind of manufactured plague that would need to make the black death look like a mild flu. Anything less, and we more than likely survive as a species, even if 99% of the population dies.

    No, but it sure as shit won't be because we just collectively decide to stop making babies.

    Either his alien brain slipped through.
    Or he is actually referring to white babies as the only ones worth calling human

    Let's not start the conversation about whether or not global nuclear war would wipe out humanity.

    The motivations of people wanting other people to have more children have always been dubious at best to me.

    The non-racist ones always revolve around wanting more tax payers or more consumers of goods, because our entire societal/economic stricture is built on the assumption that population growth will continue infinitely.

    For once I'd like to see someone actually try to solve how we could avoid having to euthanize boomers en masse when they finally become too infirm to survive without 24/7 caretakers since nobody can afford it anymore.

    The great benefit of improved medical technology: We've extended the average lifespan by 30+ years and now more people get to live to 90+.
    The great hazard of improved medical technology: We've extended the average lifespan by 30+ years and now more people get to live to 90+.

    It's great that we've extended how long we live. It's just too bad we haven't put equal amounts of thought into dealing with the fact that we're now going to live significantly longer and, in general terms, we as biological entities aren't really built to last that long.

    Worry not the right wing of this country is working hard in lowering the life expectancy for the average American. Once their work is complete (gutting social security, medicare, medicaid) we will only have to worry about the very rich living that long. Those programs foolishly increase the lifespan of the average American, mass homelessness, bankruptcy and working until death is the past they wish to bring back.

    Indeed, for better or worse, people are able to get more shit done when the male life expectancy is past 40, while women aren't expected to die at the ripe old age of Child Birth.
