On fertility, I wonder if the grand vision isn’t part of the problem. I’m the 70s it wasn’t that uncommon for a bunch of kids to be playing and some of the kids had Downs or whatever. I feel like that fell off pretty quickly. Much more pressure now that if you make a kid they have to be optimized which takes a lot of work. And if you do have a kid with Downs there isn’t a whole group who will just bring that kid along to frog torture or some such activity. You have to be that kid’s whole life.
Falling birth rate: Birth rate will fall, and things will continue to break due to falling population; until the point where the thing that breaks is the production of birth control pills. After that point, birth rate will increase. Thus, the problem will ultimately be self correcting.
