But the problem is also that people are getting older and question naturally arises Who will take care of the old people in the not so distant future? This is also something that humanity has not yet faced. I mean what if at one point old people outnumber those in the workforce? Who will pay the bills?
It really is simple math with birth vs death. Humans are outpacing the death rate with birth. I don't think any other species could do the amount of damage to our planet than humans have. The irony is that cockroaches and bacteria outnumber humans.
I don't know what humans can do, and I am honestly at a loss. I find lots of hope in innovation, but even that requires resources. We are not going to go back to rocks and sticks and backyard farming, so that is a problem.
