Thanks for bringing this topic up Nate, it is often overlooked with all the other overshoot issues on our plates. We are likely to see an ever increasing decrease in population that will indeed change our economies.
Wow, this is compelling stuff, info I’ve been following to some extent since childhood out of sheer intuitive interest and concern. Wild to hear it from the big picture, global gdp and population into the near future. Thank you for presenting it! I want to spread the word and will continue to support people in my community and network with their health and wellness goals.
It was a very compelling podcast/interview. Face this triple quadruple let’s just call it poly crisis menace of not only wiping out the biodiversity that defines the enormous fertility and climate shaping power of the world‘s regional biomes, but a plunging human population then also makes the global economy unviable.
The most effective measures for resilience are the same that disengage us from the energy intensity, driving the world over a cliff. What Nate calls the great simple vacation is not only forced on us, but is the necessary act to protect ourselves.
It also happens to be the most direct and most affordable means to develop as much as possible methods to enjoy a comfortable life on the resources available locally. Re-localizing. Our communities is an act of preparation as well as reputation of the pathway here all being herded into.
Sorry, Nate, but you've drunk the Kool-Aid of the uninformed. In my 2018 e-book, "Stress R Us", I gave references for the negative effect on reproduction of crowding and coined "population density stress" to include the inhibitory effect of our high cortisol blood/tissue levels on the master reproductive hormone, GNRH (Gonadotropic Releasing Hormone). We are now 3,000 times more numerous than were our ancestral Hunter-Gatherers/pastoralists, who had/have none of our "stress diseases", the top ten killers of modern humans and the chief cause of infertility. What could go wrong? The "Seneca Curve"?
