Au contraire.

Humans should be striving to reach a population level which is sustainable for all of the years of the future.

If that means reducing population levels from the current unsustainable figure, so be it.

If humans don't do it voluntarily, Old Ma Nature will do it for us. No ifs, buts, or maybes.

I have wondered, could this be part or answer to Fermi Paradox? That is advanced civilizations naturally die-off as they don't see anymore need to reproduce over replacement rate as automation will provide them sufficient pension?

Hi Elon,

Population collapse is not necessary bad.

The nature will find a proper equilibrium, shake off the metastatic human expansion, heal Earth's surface wounds, digest the plastic.

If Elon Musk genuinely cares about this (and I don't believe he does), he would argue for a more equal society where people can afford to start having kids at a younger age.
