Subject: Re: How long before China ...

Most countries are facing a declining population. Parts of Africa are one of the few areas that will have increasing population. Maybe in the very long term a smaller population is better but the pain in getting there will be high. You have a ton of aging people needing help, medical facilities, etc. with fewer and fewer people around to provide that help. Definitely another reason why I think we have peaked, for now, in terms of quality of life and longevity.
