When we reach 10bn people, we will already have almost no children. This is what most people don’t get.
The slowdown is already here. Birth rates are still collapsing. But people worldwide are living longer so the actual number of people is still increasing.
By the time you get to 10bn in 50 years, it means you will have the majority of that pretty old. It will mean a completely unsustainable world demographic. And it will probably mean a massive collapse in population to 2-3bn within a few generations.
No idea what that will bring, but it will be a very different society to now.
