well 1 out of 23 humans checking to see if random internet claims are true is better odds than i expected, well done sir

Maybe true if you're comparing 60+ to under 5

If you select North America and slide the slider between 2050 and 2080 it looks like a face opening their mouth and screaming.

Okay but you're looking at more than just white people

1950's America with that flared base!

The 1st 40years of my life i was told I had to worry about over population, in the last 5 I've been told I now need to worry about "demographic collapse"

It's not about infinite growth.

Given that not everyone lives to old age, we would expect children to outnumber old people even in a zero (or slightly negative) percent growth scenario.

While I half agree with you, that's definitely not the only issue.

Senior citizens become people to take care of, that won't/can't work and I don't mean that in a "dear God consider the GDP" way, but literally just people who will not be contributing but still require services, in fact likely a lot more than normal.

It ends up being a lot of neglected senior citizens dying in horrible ways.

Since more people in the world are in China and India you are probably wrong about it being the Bible. It is religious texts that encourage more reproduction for religious spreading to the masses and China just has more landmass so more people overall

As long as that high lifespan comes with a high healthspan, it shouldn't be a problem.

People think we need to keep growing the population. We're stuck on a single planet together. If we could live on the moon or Mars it would be a different story, but I think it's perfectly fine to decrease the population size back to 1980s levels, at least.

I'm not arguing for population growth but we definitely have more than enough resources for everyone now. Scarcity isn't the problem, it's that we allow people to hoard those resources and we waste a ton of them.

The US baby boom is not really meaningful on a global scale

Baby boomers also had more kids than the generation that preceded them. So did Gen X. Millennials are the first to fail to even replace their own population.

The issue is we don’t just go straight from point A to B, rather there’s a long period of suffering.

Unionizing opportunity.
