A post scarcity world with UBI and perfect birth control naturally leads there, not through tragedy, but because people find fulfillment in other things. Having children is no longer tied to survival, status, or financial help. So the population gently shrinks, not as a problem to solve, but as a peaceful outcome. Scaling down is always easier than scaling up, even in abundance. A smaller humanity, carefully shaped by freedom rather than compulsion, like a bonsai tree.</p></blockquote><p></p>
