“ It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if half your population is female, and each of them average 1 baby in their lifetime, each generation will be 50% smaller than the previous generation. After 10 such generations, a society that started off with a million people will wind up with just a thousand people. Imagine a city like New York shrinking to the size of a small town. And in another 10 generations, that small town shrinking to the size of a single household. That’s where we’re headed.”
Doubtful, the societal incentive structures would drastically change far before we got that small.
