Again though, we have our own challenges. If we don't rise to meet them, we'll die out. Perhaps it's the fate we deserve.

Who will die out? Maybe a big chunk of humans will but humanity will always keep going. Africa is still having lots of babies. If needed Western countries will just import them which is what they have been doing.
Nobody deserves to die out unless you don't value humans.
Then the standard of living for those shrinking generations will continue to fall. It's a damned shame. The thing is, economics are only a part of what is happening. There are health related issues which are probably more important. Low T levels, for a start. Cultural changes too. It's not a good course we're on, so rather than people complaining they're poor, it'd be better for the sake of humanity if they made more babies.
Africa is still having lots of kids so humanity will be fine.
