Yes. People are having less children.
Musk talks about this a lot.
The risk for society isn’t too many people, it’s societal collapse as the population declines.

This is an absolute shocker and well worth the listen. A few takeaways: majority of childlessness due to circumstance not choice; the compounding nature of fertility below replacement rate is not generally understood; we are in deep trouble.
Yeah impending demographic collapse is going to be very bad.
I've been preoccupied with this lately. How can Social Security or pensions work on this model? It's easy for to say bitcoin fixes this, but most people have no bitcoin or any other savings for that matter. They are also not having enough kids to fund Social Security or Pensions. We already have too many homeless people. It's going to be much worse in 20 years. 🫤
