Conceptually I don’t have a problem with population decline (naturally, not artificially). However practically it’s a big problem that societies are very clearly not taking seriously right now. If we had a stable global or regional support system to ensure that people are cared for even as there are fewer people to do the caring it’d be fine. But as it seems everyone in power is adamantly against that, it’s a big, looming problem.
