Comment It is inevitable (Score 3, Interesting) 125

It is possible to list a myriad of reasons for the population decline, and therein lies the answer, too. The more freedom people have, the fewer people choose to have children. There is no magic bullet to fix it without dismantling a free society. Reduced population growth is a feature of a more advanced human civilisation.

The decline of the world population is inevitable, and it would be wise to prepare for that while providing support structures for children too.

Countries will end up competing for immigrants. My kind wish is that nationalism would start to crumble, but it might not be pretty.

It is like any other social media. After muting words and accounts you do not want to see and with active curation of the timeline, the content can be rather nice and center on your interests.

Feels like people who complain about the content on social media simply have low agency.

The best modern analogs for Altavista are general-type dark web search engines. They are not particularly effective or useful. A funny alternative to Altavista was the warez search site Astalavista. A pretty sure way to get infected too.

Google was next level and changed the game completely. The early years of Google with dead simple usability and magic-like functionality would be nice, so somewhere in the late 90s to 00s.
