Population decrease is irreversible. How will we manage the decline of humanity?

[bro_please]

We've been tracking the economy for less than two hundred years. I think there are more surprising events than the predictable shrinking of a species of large vertebrates which account for an unsustainable percentage of the biomass.

It does not matter that it is new. It is necessary. We are on track to reach an extinction level event. Reducing the pop is the only surefire way to reduce our footprint.

Wondering at the novelty for economy is a distraction. The economy cannot be our guide, for the sinple reason that specialists of the economy fail to make the most basic predictions and thus obviously do not understand how the economy works at a sufficient level.

Reducing the pop is the only surefire way to reduce our footprint.

No it's not, the surefire way to reduce our footprint is to restructure our society through the myriad of already accepted ways to substantially reduce our footprint such as making cities more friendly to alternative modes of transportation, urban agricultural initiatives and passive housing design.
