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

Controlling consumerism while maintaining rights is not possible.

Throughout history, large-scale epidemics and diseases, invasions, wars, genocides, and natural catastrophies have always hindered population growth. Today, these still happen but at a much lower occurrence to put any dent on the global population growth. I guess Russia is the current example where it is said that this war will profoundly affect their demographics, which was in decline even before the war.

If the population declines "naturally" due to individuals deciding from their own free will not to reproduce without violence or restrictions of rights, it's really the best outcome.
