2/2 Think tanks should focus on depopulation studies, offering policy guidance and planning for sustainable, post-collapse survival. So humanity doesn't go extinct we need:
1. Replacing GDP with a better metric.
2. Less fragile technology.
3. Scenario planning to handle a population crash to a sustainable level.
4. Better post-crash strategic spatial planning.

1/2 Current research suggests Earth's sustainable population is around 3 billion, living with Swiss-like efficiency. Over-consumption in large countries and future pollution from high-population poor countries must be reduced. The challenge lies in achieving this while managing climate collapse and its side effects. A gap exists in discourse on handling declining populations within degrowth organizations.

@npub16gl…syzj nah, likely they'd sell their back end to some third party large Indian service company, like Wipro or Tata. There's still plenty of cash to milk from captive customers.

@npub1ks4…x88p they don't have conversations. They hire an executive HR consultant to recommend the pay, and then they rubber stamp it. My daughter used to be one such consultant.
