I did a calculation based on a steady growth rate followed by extinction and anthropic reasoning (aka as the "doomsday argument"), and came up with a 50% chance of population collapse by 2100.

Yeah. Bill Rees and Meghan Seibert want 90% of us to die https://www.realgnd.org/people (or a position paper somewhere in their writings). On their people page, you can see what happy ecologists they are, and BIll is a friendly old grandfather with a beard. I shouldn’t be snotty. I think they

I am worried however. I have two grandsons in their 20s. Each has a girlfriend. Those young women want nothing to do with babies. I assume they have younger siblings. I hope that as they enter their 30s their attitudes will change because of the realization that they are running out of time.
