The New York Times writes that according to experts, we are at the brink of a new era. Demographers now predict that by the latter half of the century, or earlier, the global population will enter a sustained decline for the first time. Intimating that this unprecedented turn will make first-birthday parties rarer than funerals and might lead to a socio-economic disaster, but that it will be beneficial for the environment. This will let us start thinking about all the excess we do not need, what to get rid of, and what to stop producing. A socio-economic catastrophe will lead to a decrease in consumption, which will affect the birth rate, and humanity will have to plan according to the affordability of being able to cover its costs. In animals, this works on an instinctive level: less food, lower birth rates. It is a direct correlation activated within nature. Even if we become more conscious, the same egoism still controls us and continually grows. People no longer want to invest in children who will not even thank them later, leaving the house as if they do not owe anything to anyone, and even the thought of grandparents needing to care for grandchildren is not appealing at all. Rabash (a great Kabbalist), spoke very simply about what is occurring here: “Close your mouth and open your wallet." People do not want to take care of others. Nature is an auto-regulated system—call it “the Creator”—which wants to create the most suitable conditions for self-correction. We find ourselves at a crossroad of a part of our correction that is conducted by the upper governance, and a part of our correction that we will consciously accept upon ourselves. Unfortunately, we currently see a lack of desire in humanity to actively research what is happening to us and what we can do about it.
