fertility rates are so abstract that people struggle to understand the scale of the catastrophe we’re experiencing. take 1.14 children per woman (italy and japan) if that continues, each generation is roughly half the size of the one before it start with 100 people in a generation, the next only has about 54, then 29, then 16. in three generations, roughly a century, you have a generation 84% smaller than the one you started with. for taiwan that would be 97.4%! i don't think people really understand what that means
