    The largest and most direct existential threat to the human race is that people will have too few children. It's not complicated: the survival of any species depends on replacing itself in every generation.

        I have a few and it’s exhausting. I can see the counter argument.

        In the last 20 years, we've added 1.6 billion people. In the last 10 years, we've added 900 million people. In the last 5 years, we've added 450 million people. We are more than replacing ourselves as a species.

        Can you give any follow-up on this thing you view as the biggest threat to humanity? Any qualification, explanation, information, anything?

        There is no need to replace each generation fully. We could see a modest decline (5%) for the next 1000 years and still have well north of a billion people on the planet. Probably would be good for us (less resource contention) and the planet.

        to be clear that is a 5% decline per generation, assuming birth cycle of 30-35 years.
