The late century population crash is going to be quite epic tragedy 🤔
The wind-down from 9,7b in 2064 should be much faster than the windup due to all the demographic imbalances
I’m guessing this model is wrong post-peak. Gotta be nonlinear effects. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectio

Without robots I don’t see how a thoroughly top-heavy distribution lands smoothly. I myself will be 90 in 2064 if still alive. Probably < 1 working age person per infirm retiree. It will be ugly. That’s why I’m working on my robots already.

Iirc ratio of working age to retired has already fallen from like 16:1 post WW2 to like 4:1. Productivity growth kinda kept up, but barely. Now without robots we’re in deep shit. Possibly literally.
