New sex drought threatens SS, Medicare, the GDP, the future (Politico report) and more Autism. Young adults are scared.

Why are you worrying today that there won’t be enough people to do the jobs that you believe won’t exist because of robots?

There won't be enough taxpayers in 20 years, and that could be a problem unless the system changes. I do think the robots should take over many jobs, and we will need UBI.

And why do you expect “technology” to be the magic answer?

Because technology did improve the world and did solve many problems.

Last I checked, we don’t have a head tax. So why does the number of taxpayers matter?

But, according to one source you posted, people are having less sex because of technology. How will technology solve problems created by technology?

What if folks have sex WITH technology will that help?

Sorry!

... perhaps I should freeze my sperm.

Just remember that you must thaw it before using.

I usually put the microwave on DEFROST for 30 seconds.

I don't know, but I did quote Politico "declining ratio of taxpayers to retirees". But I guess it won't matter because automation will take over many jobs. The solution is to raise taxes and heavily tax corporations. I just hope the US is ready to do it in 20 years.

I think technology is doing far more good than harm. Technology could reverse aging in the future. I do think technology has the potential to solve many problems.

The simple solution here will be the elite killing off the masses of people they no longer need.

Would this not solve the problem of people not having enough children? I would think that if most people reverse their aging we would have to have a LOT less children to keep populations from really getting out of control

If most people don't age you have probably taken away the majority of the ways we die. If people are having kids even at the low numbers we are doing in western countries you would have real problems of over population. Creating new spaces (Mars) only delays the problem for a while.

I have a hard time imagining a world where the aging process can be reversed, and that is made available to everyone.
