It seems like you're saying that 6 million excess deaths a year in a country has been the norm throughout history, but I don't think that's the case. Even if we just think about it as a percentage of the total population, 300MM into 1.4B is ~21% of total population dead in 50 years, which would be catastrophic for a country's ability to maintain its economy, among other things. It's not exactly as bad as the bubonic plague, but much worse than Covid in any country, and much worse than any wars I can think of, so I think it would have a pretty large effect.

I am asking why sub-replacement fertility at that rate would lead to an inability to keep up with the demand for final disposition.

Is this a symptom of demographic collapse?

If China really shrinks by 300,000,000 over the next 50 years, visiting empty cities filled with mummified remains might be commonplace(economies can’t pivot fast enough to handling such a high death rate per active worker).

> economies can’t pivot fast enough to handling such a high death rate per active worker

Why? People have died at relatively faster rates in populations throughout history.

You're assuming that they died quickly and peacefully.

How many died after breaking their leg and starving alone on their floor?

newzisforsukas · a year ago

Who knows, but its probably a very small percentage if you look at the causes of death for people over 65 in Japan.

A 401k won't check up on you when you're old and alone, a few good children will. Have kids, and raise them well.

Or don't care if no one finds you when you're dead. What does it matter if someone finds you in a day or a month? You are dead.

Not having many close relationships when you die is probably a better net benefit. People are crushed when their parents pass.

I don't understand what these are supposed to mean. Is this a new writing style, song references, or just a quirk of the author?

newzisforsukas · a year ago

Seems to be references to Kendrick Lamar songs... for some reason?

Great, how long until they change the license again?
