Always wondered why Tokyo has such a dense population. There are remote parts of Northern Japan that are very sparsely populated that look like a wasteland with abbandoned buildings, schools and railways. Most students go to school in the bigger cities, or move when they have finished school and never return. You can goal day and only see a few very old people in these areas.

You appear to support the continued growth of the human population, as shown in the section on Japan v Mexico. Why is Japan's decline population a problem rather than a advantage? Why are people continuing with the believe of an expanding population without any limits?

Because declining population in peace times always means older average population too. That means less productivity, taxes and people to care for the elderly. It's an absolute disaster, not an advantage. Humanity is on route to clear the climate crisis by the mid of this century. After that, the lack of children will be the next big challenge, mark my words.

[@doug-Hakura]

@@rafael_lana Hi, sorry for the delay, I've been thinking about your comment. I don't disagree with the changes that a declining population brings, however, how can humans continue with ever increasing population inn a infinite world? This is the basis of my position.

[@rafael_lana]

@@doug-Hakura we don't have to, that's my position. As people get richer, women naturally start having children later in life, in less number and frequency. The position where young people want a lot of children is EXTREMELY hard to replicate once you're past it, and should be used to fuel your economy to become a developed country with lots of technology and attractive to migrants who can extend said behavior. There is a maximum of how much humans can live on earth sure, but we're not even close to that. There's huge areas without mechanized agriculture, refrigeration and such things. Not to speak of promising tech like bacteria manufacturing of fuel, food or medicine or fusion as energy generation. We're solving climate change a few decades after agreeing it was real. The situation is much better than doomsayers like you to believe, because fears sells. The planet will be ok, in fact it will probably be better in 100 years then it is now bc we're here. The lack of young people will be the next big problem, just wait and watch.

Most likely these machines such as robotics and idk machines will take over even more human jobs, so that the decline in population does not affect the Japanese economy as much.

[@rafael_lana]

Extremely wrong, would make sense if the population was declining in perfect proportion. What is really happening is the young population is declining by a lot. That means less productivity, taxes, people to look after the elderly and innovate all those robots you're talking about. Japan, being a very attractive country to live in, with a big diaspora, can easily solve that by relaxing their very strict migration laws however.

There’s many patches of uninhabited places in all 64 districts even in Dhaka district which is most densely populated in whole Bangladesh 🇧🇩 with 12,000 people per sq kilometre but still has wastelands & green spaces but u media don’t intend to show the truth jus use old Dhaka as scapegoat.

Theres not ONE country that was colonized that was looted clean. In many cases (mainly the Americas) , we went from the stone age to the pre industrial age in less than two centuries. Literal 6 millenia of technology gobbled up in 200 years. Gained a common language, technology that was considered magic and some nice infrastructure to kick start our own countries. All of that for some metal, that rarely exceeds the annual production we see now. Stop balmming the colonial process for all our problems, things were just as chaotic or worse before that. Most times worse. Leaders post independence have done way more damage too, but they always have the talking point of blaming the pesky colonizers.
