The world will belong to the old

Population aging is not something that happens inexorably under the influence of the stars, without human intervention. Ideas have consequences. And this aging is the fruit of what governments and ideologues have promoted; after all, in many countries there is more aid for abortion than for having children.

We and our children will have to manage this aging society, a longer working life, and a lot of vacancies in places that used to be occupied by children, including schools and entertainment venues. In return, interesting business opportunities will arise, because, as we are already seeing in advertising, the perfect target will no longer be the young but the old. However, the bonanza of the silver economy and the fact that we are able to adapt will not hide the sorrow of an aging world, without the joy of children. However much the elites in Brussels and New York may say otherwise, the truly pressing issue is not the climate apocalypse but the alarming shift in the population pyramid.

The West must take very seriously the urgent need to get everyone procreating. Now that the post-pandemic summer of love is upon us and the streets are filled with sculpted bodies, it doesn’t seem too difficult. Perhaps, at least in America, this is an area where a favorable decision in Dobbs can help restore balance.
