If the system is expecting population to grow infinitely and holding everyone to hostage for it then the system needs to change.

Be careful what you wish for. Societal change comes with disorder.

So does infinite population growth.

Doesn't seem like stasis is possible so the question is more what change we want to see given our current constraints.

I don't think wishing or not will stop whatever is coming.

China learned about the perils of a child policy the hard way.

The system is built on everything growning.

ergo the "limits to growth" :)
