Problem with Starlink is that the satellites need to be replaced every 5 years or so.
Yeah, but my point was that our current economic system can't deal with, not that we can't deal with it in general. Migrating away from the current system would require the powerful to give up their power, which they won't do willingly, even as the walls are closing in. (In fact, when it comes to global warming, the walls are closing in).
So, why are declining birth rates not a problem?
It's not shrinking yet, the birth rate is declining, and the world population is projected to start declining 2050.
Maybe. Could also be that humans never invent anything that comes close to a biological brain. Either because we simply aren't smart enough, or because civilization regresses before we get there. And there's several trends going on currently which could cause civilization to regress. For example, climate change and declining birth rates (While we could set up an economic system that can deal with a shrinking and aging population, our current one cannot).
So, you admit that it was funny?
I'd ask you to read the Wikipedia disambiguation page on scaling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling), but you're likely too scared to consider anything that doesn't conform to your simplistic worldview.
I said "scaling" not "scale". "Scaling" refers to how output and expenses of the enterprise behaves as it becomes bigger or smaller. Threeduck seems to think it means "big". And then immediately refers the holocaust for some reason.
Though, the term is broad, hence why I asked them about how they interpret the term.
Do you know what I mean by "scaling"? Because going by your reply, you don't.
Then again, gorillas don't have a concept of money or labubu dolls. Basically, our society gives more opportunities to fuck up.
What if we're not smart enough to build something like that?
