You don’t have to be a mystical, supernatural prophet to see the future. If is possible to simply read the signs of the times.

While most of the future remains unpredictable, it is possible to see where things are going and make some fairly accurate predictions.

One of these concerns the human population. Every indication is that the human population will soon reach a crisis called “The Demographic Winter”. Basically, when the birth rate of a population falls to a critical stage it is no longer able to replenish itself. Put simply, there are not enough breeding couples to replace the number of people dying.

While some folks continue to prognosticate pessimistically about over population, in fact the opposite problem is facing humanity. This is just one website discussing the problem.

For 6,000 years we have been able to produce enough food to sustain a growing population. The issue here is a choice for the current generation not to produce enough children to take care of them in their old age. The Federal government stole our retirement money that should have been invested for us. So now they are stealing money from the next generation to take care of us. I personally think there is going to be an abundance of money because Musk plans to harvest precious metal from asteroids. The most expensive natural element that is stable enough to purchase is lutetium. If you order 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of lutetium, it will cost about $10,000. Money or not, it still required people to take care of people in their old age. So this results in a high death rate in third world countries. Wealthy nations can afford to plunder the resources of poor nations.

Fr. Longenecker article was not really asking the question. He gave his take.
