That's not true. The only major one that is true for is Japan.

True of Britain too.

Yes, birth rates are dropping world wide now. The only real exception
is those where the birth rates are now so low that they are right down
in the noise now.

It's very arguable what the cause of those dropping birth rates is.
They are dropping even where there is no electric light, so that
theory is very hard to substantiate. Doesn’t explain why birth rates
are still quite high in catholic countries or where muslims predominate
which have had electric light for well over a century now.

With the other claim about education too. It may just be fashion
or just because the survival rates of kids in places with no real
welfare system is now so much better than it used to be.

Eventually. But we're going to hit 11 or 12 billion [10^9] before it gets  
lower, and meanwhile resources (esp oil and clean water) are getting  
harder to obtain.

No, it's _already_ dropping rapidly (and steadily):

Historical TFR, UN 2010
Years 		TFR
1950–1955 	4.95
1955–1960 	4.89
1960–1965 	4.91
1965–1970 	4.85
1970–1975 	4.45
1975–1980 	3.84
1980–1985 	3.59
1985–1990 	3.39
1990–1995 	3.04
1995–2000 	2.79
2000–2005 	2.62
2005–2010 	2.52
2010–2015 	2.36

Replacement level (no net growth) is a TFR of 2.1; at the current rate
of decline, we will get there by 2030 or maybe even 2025, meaning world
population will level off at 10-11 billion.

As stated above, most developed countries are already below replacement
levels, especially if you exclude first-generation immigrants from
developing countries.  The above drop in TFR can be seen as a measure of
what fraction of women live in developed countries.

> and meanwhile resources (esp oil and clean water) are
> getting harder to obtain.

There's plenty of clean water; it's just not where we want it--and there
are enormous political problems to shifting either water or people.

Fossil fuels are obviously a bad idea, but the world (and sun) offers
virtually unlimited renewable energy.  It's just not where we want it.

Murphy's Stranded Resources is a horrible analysis. He
thinks we'd be lucky to find an asteroid within 5 km/s of
earth. There are some asteroids that can be temporarily
captured to the earth moon system with no propellent. And
many others that can be captured for as little as .17 km/s.
Murphy imagines retrieving a rock using oxygen and methane
as propellent (~3 km/s exhaust velocity). He evidently
hasn't heard of Hall Thrusters that use xenon. Exhaust
velocity of xenon is 30 km/s. Scott, can you plug .17 km/s
delta V and 30 km/s exhaust velocity into the rocket
equation?

Murphy's asteroid retrieval scenario is a horribly silly
straw man. This being my first post, I can't include a link.
Google Keck Final Report Asteroid Retrieval for a serious
asteroid retrieval proposal. 

And Murphy sucks at orbital mechanics. The way he patches
conics would earn him a big fat "F" if he were a freshman
aerospace student.

Take Murphy's advice and Do The Math. Then you will see
Murphy's arguments against space resources are bogus.

Yes, but it's perfectly possible to use nukes so that the remaining
oil and gas from fracking and carbon from coal gets used where
it is needed most. Even easier to clean the water where it isn't
clean enough.

It is very arguable whether raising the living standards of the worst of
the world population is going to make any real difference to population.

And politicians (and the corporations that bankroll them) are
shitting themselves because of the impending reduction in the
number of potential subjects/taxpayers/consumers.

I'd have said education - it would explain (at least in part) why
there are such concerted efforts being made to dumb down the public.

Very few countries are actually seeing negative growth yet, just lower
positive growth than they're used to.

But, yes, that is a serious long-term problem in countries with strict
immigration policies or problems that result in net emigration.

Improved education and economic opportunity for women is also a factor,
but it is a lot more expensive and takes a lot longer, mostly because it
requires social changes that can only occur through cohort replacement
and are being actively resisted in many parts of the world.

OTOH, almost nobody resists light bulbs, they reduce birth rates almost
immediately, and they're ridiculously cheap.

That's mostly due to religion (the main enemy of education), but that's
related since one of religion's primary goals is oppression of women.

Not in muslim or roman catholic countries they didn’t.

Education didn’t in roman catholic countries either.

No, that is second to female education. But statistically those
go hand in hand.

Low infant mortality is key.  Women won't get pregnant if kids lived.
Then they can use their energy to do other things.

	No need it'll balance out well enough on average.

What in the world is "it"?  As near as I can tell, the message you are 
responding to is designed to give an average yield of  2.5 children.  Are 
you saying this is a "natural" result?  I would expect there are a bunch of 
PhD. theses on what the natural number is. I estimate it is somewhere 
between zero and 9.

BTW, James Burke would simply love the light bulb idea!

AFAICT, "it" refers to the ratio of male vs female births.  However, the
ratio for any individual couple is irrelevant as long as it's roughly
even across an entire society (or all of humanity).

	Correct, since that was what the prescription seemed to be aimed at
controlling.

	Indeed and, absent any attempt at control, it will be, or at least
it has been to date.

Well, darn.  I thought the thread was about maintaining a sustainable 
population - I note the word "sustainable" above. I guess either thread is a 
natural offshoot of credit card fraud; even the dimmest bulb can see that. 
Note how that naturally morphs into the claim "Edison saves the world from 
famine caused by over population."

In places where infant mortality is non-trivial, women generally don't
have a choice about getting pregnant.

The electric light bulb is so effective because it reduces the average
darkness from 12 hours per day to 8 hours per day, which matches the
average sleep cycle--and directly translates to lower birth rates.

Unless you're discussing societies (e.g. China and India) where female
fetuses are much more commonly aborted than male fetuses, leading to an
actual imbalance in the number of female vs male births, which in turn
has significant effects on society and future birth rates.

OTOH, at least in China, female children are now becoming prized because
they can command very high prices from desperate grooms, so this may be
a pendulum that swings back and forth rather than a permanent change.  I
haven't heard of the same happening in India (yet).
