    Educate and empower women, and we’ll barely be at replacement levels, so that’s not really a problem.

    The real problem, IMHO, is that everything you listed is a threat to one or another structure of power and will likely be opposed by those in power exactly for those reasons.
    Yeah, this is why we can’t have nice things…

    We need to push for a culture that sees the accumulation of power as a threat and those who are greedy for power and control as outright sick.

    We need to re-discover and develop ways to organize ourselves that do not rely on a hierarchy, on having rulers.

    We need a society where those structures of power that hinder change and self-determination are not seen as inevitable or “natural”, are not seen as the lesser evil, but are seen as THE problem, the next challenge for human ingenuity to overcome.
