Here's a black pill take (note. I don't necessarily believe this but it's worth stating)
The truth is society has lost its satisfaction. Even the rich are bored. The future is boring if everything is solved....people don't want to live in a boring world and money doesn't make boredom go away if you have 1B+ extra people who also are trying the same thing....
I think they don't actually want just a depopulation because of control....I think they want it to revitalize the social structures....not just for the elite....I think they may be betting on just being able to survivave longer because of their existing power, but they don't have any real belief that they are invincible.
Instead...they want a challenge ... A calling. Something to pursue that's gives them meaning in their lives....just as we all do.
By bringing around a feudalist world....they have their wars and their passions back....they dream of empires fighting empires again.....
The American dream was challenge....it was the feudalism of the self....but somehow it has run out. (Sorry, but america doesn't have the dream anymore....it doesn't have the supports anymore for it....)
I too am bored. I feel like all the struggle is contrived. I don't feel like I have anyone to protect from anything really, any banner to fly, an empire to fight against or for that brings anything greater, or a purpose to champion.
Hobbies, pastimes, pursuits....sure. got a lot of those. Money isn't bad, could save invest and keep my head down and be fine.
But it's boring. I feel like over the years, I keep seeking escapes from the dullness of life...not the struggle....the struggle is all this 'convenience' and the apathy it has bred. I fear we are going to be seeing a 'Warriors' style moment soon amongst those negatively affected by the culture stagnation and perpetual numbing of our individuality.
Worrying about bills, and retirement and planning annual vacations....that's wrong kind of struggle
