Probably the most socially relevant convo you've conducted yet, on more fronts than drug use. You're filling in a gap between John Oliver and Lex Friedman.

Population decline is not a problem. Borders artificially inflicted on the land and waters are the problem. The nation state model which is only several centuries old is inadequate for a world of 8 billion precious humans today with an additional 80 million, 2X population of Canada, joining us annually. Using Japan as an example find there's countless ghost towns as the people moved to the big cities.
Currently GDP is 99% correlated with flammable fossils and materials are 100% correlated. GDPs inventor warned against using GDP as a measure of prosperity and health of a nation. The sooner they're decoupled the more likely we can begin to slow stop reverse emissions of 51 billion tons of greenhouse gases pollution into our globally shared atmosphere annually. Spot on talk, thanks
