How the World Will Look to Your Kids and Grandkids 

I’ve always thought that the answer to racism would be miscegenation on a universal scale. Likewise with religious intolerance: Make it a universal law that you can get married only to someone of a different race and religion. (No need to deal with sex and gender. That area is already an open border.)

If we could just get on with it! Start marrying across racial and religious boundaries until we are one homogeneous globe of mutts!

And that day may one day come. But it won’t be in the next 28 years.

According to a report TS sent me from Gatestone Institute, baby-making trends around the world are widely different and will change world demographics greatly by 2050. The long view is this: In wealthy countries, we have negative birthrates, while birthrates in the poorest countries are growing rapidly.

The facts, as reported, are surprising. Here a few of the findings:

By 2050…

* More than half the increase of the global population will be concentrated in just eight countries: Nigeria, Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Tanzania in Africa. Plus India, Pakistan, and the Philippines. Nigeria will have more inhabitants than Europe and the United States.

* Islam will have overtaken Christianity as the predominant religion in the world.

* Taiwan’s population will have shrunk to 20 million people, their average age rising from 39 (today) to 57. At that point, from China’s point of view, Taiwan will be almost irrelevant.

Now, the Gatestone Institute is clearly a conservative organization. And it’s obvious from how they present these facts that they don’t like what the future will bring. But facts are facts. If you have always assumed that the world you grew up in (and live in now) would look largely the same in the not-too-distant future, you might want to read the entire Gatestone report here.
