I have been saying for a long time that Korea doesn’t need more babies.
Korea needs better babies.
Larry Fink of BlackRock just agreed with me.
And, like Ozzy’s music, he was talking to me personally.
Or not. Who knows.
Nonetheless, here are some quotes:
“You know, we always used to think shrinking population is a cause for negative growth. But in my conversations with the leadership of these large developed countries that have xenophobic immigration policies, they don’t allow anybody to come in, shrinking unemployment, excuse me, shrinking demographics.
These countries will rapidly develop robotics and AI and technology.”
…and…
“And so the paradigm of negative population growth is going to be changing. And the social problems that one will have in substituting humans for machines is going to be far easier in those countries that have declining populations,”
100%
Countries that want to be successful don’t need more worthless babies… and certainly don’t need worthless “immigrants”.
They need high-quality babies… and those babies need to be trained to work with AI to augment their abilities.
AI is coming and much of the low-skill stuff that low-skill people do will easily be done by AI.
In higher skill domains where people won’t be replaced by AI, those people will be replaced by people who know how to use AI.
If you have no skill AI cannot replace or your skill can be outdone by a less skilled person who can use AI, there is going to be no place for you.
That should terrify you into getting some new skills.
But, if you look at growing homeless camps, you can see people are not that terrified by complete life failure.
Let’s talk to the welfare department and see if we can fix that with this one simple trick.

Thought it was worth revisiting this case, in remembrance of what some ROK trolls said at the time. Sure was wrong to protest this guy. Yes, shut those protestors up…nothing to see but a British boy here.
