Thinly veiled ad hominem attacks notwithstanding...
Here's a peer-reviewed published study detailing how 30 invasive species have led to the extension of 738 other species. They all continue to grow at unsustainable levels until the ecosystem collapses and a new equilibrium is left in the ruins. They aren't YouTube videos, but I'm confident you can read.

In case you can't, here's another actual scientific article (I hope you'll look. This one has pictures!) detailing how declining populations are also aging populations and the problems that result.

You're still speaking to me like you're a petulant child.
Decommissioning a nuclear plant is a 15 - 30 year process. If you don't safely shutdown the reactor and manage the spend fuel, you end up with a radioactive hellscape. I'm sorry, but thems the facts.
Humans are animals, and we act like animals. Just like any other species. There are very few nations that have zero population growth...the vast majority are either expanding or contracting. I like kurzgesagt, too, but by your own definition (and theirs), they are extremely simplified explanations of complex topics.
The only evidence I have that economic collapse leads to war is all of human history, but here's some research in that as well. https://www.insidescience.org/news/how-famines-and-epidemics-trigger-wars.
The original post was soliciting opinions about what we should do. Yours was "nothing", mine was "make it as painless as possible." Those are both opinions, and opinions are what was asked for. I based mine on scientific literature, and you based yours on some YouTube videos.
I hope you're as young as you're acting and you've still got time to grow up...otherwise you're gonna end up lonely or burying yourself in echo chambers because you can't handle discussions that don't validate your gut reaction.

How about managing the fucking economy better
I thought you wanted to avoid managing the process?

Upvoted for Kurtzgesagt. De-upvoted for the condescending tone of the comment.
