Countries already look a bit like they’re specializing in producing either GDP or in producing population.
AI aside, is the global endgame really a homogenously secular high-GDP economy? Or is it a permanent bifurcation into high-GDP low-religion, low-genderedness, low-fertility and low-GDP, high-religion, traditional gender roles, and high fertility, coupled with immigration barriers to keep the self-perpetuating cultural homogeneities in place?
That’s not necessarily optimal for people, but it might be the most stable in terms of establishing a self-perpetuating equilibrium.
Is this just an extension of partisan sorting on a global scale?
I don’t think there’s really much association with partisan sorting in this case. Most people espousing traditional gender roles aren’t clamoring to travel to India or such. It seems like partly a natural response to financial incentives created by cheap manufacturing and tech job offerings. Besides, ‘endgame’ in my opinion won’t last because at some point productivity will become too high and the work structure will collapse
