I don't think it is a comment on the world; but it is a comment on the West, which seems without hope.
Most of Western Europe has already fallen into the "death spiral," with population replacement rates below 1.3 children per fertile female. Mathematically speaking, there is no way for a society to reverse its decline once that threshold is crossed.
