This is in regard to how to improve the section on the "youth bulge" hypothesis. This section has at least one sentence that implies causation, but causation does not follow from correlation. As currently written, this passage offers a rather one-dimensional view of a phenomenon; but that arguably does a disservice to a topic of this complexity. Should it include at least some counterpoints concerning the impact of socioeconomic conditions, rather than simply assigning causation to a population 'bulge'? Painting with broad strokes seems to compromise the goal of informing a reader. Hopefully someone with more expertise can improve/ add nuance to this section? 152.3.43.45 (talk) 19:18, 28 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Someone slipped into the lead the claim that Chinese and Indian civilizations have never experienced collapse, while the article goes on to cite examples of total civilization collapse in China and India. Perhaps a statement to be revisited or qualified? Wannabe rockstar (talk) 00:39, 30 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
