Not only that, but we're simultaneously talking about how we're adding a force multiplier to labor with the advent and improvement of AI.

We're literally in the process of decoupling social progress and productivity from reliance on population, and juggling the impending social burden that's going to create if jobs decrease accordingly, yet we should be worried we're not popping out kids to maintain population growth?

Why the fuck should we create larger generations of unemployable humans for the future we're building?

Especially when having a kid is one of the worst possible actions you could take regarding environmental impact, and the people already alive are facing quite serious environmental consequences for such impacts.
