i think to maintain the population, a couple needs to have to have 2.4 kids or something. there's no way im doing that it sounds like it sucks. fuck the future of humanity I don't give a shit
Humanity will be better off with a lower population.
The freak out around less people is the theory of dependence on labor replacement.
But the variables of that equation are about to change dramatically as a result of tech advancements.
Within a generation, it won't matter if there's billions less people because there will be billions more virtual laborers to offset the decrease.
Rich people are freaking out about birth rates for increasingly obsolete reasons.
I'm done after 2. I can't afford more. I can barely afford this,and I have a pretty good job.
I'm still eligible for financial aid at the hospital.
Maintaining the population shouldn't be the goal. Humans are a plague and there's already too many of us.
The population of the world has fucking TRIPLED since ww2. We're rats
Thanks for letting us all know you're opinions on the future are highly sus.
Lol
isn't Jesus wonderful?
