One could even argue this has already begun – that people in many nations having less than the replacement level number of children represents competitive forces so strong that young people no longer have the surplus to be comfortable having enough kids.
That doesn’t sound right. Usually people in poorer countries have more kids, and poorer people in each country have more kids.
Agreed. Zvi’s proposition also simply doesn’t align with first-world people’s motivations, as far as I can tell. In short, first-worlders have a lot of other interesting ways that they can use their time.
Pinging about this particular point. (I’m about to go around pinging on comments in the Moral Mazes sequences that I don’t recall being particularly addressed)
