The minds of people are besieged with a multifaceted assault on the very fabric of life - the family unit. I believe we need all need to take heed of the current biopsychosocial engineering at work and navigate through it with great caution. Perhaps the future of humanity depends on it?
Most of my friends don’t have kids, but I know a few relatives in their 70s who never had children and their lonely lives terrified me. If that’s what we’re in store for, well, I hope VR or w/e is good enough to keep everyone occupied.
Whoever believes in Overpopulation has never been on an airplane. Some cities might be overpopulated but the World as a whole is not. We have so many resources because God created the Earth to give us everything that we need and more. Sure there is a lot of waste, pollution and uneven distribution of resources, but that's a different topic. It's not because the Earth is "overpopulated". We need better representatives that are not working for Big Pharma, WHO, WEF, etc.
The spirit of Lack and Fear is a lie from the devil. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy" and that's why the attack on children from the moment they enter the womb. Second part of that verse is "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full", and that is God's plan for us on Earth. The sooner people realize this, the better Earth we will have collectively.
One thing to consider: many people can’t afford to raise mental and physically healthy and well-adjusted children.
For the last several years, I’ve been able to barely make ends meet as a single person, with roommates, by working multiple jobs, and even then, I’ve never earned more than $40,000 in a year.
If I had a kid, I’d be forced to basically be an absentee parent, which would only contribute to the epidemic of first-world fatherlessness. It would be even worse if I had three kids.
Even worse, I earn more than a lot of people I know. I’m earning $16 / hour, but I know adults who are earning $12 / hour.
Between economic pressure and declining desire to reproduce, I think depopulation is pretty much inevitable and that tech, AI, and robotics will HAVE to fill in the gap (if, in fact, population decline is as much of a problem as Musk makes it out to be).
Having more children is likely to create more problems for the working class than it will solve -- especially over the next 20 years.

Great article. Really enjoying your work, Isaiah.
