Until quite suddenly we don’t. There’s going to be a massive population plunge in about 20 years with a large aging population and nobody to help fill the gap behind them. Granted, I think that’s where AI and robotics can probably help which is what Japan seems to be banking on.
I am looking forward to the massive population plunge… as is the rest of the earth. Hopefully, with less humans we can have better social programs and more earth friendly usage of resources.
This is false. Having kids is very important. The earth can sustainably support billions more. That is, if a certain percentage of people did not hoard all the wealth and resources.
Having kids in order to support society is basically treating children as a resource. Why don’t we fix up society a bit so we can start having children brought into society as people? Right now kids are basically just cogs in a machine.
it’s time for this fad to stop. we don’t need anymore kids. we’ve got more than enough people already.

You’re looking forward to unprecedented mass suffering for the human race resulting in a decimated population? 😬
Only true in specific countries though right? Globally doesn’t seem like a plunge is likely.

We don’t need more people. We now have the ability to automatize a vast majority of infrastructure.
This is a big part of the problem, and unfortunately it’s never going to change.
