    Responsible people not having kids while careless people do. How many generations before society implodes for that reason alone?

      You just described India’s current population growth. The responsible rich and middle class couples are living a good life without kids while the illegal immigrants and the people who can’t afford are having 4-5 kids

      And the politicians (both from the left and right wing) love the dumb and uneducated.

      giving birth to “not let them have it” sounds a lot like “owning the libs”

      self-harming behaviour because everything is made into a competition.

        My comment was meant more as a question about the development than an appeal. Even if responsibility is an inheritable trait, society could be better off e.g. if people worry less.
