I think HN User reader500's material point is that while you and I may believe that poor people procreating is "reckless and socially destructive behavior", Mother Nature does not. She's going to go to great lengths to ensure that poor people have a desire to procreate that is, at once, urgent and overpowering. She really doesn't care about anything other than getting the genes propagated. (Basically, in human terms, she just wants more kids. Nothing else matters to Mother Nature.) She's also going to go to great lengths to instill the same urge in the wealthy, and everyone in between for that matter. She really does just want the genes propagated. The rest she doesn't care about. Ideology, money, whether or not one human has any power over another, social morés, and any other human construct... none of it matters to her.
