The problem with “elites” breeding to “save the world” are as follows:
1) Who defines elite? Referencing the article, is “working at a think tank” really an indicator of being elite in any sense? I certainly don’t see getting a job at a think tank to be a particular indicator of skill nor do I find the outputs of think tanks to be very enlightening.
2) The problem isn’t that child-rearing is a cool fun thing that people choose not to do because they’re lazy, it’s that we as a society make being a parent suck.. Daytime childcare alone is expensive and complicated enough to turn many people off parenthood.
Well off people having children and then never shutting up about it does not solve any problems.
