The "good news" (though I don't think it's good) is that an average person is having zero children.
I suspect a generation out, we will be super grateful for those who had many, not those who had none.
Or more like, we'll probably completely forget about those who had none - as history has with those who've made that decision in the past.

Malthusian hysteria seems impervious to reason. > I suspect a generation out, we will be super grateful for those who had many, not those who had none. By definition! An understatement. Exactly zero members of the future population will be descendants of those who had no children, and it is difficult to imagine anyone of sound mind shaking his fist at his ancestors for having bred.
