Humans are animals. We are not rational beings divorced from the instincts of all life. When people don't want to reproduce, it is the same as it is with other animals: there is something deeply wrong with the social or natural environment. Things like "housing is too expensive" or "the future is bleak" are rationalizations. You don't want to because our social environment in most of the western world is totally broken. Natural selection will solve the problem in enough time, as societies that lead to these conditions fall apart or die out.
- jofla_net 3y agoCouldn't put it more simply or succinctly if I tried. The topic is huge, yet the absence of further discussion by others is quite telling. I think natural selection is actually very much alive and well its just not in ways we've traditionally been taught to recognize. One of the stronger signals is that there is probably LESS, pressure to do or to live in any such fashion as there has ever been throughout all of human history. Basically nobody could care less. So in turn, only the already-inclined among us are opting to have children.
