That's an interesting point that I haven't considered. It might be true, but alternatively, I also see a shift towards a "Brave New World" kind of approach to reproduction, which is entirely separated from relationships.

- maxglute 2y agoAKA the default in many cultures throughout human history. Many unions are politically, economically expedient. People marry, pool resources, have kids. Physically/emotionally cheat on each other on the side (well mostly the men), and it was understood you marry+have kids for the family, not yourself. Question is how societies can incentivize starting families for societies and not one self. There's been many failed fertility programs.
