    with 3 kids at 31 you would most likely be the outlier in many countries. all the rest you said resonates - so many people do not want to have kids at all anymore, and it’s not difficult to understand why (socioeconomic uncertainty, environ

    Thanks for posting this as it seems very interesting. Did you go through the whole book/course? the preface claims that “You don’t need to know calculus or linear algebra. You don’t need any prior knowledge of statistics”. I am always
