Missed the entire thread, Twitter newby that I am. There’s also the psychological need to see our society survive and our values passed down. Since only “western” societies are experiencing this effect, it’s likely they will not survive intact but will be subsumed by others

Yes, but this psychological need is neutral. If someone doesn't have it, they don't need to have kids for others who do.
