I think there's a non-trivial chance (>1%) Homo sapiens will be extinct within a few centuries due to fairly banal x-risks (no AGIs or nukes or asteroids or permafrost methane catastrophes needed) Surprising part is that the thought doesn't bother me. At all.

Kids basically lower quality of life at higher material standards of living. With birth control, you have to go into increasing denial and oppression of women to maintain replacement rate. There are no incentives. None. The brain interrupts inclusive fitness dynamics

There's no "we"... it's the one area where even the worst kind of government coercion is unsustainable. The only way out of our evolutionary cul-de-sac is actually artificial wombs.
