It's all just a distraction. Tell me, why are you freaking out about pop growth in Africa (it's sure not happening *here*!) when the world's consumption capitals can't find the political will to build next-gen nuclear plants or realize the next obvious agricultural revolution?

I'm not freaking out about pop growth in the g.s. I'm "freaking out" about people like you and the Quillette author pretending as if it's antithetical to human flourishing to want to not have kids. And i'm obviously worried about the other stuff you mention, too.

If you don't want kids, don't have kids. Just don't let your own self-righteousness skew your perspective on this stuff. Anti-natalist environmentalism is still a largely anti-tech movement & unless it changes gear it'll do more harm than good.

Only idiots are anti-tech, and painting everyone that recognizes that our planet can't support present western lifestyles multiplied by ten billion with that brush is absurd

i would rather clean my planet and leave its future inhabitants with enough arable land and oxygen to continue existing instead of continuing to sprint forward into The Repugnant Conclusion, but OK

Are you sure? Because it sure seems like you're enjoying carrying that flag a lot more than planting it anywhere.

Hope you recognize that if the burgeoning green movement continues to be successful in preventing tech solutions, it won't matter whether they have any significant impact on western fertility trends. That'll do harm enough to render it moot. Anti-natalism is a distraction.
