> Because the people who don't consider the long term ramifications of having children are still breeding, so the trajectory of humanity (compound even more by social safety nets) is now toward R style reproduction (aka "spray and pray").
Except that it's factually the opposite: numbers of children per family are declining, and that's especially the case in places with strong social safety nets because descendants are no longer the best form of old age insurance.
Humanity is becoming even more consistently k-strategist.
Nope, that's just apologist rhetoric for the "all people are equal" religion that underlies our modern disfunction. Look who is and who is not having children in those societies. It is not evenly distributed. Of course admitting that publicly violates so many BS sacred cows that I have no doubt that you were the person who downvoted my comment prior to "refuting" it.
