Any fool can see that we are massively overpopulated, 3,000 times more numerous than were our ancestral Hunter-Gatherer clans/bands just a few thousand years ago, the last members of our species to live in an ecologically sustainable manner worldwide. The ever greedy corporate/Wall St. overlords, like Elon Musk, keep driving the pro-growth/pro-natal narrative in order to force women to bear unneeded/unwanted clones (37% of US pregnancies are "unintentional"--CDC) in order to provide an oversupply of laborers competing for ever more limited job opportunities, and our disastrous "consumer culture" devouring unsustainable natural resources while producing worldwide pollution. We are in a full bore state of existential climate collapse, so my message to those prospective wannabe parents is this: do you really want to bring another innocent child into this dying world to live an increasingly miserable life?
