Mmmmm, if humanity doesn't get babies for say 40 years in a row, we'd be extinct

If humanity wouldn't have babies for say Even 5 years, it would have enormous disastrous consequences for almost all of us

It's actually really important for all of us (even for the ultra rich, but also the ultra poor) that people have enough babies. China knows what I'm talking about, they're heading for a huge population crash

Same for south Korea, same for Germany

    Countries have been able absorb much lower worker participation rates than developed countries have today. It's just that in the past, those resources were devoted to a large number of children rather than a large number of retirees. But dependents are dependents.
