    Plus climate change and ecological collapse have a good chance of killing hundreds of millions, potentially billions if multiple feedback loops compound — not to mention fascism and world/resource wars — so why would you risk subjecting your children to a potential depression era famine and austerity, becoming canon fodder, or subjected to big brother grade authoritarianism?

    Also there’s a reasonable chance automation could replace a majority of the human workforce in the next 50-100 years, so why risk your kids living a life of destitution, at best, otherwise dying at the hands of bourgeoisie killbots?
