    I don’t think this is good or bad. If it’s voluntary, fine. We’re not in some Children of Men style crisis just because people are having fewer kids, the human race will survive for a long time at 1.7 kids per woman or whatever, and rates will not be the same in 500 years for all sorts of reasons.

    The concern is that it’s something like microplastics or birth control washing into waterways causing lesser fertility, but if it’s something like that we can focus on fixing that specifically and rates will go back up.
