Or we could ditch the idea that everyone needs to work and allow that technology will allow for lives of leisure. You're not going to reduce the birth rate because people like fucking, and you're not going to remove this technology, so other solutions need to be found. We have them, we know that they are (UBI, hint hint), we just need politicians who are willing to implement them and that is where we are failing right now
Yes, I agree. That would be the best case.
However, I consider myself a little bit more realistic. Politics (especially in the US) will not allow for any form of socialism, be it UBI or something else, at least not in the near future. I believe that making fewer babies (contraception) is a strong handle that the people hold. Sure, people like fucking, but doesn't determine baby count.
