This is a good article. For your growth curves, some people don't see to understand the difference between velocity and acceleration. I also appreciate that you try to be an empiricist. As for quoting articles from Scientific American, indeed, it isn't the 80s any longer (when Scientific American was good). Today SA is replete with political nonsense, so seeing a dumb article such as the one you describe, is today, par for the course.

Loved this! But what are the reasons why wealthy millennials and Gen Z opting out of parenthood? Most of my gen z friends are saying they're afraid of climate change, they think we are overpopulated & there are not much opportunities for kids in the future. Also Anti-natalism is on the rise in gen Z. They think having children is a burden. What role does the new cultural movements play when it comes to Anti-Natalism?
