Anti-natalists are the enemy of mankind.

None of the species that have gone extinct (which are over 90% of all species that ever existed) reduced their rates of reproduction voluntarily.
They'll breed themselves out, so it should work itself out over the long term.
A half billion years have passed since the invention of sex and they're still showing up. How long term are we talking?
I'm sure there were anti-natalist groups in the thousands of years of human history but well they weren't so numerous a 100 years ago, and they probably won't be so numerous a couple of hundred years from now either.

Would you elaborate on your thought? Why questioning the demography is “enemy of mankind”? Is there other subjects/sciences we should avoid completely to be friends with mankind?
