> Yet I am immensely grateful that my ancestors chose to build homes and marry and have children I think this premise is questionable. I double that choice had much to do with it, for most of our ancestors. In particular a large fraction of children (majority?) born were not born out the free choice of the parents, but rather as a result of accident, social pressure/expectation, economic necessity etc. Given a free choice, the same uncertain and/or bleak future produces the rational outcome that it does not seem prudent to have children. |
