      Not my problem.

      No amount of weaseling, manipulation, what-ifs, or post-hoc rationalizations change the fact that someone else’s decision whether or not to reproduce is not yours.

                Yes, it would be crazy if civilizations always fell due to collapsing because the people, like myself, deciding it’s not worth producing children into this hell-world.
