Abortion and Population

[Rev. Rye]

Having smaller families doesn't make humans obsolete unless if falls below replacement rate globally for generations. Our robot overlords are much more likely to render us obsolete.

Why would it even need to get to that point? That's like saying, "well, my kitchen is on fire, but I won't do anything about it until the whole house is on fire". And in this context, "having smaller families" just means, having families without children.

Strange, considering that when I wrote about it yesterday, when I mentioned "Smaller families," it wasn't just "no children." You could still have children with smaller families. There'd just be fewer kids (I didn't have a cutoff threshold in mind, but thinking about that, I guess three would have been a good maximum for what constitutes a "smaller family.")
