I have many smart, empathetic friends in tech who are not having kids. Meanwhile my redneck neighbor has 5.

It seems to me that all of the conscientious people who look out for the greater good and environment, are leaving the gene pool. This feels like a problem for the future.

Are you somehow superior to your neighbour? Do you have evidence that your neighbour doesn’t care about ‘the greater good’?

Is there even a universally accepted definition for ‘the greater good’?

I’ll entertain that thought - How is that a problem?
