I'm curious what your viewpoint is here. Is human extinction a bad thing? And if not, do you care if it's your own descendants thriving, versus the descendants of an immigrant?

My viewpoint is that a population collapse is very bad for society, can already see it beginning to happen in places like South Korea. I don't see how I could possibly retire with any comfort if Noone is having kids and we also don't accept immigrants. Human extinction is a bad thing to happen for the people alive when it's happening, philosophically in the grand scheme of things I think life would go on. I don't plan on having descendants at all and I am against the current mass deportations, especially the way it is currently being carried out.

The retirement problem isn't solvable the way it is presented right now because in most countries it requires 2-5 working people per retiree to work properly, which implies infinite growth, it has to die at some point, the earliest will be the easiest to handle
