People choosing not to have kids because they think the world sucks should cause the population to evolve to be more cheery and optimistic. Just wait 100 generations or so and the whinging should stop.
@tlbtlbtlb Don’t need anywhere close to 100 generations. This will happen to surprising extent in 10
@tlbtlbtlb Pretty sure that did happen when humans adopted farming. Thermostatic.

@tlbtlbtlb Perfect timing for my latest quote from Superabundance: “Malthus’s family line died out because his children failed to procreate.” If that isn’t poetic justice I don’t know what is! Pro natalism people, pro human flourishing! 📈
