Hi Lew,
I read Tom Woods’ article on the drop in birth rates with interest. I’ve followed this demographic trend online for years. Some of my friends, like me, believe the human race will go extinct when a baby’s cry is never heard.
Kevin Dolan is an optimist. He has six kids. Like Tom Woods, who has five daughters, or is it six? These two men want the human race to reproduce so that their own children can have thriving lives.
That is understandable. But there are a lot of boomers like me. I have a son and daughter now in their late forties. They have never been married, no kids, no cars, no house. My daughter told me last month, “You’d have to be crazy to have a kid today.”
So, as the man said, “I have no skin in the game.” My children have no skin in the game. Whether the human race survives or not makes no difference to my gene pool. It’s a dead end. And yet, many of the “leaders” in Europe and the world have no children. Why would humans want them as leaders? They have no skin in the game of human survival.
The human race is always only 40 years away from extinction. No kids. No humans.
