    The elite want people to have children because people with children have something they could lose that isn’t theirs to sacrifice. It makes them easier to control.

      Hmm… I think it’s for a different reason.

      Birthrates are down because (amongst other things) it’s financially impossible to have a family in this time.

      However, as much as these tech billionaires invest into AI, they still need grunt workers to keep society running. So eventually these billionaires will lose value because society doesn’t have workers.

        Billionaires can’t look 20 years into the future when the babies would grow up to be workers. If they could, they’d see that destroying the environment is going to cost way more in the future than it would to just fuck it less now.
