Mmmmm, if humanity doesn’t get babies for say 40 years in a row, we’d be extinct
If humanity wouldn’t have babies for say Even 5 years, it would have enormous disastrous consequences for almost all of us
It’s actually really important for all of us (even for the ultra rich, but also the ultra poor) that people have enough babies. China knows what I’m talking about, they’re heading for a huge population crash
Countries have been able absorb much lower worker participation rates than developed countries have today. It’s just that in the past, those resources were devoted to a large number of children rather than a large number of retirees. But dependents are dependents.

Same for south Korea, same for Germany
Then lets go extinct, nothing of value would be loss.
Ok, you first.
And there’s the problem. All the evil geniuses and mad scientists want everyone else to go extinct, but not themselves.
I’m not replacing myself, so when I’m gone I’m gone. Checkmate
And now that’ll be the baby’s problem too.

Problems caused by declining birth rates are self-limiting.
Ideally, a modest rate of decline would allow for society to adapt.
