Ngl people that care about the number of babies being born are just weird

If they are like 30, they know the babies today will fund their retirement, and a lack of babies means they will be screwed. At least those people I can see a concern from a rational perspective.

However it's broadly either due to some religious fervor or tech bro narcissism (two two major pro nataliat voices, both super creepy in different ways that actually also hate each other)

It's bad for the economy in the long term. Fewer and fewer young people supporting more and more elderly people. We're about to see the effects of this "inverted pyramid" in several Asian countries.

Yeah people do have this religious devotion of maintaining the economy even after they're dead
