I share your thoughts on the pressing matter of declining global birth rates and the multifaceted challenges it presents. One aspect that I believe warrants consideration is a shift in the way we perceive the decision to have children. While financial concerns undeniably play a substantial role in this decline, altering our perspective on the value and rewards of parenthood could potentially influence this trend.
There's a compelling argument to be made about the incredible returns on investment that parenting can offer. Rather than focusing solely on the monetary costs, emphasizing the intangible benefits and immeasurable joy that raising a child can bring might encourage prospective parents to reconsider their choices. The profound happiness, personal growth, and sense of purpose that parenthood provides are aspects that financial incentives don't capture, and they can be life-enriching in ways that few other experiences can match.
Of course the financial burden of children can be hard to ignore but promoting a balanced narrative that highlights both the challenges and the immense rewards of parenthood can potentially influence couples' decisions. It's a reminder that the decision to have children should be viewed as an incredibly low time preference investment that not only supports future generations but also supports one's own fulfillment and happiness.
By reframing the discourse surrounding parenthood, I'm hopeful we can start to address the decline in birth rates. Globalist depopulation agendas are a recipe for disaster.
In my experience it seems this perspective has resonated with Bitcoiners more than it has my fiat minded friends. Which is bullish because I know for a fact I'm raising my daughter to understand why Bitcoin is money and fiat is credit (at best).
