    the universe we live in is no “finite system”

    They are free to show us the oxygen they harvested from Pluto any time they feel like it.

    growth has made the overall society richer in material wealth

    Your proof for this?

    You have any proof for that statement?

    For crying out loud, Clyde… you need a bunch of science nerds to tell you something this obvious? Fine.

      Lol, very first sentence in that source:

      Three mechanisms influence the fertility decision of educated women: (1) the relatively higher incomes and thus higher income forgone due to childbearing leads them to want fewer children. […]

        I swear… it’s moments like these that it really seems like liberal brain-rot is even more debilitating than the fascist variety.

        Which part of…

        You know we could just achieve that easily by giving women reproductive rights, don’t you? As in… no capitalism required at all?

        didin’t you understand the first time around?

          Because you were replying to this statement by OP:

          and as societies get richer in material wealth they produce fewer children and have the luxury to pay attention to things like the environment and their impact on it.

          In short your source doesn’t support your claim, but it does story OP’s claim

            How deep does one’s head have to be up one’s own arrse to believe that this…

            and as societies get richer in material wealth they produce fewer children and have the luxury to pay attention to things like the environment and their impact on it.

            …requires capitalism?
