"I believe bringing children into a world of such uncertainty and possible collapse is not really that appealing either, whether or not that is realistic."

What a curious response. I have been hearing that argument for over 50 years, and, arguably, it has been used across the world since the first world war over 100 years ago, and (especially) since the first atomic bomb was dropped.

And yet it is essentially a feeble and frail argument based upon fear of the unknown.

Interesting to hear a techie say it.
