people having children are memed into thinking their genes will be around in 800 years, they won't unless you're having 20 more than your closest neighbor

either go full psycho and waste your money on drugs and getting your head frozen or do something useful with it, having kids is half entertainment half status symbol and nothing more

And HDI is negatively correlated with fertility so if you want to approach this rationally it's not at all clear-cut that this would increase the number of Africans in the long run.

Sorry to derail this thread, but can someone explain what the fuck "X is lindy" means? I see it on Twitter all the time.

Does it just mean "X is going to continue being around for a long time"? It seems to be used in a way that is a lot more nuanced than that…
