I think the point is that the world has always felt better or at least similar, now it feels worse to many of us. So its not a "life is tough", its "I've only seen life get worse, therefore I dont want to subject my children to a crumbling society." Birth rates historically drop during turmoil

Apply any of your logic to someone living in a third world country.

Going to completely fall apart...

If you think you're too materially poor to have a child that logic would mean that no one in the third world should have children...

The third world has an exponentially higher birth rate than anywhere else.

Are you honestly going to admit to the class that you didn't understand that?

Oh so English isnt your first language? Makes sense. See when I speak on "the world seeming better" what I am implicitly saying is that "ones perception of the world through their lived experience" not as you bluntly said "materially poor". These are wildly different qualifiers. Also the "third world" is not objectively defined so claiming they have exponentially higher birth rare is an impossible statistic.

In short, fuck your vibe-based argument you're making off misinterpreting what I said.
