Doesn't large human populations support higher technologies, because more people are required to support those technologies. Isn't birth control a bad idea for science?
highly developed in their IQ levels with the aid of genetic engineering.
more effective education + higher quality of life = more scientists = more science.
Or at least, that's how I see it.
What support do you have for saying that greater use of birth control and zero population growth is accompanied by higher standards of living, higher educational levels and more science?
That's the pattern in western nations. When education and standards of living increase, the birth rate slows. This is probably due to greater female empowerment and access to medical care. As a result, families invest more in each individual child.
Fewer people= more resources available for each one.
Sammy, they do pursue their own lives to a greater degree and have children later in life, but when they do, they invest more in each child.
Ok, thanks
I am considering adoption, so I'm wondering about these issues. You know, career choices vs children.
