Nonsense. The number of people resulting from aggregate individual choices about reproduction is, by definition, neither "too many" nor "too few".

Unless you reject the principle of individualism, of course, in which case you might be more at home elsewhere.

Lucifer was the first rugged individualist ;-)

There’s a difference between freedom and licentiousness. Man has certain obligations, the first of which was outlined in the first commandment in scripture, “Be fruitful and multiply.” That command has never been rescinded. For good reason.

10,000 lemmings can't be wrong, hmmm?

You can worship at the idol of individualism all you want, but it won't change the mathematical fact that stable population numbers require an average of 2.1-2.2 children per woman.

Sustained fertility rates below that amount to a culture or nation voting for its own suicide.
