Assuming you could maintain a world population of around 2.1 - 2.4 and keep the world population dead steady, at what population number would you like that to be?
I'm sure technological advances might make it so that more efficient use of crops and water *could* support a considerably larger population in the future, but I'm talking about with today's technology, what's your ideal human population size for earth?
I'm wondering if anybody here has had more kids than they otherwise want, out of a sense of duty to raise TFR.
I ask because I see on this sub sometimes the suggestion that those who could have kids but choose not to because they don't want to are eschewing their responsibility, but I've never seen anybody on this sub say they personally have had kids they didn't otherwise want in order to help TFR.
Of the folks here that do have kids, I've yet to see anyone who has done so because they felt they should, as opposed to because they already wanted them anyway.
( Note - I'm absolutely not suggesting the above are the opinions of all or even most on this sub, but there are often comments in various threads of "you ought to / you're being selfish if you could but don't" ).
