What I really meant is people will have kids regardless of the situation because for some people it’s not something they think about. Even when the bubonic plague was wiping out everyone people still had children. There’s always going to be some people who either have more optimism or just don’t think about it at all.
i have some sense that with higher child mortality back in the day they wouldn’t have thought about it the same way. there’s an inevitability to sickness when you haven’t invented germ theory of disease, but now we ought to know better and the capitalist covid response was what it was.

Fair enough, sorry if that came across strong. I definitely get your point.
Not thinking about it at all makes the most sense to me.
The ignorance to the world around them, or the ignorance to how babies are made. Fuck, or both…
