The racists are foaming as they see their "ubermensch" white race refuse to have kids while so called sand people are "breeding like cockroaches" (which is a lie, just look at the statistics).

Yes, but they do it in order to fill up a hole in their lives, to have a "greater purpose", give their lives meaning. Ultimately all we do is to satisfy our desires...and the push towards caring for kids is one of the biologically hardwired desires we evolved having, the reason we do it is not really a lack of ego. Having a family is something people want for themselves, for their own happiness.

I believe it's literally impossible for a person to not be egoistic without going crazy and/or offing oneself. Even christians who preach about self sacrifice and generosity only do it pushed by the promise of a better afterlife and their own self-interest of wanting to avoid hell and/or being closer to their god.

I'm not sure if it's specifically knowing weather or not reproduction is the only goal in life but I do agree it's an education issue. I'm arguing that It's not about being poor it's about education.

That is a good point.

I mean it is a no brainer that if people are given a significant break from work (not just maternity/paternity leave for a few months or even a couple of years), and have the ability for there parents to help look after there children people would be more inclined to have kids.

What about developing socialist nations? Since there isn't the same level of exploitation are there birth rates lower?

Edit: it's 2.08 in Venezuela, 1.45 in cuba, 1.91 in vietnam, 2.24 in laos. So can confirm socialist countries have a much more moderate birth rate when compared to the rest of the developing world, as well as a higher birth rate compared to most of the developed world.
