A new robotic lab that makes human embryos using AI is now responsible for 19 babies. Is it better at IVF than humans are? bloomberg.com/news/features/…
NEW TODAY: There’s no point of a multiplanetary future if there are no people left to populate it The U.S. fertility rate sits at an anemic 1.79, far below the required level to replace our population. The global rate is not much better. This means we’re watching civilization compound into oblivion through the powerful force of exponential decline. Even in countries with state-funded IVF programs, policy and technology have had little effect, because depopulation isn’t something you can fix with tax subsidies and robots. It stems from a fundamental devaluation of family life in post-industrial economies. Once, having children was how you joined the world. Today — with help from parenthood’s total absence from narratives that celebrate professional ambition, romantic conquest, and lone-wolf heroism — it’s framed as opting out of it. Freedom is childlessness. Kids are a burden. DINK life (Double Income, No Kids) is not only accepted but vaunted like an achievement. In a culture addicted to self-optimization, the case against children practically writes itself. Some people have deeply personal reasons not to have children. As for the rest of us, especially the self-proclaimed futurists who are resourced and capable? Wake up to the programming. Have kids now. Don’t wait for the perfect apartment with a nursery. Don’t wait until you can afford a night nurse, like I did, cutting into the window of opportunity to have another, and another. Don’t wait for your startup to exit, or to make partner, or to hit some phantom “ready” (readiness is just control, repackaged). Stop shitposting. Stop procrastinating. You need less money, space, and time than you think. Let it be messy. Let it be visible. Choose this fundamentally creative act, a reason for living that breaks you open and remakes you. The future of humanity — whether on Earth, Mars, or beyond — depends on it. (No pressure.) (Link to the full piece is threaded.) 👇
