I mean, the way I read it is “not a day goes by on which I am not regretting doing this”. So, every day you are regretting it 🤔

So you regret it every day? GOS is amazing in my opinion. What’s your gripe with it?

Because the population decline is mostly a western societal phenomenon induced by the late stage capitalism we are suffering from, and our planet dying from our carelessness. Other countries, especially poorer ones, are still happily making babies. So “population decline” effectively means the decline of western populations, and I can see how people (including me) might have an issue with that.

If all populations would shrink proportionally the same it would be a lot less contentious.
