I feel like you’re not reading this in good faith, or perhaps you just skimmed it (re: “I don’t plan to engage deeply with this post”).
To your concerns: 1. *Genetic determinism:* We’re simply pointing out traits are heritable and humanity benefits from a future in which a diverse array of traits exists. 2. *Homophobia:* We think a future humanity that supports LGBT rights is more prosocial and a hard landing on demographic collapse isn’t likely to produce a society that supports LGBT rights. 3. *Ethnonationalism:* We are arguing about the importance of demographic collapse as a cause area in the hopes that humanity’s long-term future enjoys a diverse array of ethnicities, cultures, races, mindsets, lifestyles, etc. Is the issue that you do not recognize this or that you don’t share that hope for the future?
We are not genetic determinists. We also don’t ignore that heritable traits can have influence. We think the evidence speaks for itself with regard to the amplitude of the effects on society.
We aren’t working to ensure “the right” people have kids; we’re working to ensure that cultures, ethnicities, etc. don’t go extinct. We want to preserve plurality and diversity. If concerted action is not taken, we’re positioned to lose a TON of diversity.
