Bryan Caplan - Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids - 2010 Forsyth Lecture 

Great talk. His kids are gonna be drinking a lot of water.

Guess all the comment section is all anti parenting

Even with shaving off the extras and sizing down the additional load. The basics of just raising a kid by standard of “what a adoption agency would qualify as okay” is still extremely expensive in today’s economy for one child yet alone more. The basics are basically a lot. More than two children seems unattainable on a average salary but for basics - I currently have one and feel the slight turmoil is a lot more than he is projecting. Kids are a lot more work than the doe eyed parent initially realises- I don’t think having more than one lightens the load of emotional and mental stress.

I’m at 37:00 and still haven’t heard any good reason to have children lol

Poster child for why not have any kids !

Starts with anecdotes, jumps to pop science. Why do those people exist in academia?
