I was referring to resources as a whole. Not just sexual selection. Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread before I wrote all that. Whoops.
Yes, I agree with you. 🤷♂️ But, oh well. This isn't the first time this has happened throughout history. The Silent and Boomer generations were able to afford taking care of larger families due to lower living costs, then as time went on and as living costs increased at a significantly faster rate than wages and salaries, fewer and fewer people were able to afford having a family. No one said evolution was a merciful process.

We're all suffering from normalcy bias, I suppose. We look back 50 years and assume that's how things have always been.
Could be the case. That's what complacency gets you. 🤷♂️
Here's a funny story. The short version, that is. I had a discussion with this 19 year-old kid not too long about what he wants to do when he gets older and his response was "I just want to help people." No doubt a nice sentiment, but then I said towards the end of our convo "That's nice. But, if you don't have the capacity to care for your own well-being, how do you expect to care for the well-being of others?", and that kinda lost him a bit. What I mean by this is that the priorities of the newer generations seem a bit different in comparison to those of previous generations. Of course, I don't mean for this to sound like a generalization in any way. A big portion of them seem a bit lost, is all.
