Wouldn't that incentivization lead to sterilization on class lines pretty much 100% of the time?
Unfortunately, yes.

moving from fossil fuels to nuclear power
Yes. It’s not pretty or desirable but it’s 100% aligned with reality.

Well, not really because death and declining health are inevitable. But taken in terms of turning otherwise healthy bodies into diseased bodies then yes it’s a similar line of reasoning.

Do you have a top three favorite operas?

I dont actually, havent had the pleasure of exploring it. I used to work with an amateur singer, and I went to see his performance at his church, which is what turned me onto it. I just think it sounds beautiful.

Oh wow our ignorance makes our planet look special. Praise jesus.

I don't want kids but making that decision for others is an extreme level of authoritarianism
