Everyone who doesn't want to have kids (as many as they can, within reason) is both missing a major point of life and complicit in creating a dysgenic society -- which, btw, should be included on the list of existential risks.

Could you explain how a dysgenic society could result in 90% of the human population dying by 2100? To me that seems widely overblown.

And just plain ridiculous - if it results in 90% of the human population dying, that's some serious evolutionary pressure right there.
