>The limiting factor to reproduction in modern society is people's psychology.
Eh, the limiting factor is our extreme level of development
which means creating a viable competitive human is super expensive. 120 years ago if you had kids they could start working around the farm at age 6 and have proper job at 12 and by 18 if halfway smart could take upsupervisory roles.
Now you need to train them for at least 21 years to be competitive and it is intense training.
No one is going to want to raise a kid who is going to have a worse life then you did, so if you have kids you are committing to a huge program.
Btw it is good thing we have extreme levels of technical,social and political development and immigration and birthrates are an absolute meme. We need to be selecting for generalized intelligence
