It's strange that other people will pay the burden of raising children that support your retirement.

You might think that your earning and savings supports your retirement, but no. It will be the next generation of workers that actualize it. Money is just unit of account, it by itself does not give you a retirement. Only working age, working people.

We've found ourselves in a very strange moral hazard. You spend your money to raise kids that will work to earn my savings in my retirement. Hopefully the state can afford your retirement too, but that's unlikely, because no one had children. Because this society sterilizes itself.

Seems like old age social safety nets are a net negative.

You'll feel different when you are old.

Developed countries will always have immigration as long as somewhere remains a totalitarian hole. But yes, economically there is significant moral hazard. It is dependent on somewhere being unpleasant enough for people to want to live in a completely different culture.

Immigrants are carrying the child rearing burden

Trust me, this feeling passes. You want to be prepared for when it does.

neverland doesn’t have a need for geriatric medicine.

you can have a ton of fun for a large portion of the rest of your life, and hopefully something happens such that later life care won’t be a concern. robot caretakers, clinical immortality, or otherwise.

this isn’t judgement, that may be the safer gamble. but it is a gamble.

Many people feel this way in their mid 20s, it often changes when you hit your early to mid 30s.

Most of us don't believe that it'll happen to us either. :)

Maybe, but between dating skills and allocation of spend I may otherwise be committed to the strategy whether I regret it or not.

A skill is something that you can train! We've all been there...
