Oh my fucking god
It would also finally generate demand for human beings
We still have that! We never lost that! People still want kids! And they want them because they want kids not some lofty interstellar jerk off session.

Author telling on themselves here. Just because nobody wants to be around them and their shitty idea doesn't mean society is collapsing.

Just Jesus fucking christ what a stupid fucking thing to think up let alone share
generate demand for human beings
Fucking go call your mother and just apologize. You don't have to explain why. But we both know it's the right course of action.

Humans expand their population aka have more children when resources aka material conditions allow for it/make it beneficial. If people are not having enough kids then it means it is not beneficial for them to do so/they can not afford it (huh who could have guessed).
But apparently this scientific approach comes in contrast to the consistent pearl clutching over human reproduction endorsed by l*bs
been working on some speculative fiction lately and my near future scenario is basically "Earth does world socialist government, material conditions improve for all over a generation, huge baby boom as people have hope again".
then the capitalists that fled into space to scrape by try to lure off some of that boomer generation with promises of adventure and fun (more like indentured servitude, being worked to death, and radiation poisoning). colonies come into being, followed by worker revolutions, rinse and repeat
seems like the only viable way for interstellar colonization to even happen
If we think about the world today, and we extrapolate that to the stars, it's gonna be an endless cycle of space colonies fighting back for independence from a US dominated Earth. The same model of global south exploitation by the global north, but this time from the Earth siphoning off from the moons and planets abroad. It would make the concept of the imperial core and the periphery literal, orbital, as a Ptolemaic model of imperialism.
Its a unique story. But I don’t think its impossible for a socialist government to explore and set bases outside earth. There were a lot of plans by the soviets for that (like beaming down energy from orbital solar collectors)
Oh they do just later after Earth's climate situation is stabilized. They make moves into space initially for pure exploration but also to counter the growing capitalist space colonies and prevent them from controlling high orbital, Earth-Moon system, and the inner planets.
and they allow revolutionary youth to join up with the space capitalists with the deliberate intent of fomenting revolution and organizing.
i really need to get to writing this just need more time outlining and read some more sci-fi to get my writing skills back.
South Korea, despite being small, outproduces the USA
Gee, I wonder why...

Who's consuming what they're producing?
Who the fuck is consuming what they're producing?
Deeply, deeply unserious people
