Edit: because a few comments make me worry that some are taking this seriously - this meme is a play on the type of hopeless dating posts you might find in less healthy corners of the internet. The joke is a suggestion that the real problem is that one man in the image has some sort of arrow-attracting superpower.

      Because men can only get one woman pregnant, as the Bible told me.

        good point but I imagined this one guy does not impregnate all of these women but it is of course possible to go full Elon Musk if he thinks he is destined to save humanity

      Interesting thing to say, considering population collapse is a huge concern for most countries right now.

        It’s not really. Worldwide population is still growing. Countries which are simultaneously highly developed and not incentivizing child birth have low birth rates.

          Countries which are simultaneously highly developed and not incentivizing child birth have low birth rates.

          That is literally the entirety of the developed world. China as well is/will be now experiencing a rapid population decline as its birth rate drops drastically. The only developed countries with anything close to a sustainable population growth are those that have a lot of immigration, but that isn’t a viable fix forever (at some point the countries that are sources of immigrants will become developed themselves and have the same problems), and typically only first generation immigrants have more children than natives.
