    Requiring permission to have children is too close to eugenics, for me to agree to that. I get the point, sure. But it will inevitably turn into something where only certain people with “desirable” traits will be allowed/forced to breed with each other. Humanity’s history does not make me hopeful that this’ll work out fine.

      Oh i agree of course, but i would hope a followup culture does not make the same mistakes we do, such as forming nations and ethnic groups. With such a restricted number of people there would be plenty of resources and space for everyone, and i would hope they could avoid our modern day pitfalls.
