Teacher's Statement on Childlessness Sparks Reactions: 'Most Comfortable to Live Without Children!'

Astronomer and educator Korado Korlević has ignited a debate with his assertion that choosing not to have children is the "most comfortable" way to live. Speaking on the popular Croatian Television (HRT) program "Nedjeljom u 2" (Sundays at 2), Korlević expressed concern over declining birth rates, warning of a potential global population collapse.

Korlević, known for his insightful commentary on global issues, suggested that current generations are avoiding the challenges of parenthood. He elaborated, "The most comfortable way to live is to have no children! You can travel, do as you please. You can play video games all day without anyone nagging or bothering you." He projected that without major conflicts, the world population could fall to 2 billion by the end of this century, indicating a potential extinction of Homo Sapiens driven by internal factors rather than external threats.

Within about 50 years, the population decline on Earth begins. If everything goes as badly as possible and without wars, we are at 2 billion by the end of this century. Homo Sapiens has reached the limit where we are starting to go extinct, and no one is killing us from the outside.
