#2Capitalism is brutal. People spend time with people who provide the most value to their lives. And some people don't provide much value and they die alone.

Wow, people are brutal when they are given free will! Looks like this "free will" is a brutal, evil thing.

Yes, that's one of the central moral questions which Christian and other thinkers have wrestled with over the centuries.

That's not capitalism unless the people making emotional investments are doing so strictly for monetary gain, which doesn't appear to be supported by the article.

Lots of ways to connect with young people. Youth organizations can get you connected, without the household commitment (they all go home at the end of the game). Scouts, church groups, Big Brother/Sister, you name it.
So don't have to go into this whole hog; don't need anybody else involved to make it work; and no unsurmountable reason to delay?

It's the literal purpose of our existence. Why would you discourage that?

Be advised that it's not a foolproof plan, though. I suggest deciding based on the rewards of raising them, not on the future benefits, because you might end up disappointed.
