Oh I see . I totally misunderstood you. That's awesome dude!

Yeah but its not "awesome", it's tragic and desperate. 

I'm having 40-400 children and pushing them all to start incubating by age 16, engineering a spiralling domino of rabid human genesis 

I'm an extrovert at heart anyway, I dont mind a big mansion with 400 family members

You all need to start having 5+ children NOW and save me from becoming this autistic baby batman

At the heart of it I think there needs to be some form of incentive to have kids. Whether an external incentive structure is good solution is up for debate. It just so happens external incentive structures are usually the most effective at facilitating behaviour change.

Yes, but it needs to be more structural than just money. Just money is compensating for structural disincentives.
