A paradox steeped in irony (or vice-versa). Many things for the common good are just rational. One of the things we can't know for sure is how we end out our years. The notion of a bottomless pit in the social landscape is not the type of social structure we want leave in place. The funny thing is this - we are all social engineers whether we like it or not. My youngest was considering a hypothetical a bout a Kid Planet and an Adult planet. She says the Kid Planet wouldn't survive (because kids don't know how to take care of themselves.) I told my youngest that Adult Planet couldn't survive either. Adults grow old and die. So while Kid Planet might die off because they don't know how to survive, the Adult Planet would die off because of an aging population. They couldn't have Kids to replace them because we've already said, there is that Kid Planet, and that the Kids would be zoomed off Adult Planet as soon as they were born. No, I tell her, you can't have separate Kid Planets and Adult Planets. It is our jobs to teach Kids to be Adults and it the Kids' job to learn how to be Adults. Simple as that. You need both, but only in balance. Birth rate is the enemy.
