How to get to 10 trillion people in this solar system?

perhaps in a perfect world this could happen. unfortuantely we live
in the world that exist. genitically women (actually females of all
species) are concerned with getting the best father for her children,
while a male (of any species) is interested in have as many mothers
of his children as he can.

humans are one of the few species of animal that have something that
tells them to go against genitics. call it what you want, soul, love,
god's message, logic, or society, there are things that tell us male
that having hundreds of children is not the way its suppose to be.
unfortuately, genetics are hard to ignore. some choise to ignore it
altogether, while others choise to ignore what every tells them
otherwise.

if you look at ancient soceities that excelled, most of those had
means that the children were taken care of regaudless of what the
father decided was best for himself or the mother decided what was
best for herself. in the best of ancient societies it was the
community that was responsible for the children. yes mothers had a
greater role in the individual raising, but the fathers had a greater
role in the raising of all children together. in many of todays
societies, too often its considered the responsiblity of "anyone but
me", or its only the mother and fathers responsiblity.

I believe that in the future, due to the dangers of the life in
space, it will once again have to be the communities responsiblity to
raise the children. that will not remove the parent's responsiblity,
or remove the children from their immeadiate care most of the time,
but will add to it, the care from the community.
