This is 100% on western women and as with everything that western women champion it has turned to failure. There are zero success stories about anything western women champion. Zero. None. Not even one.

The richest countries in the entire history persuade their young adults that they can't afford children.

I was born in 1990 in Canada and assumed the best life for me would be staying in school, going to university, travelling abroad plenty, moving to a city for a cheap apartment and to start my career, and then get married and have kids once I could afford to buy a house. I was always focused on advancing my career and finding the "perfect" husband first (because who you have kids with is such a major anxiety indicing decision). My parents always told me to do all these things while I still had time, so I wouldn't miss out once I was saddled with kids. Well I'm 34 now and after all that, I'm single and unemployment right now living with my grandma and still waiting for the perfect situation to have kids in. I'm not sure if I will now, I'd have to get back to work and find the perfect mate first 😅

Our society wants us to spend 4 unpaid hours a day in traffic so we can all show up to work and leave at the same arbitrary time and force our kids to go and get bullied at school every day. It's radical but that's the sort of thing that needs to change before people will start wanting to have kids again.

It is a culture obsessed with instant gratification

Way back in the 60's I worked for a couple of years in rural Africa... essentially with hunter/gatherer level culture. Thinking back, the message i missed then was how mentally well balanced they were. Utterly poor, but completely rich in social harmony. Mental health was a non issue, they had communal security.

Louise is such a good guest, could listen to her all day. Top work John.

Ah yes the people in castles blame the peasants for not breeding on lifestyle and not their greed squeezing the working class. This book will have nothing to offer but pointing the finger down at the people with the least power.

In 1950, human population 2.3 billion. In 2024, 8.2 billion. A correction was inevitable. Global capitalism was always going to eat its own lunch.

The irony is how everyone comments on how the lower birth rate means fewer young workers to exploit in the social welfare state.

@whatshappening3327 День назад

It comes down to the definition of what poverty is in of itself and the miscalculation of what is truly valuable. If you know how to survive without society then you are rich. rich people are not rich if they don’t know to survive without society. A mansion without electricity, water, or heat/air conditioning is pretty useless to a modern person. The truth is we got spoiled and comfortable. And then we also get less skilled and capable and therefore more dependent on the government and society and then we want to mate with the perfect person because the amount of hard ship modern people will stomach is lower and lower. This population collapse is pretty inevitable but maybe it will lead to a complete reformation of what we consider truly valuable.

you need to factor in feminism which has alienated women from men with their attitude of woman can be ( eg career only), that men are predators, unrealistic standards and expectation of what men have to be for women eg the sixes, nevermind that marriage/LTR is now risky thanks to the legal system when you can very easily lose your kids and have them alienated from the non custody parent...

Excited about this one. Best guest in a while. Drop it already....

@rachelfrench1060 4 часа назад

Perry speculates that the falling birthrate is something to do with urbanisation. I agree but would take it a little further: in a rural setting, a family can do the work necessary to feed, house and sustain themselves while also looking after children. In an urban setting where you must go and work in a factory or an office, you can't. You have to either pay someone else to care for them, or sacrifice your income until they reach school-age. This is a huge and often prohibitive loss. After all, it's not like your mortgage payments stop for five years at the same time.

Modernity? “An Essay on the Principle of Population” was published in 1798. That’s the book which discussed how to Reduce the Surplus Population.

@GriffinParke День назад

This needs to be looked at in more detail as some populations seem immune to this process. Israel has an increasing population but some demographics within countries are experiencing rising birth rates. In Western nations it seems to be mostly those on welfare that are experiencing this.

Life is pain. Why not at least dedicate the pain to something that brings joy.

@malhenning1608 День назад

its a "the tragedy of the commons," phenomenon. My not having children, single motherhood, divorce doesn't matter. Yes it does because the bad behaviour of the few if there is no repercussions can lead to a cancer in society.
