most of cost increase last years is due to energy costs which is artificially influenced by war terror; to stop supply and the climate hoax; governments are known artificially increasing prices to ''promote lower energy use''.
Our societies have embraced human sacrifice aka abortion. Our societies have replaced family and religion with materialism and self-centrism. When you see many people care more about animals than other humans, you know that society is morally degenerate. There is no going back. Only awaiting the collapse and rebuilding from the ground up.
Human civilization is artificial, and that means it's split from nature. We first need to live with nature not against it, not harming it, not using it for short period profit that harms the future.
Let me get this right. They study 12 hours a day every single day, to get a good job, where they'll work 12 hours a day 6 days a week... Why? It's an exercise in futility, there's no point, what are you getting paid for? To eat, sleep and get back to work? That's literally just slavery, I'd rather fail the exam and leave the country if i was them.
The older generation, with cheap loans and uncontrolled growth of debt, provided themselves with a good life in the second half of the 20th century at the expense of those who will have to pay it all back in the first half of the 21st century. So that they could, at one time, buy their own home in 2-3 years without straining themselves by working 8 hours a day at a factory, we will now have to work ourselves to death on 12-hour shifts paying off their debts. Technically, instead of an inheritance, we received debt obligations. So this is not so much slavery as a debt hole of parents that we are forced to cover by giving up a normal life.
@Dandelion2-3Ironically having a collective culture with a focus on the benefits to society seemed to forget the most important ingredient that being having kids.
my 2 cents, As long as people will have to work 8-10 hours to survive and barely making a living unless you are a doctor or an engineer you likely can't even afford children, and if you are an engineer or doctor you simply don't have time to raise a children. Reduce cost of living and make 6 hour shifts, thats probably the "utopian" idea.

@@broidkanymore-zc4lt What he/she said is purely individual, ofc there are people fortunate enough that dont feel that way. However you have to realize that for some people their body is an physiological prison that makes you mortified about the thought of you dying.. even though you dont really find much joy in living, alot of melancholy/depressed people are keeping on living because they have been locked up in this meat sack of blood and bones and are way too scared to end it. The person has to first start to suffer misery that will eventually best the fear of death.
The problem is multi faceted. There is no one key solution. 1. Having children is very expensive 2. Women want to work, and often are forced to work due to rising cost of living 3. Men and women are being taught to hate one another in countless media articles 4. Men are going their own way, while women are being told they need no man 5. People want to travel and have careers. Loads of hobbies and sports. Masses of entertainment. Children sap resources to do these. 6. Easy access to spicy videos and other content for men means they're slapping the sausage instead of finding a woman 7. Women have been told for decades to demand a top man. Top earning, top height, top looks. 8. For South Korea, China and Japan, long work hours means parents have no energy or time for children 9. And many more reasons.
Point 7 is super important, because there's been too many cases of men thinking they're in happy, loving, stable relationships, when in fact their spouse or partner is always looking to "upgrade". It's made the decision to have children an absolute nightmare for many young men who would like to be fathers, who would potentially be good fathers, and yet the idea that they can commit to their parenting role while their SO can't because they're always looking for something "better" is putting many of them completely off the idea. Add to that court systems which unfairly grant custody a good 90% of the time to the mom, and men are essentially reduced to the role of piggy-bank for women who can not only bag another man who is doing well financially, but she can bankroll part of her own lifestyle and the rearing of children off of child support. It's a complete narcissistic distortion that has ruined entire families for generations at this point, and while some may argue that the man/father might not have been living up to their end of the bargain, it's happened to enough good men who still do their best to be a positive influence on their young children's lives that there is no point to it anymore. You're essentially signing up for a one-night stand that turns into an 18 year commitment to pay half your wages to a woman who stabs you in the back and probably tries to turn your own kids against you.
Babies are only expensive if you're selfish as shit. Once you have a child, it is no longer about you. And someone having a child should be proud of such an honor to bring forth the new generation properly. In this age of self aggrandizement, I can see why having a baby wouldn't be an honor for most.
@@OrlanduHolySwordsman And thats exactly the problem, greed and selfishness. People dont want the responsibility of taking care of their children, they'd rather have something easy, like a dog or even SIMPLER, a cat. People have been programmed to be apathetic to their children, its a disgusting and misanthropic mindset that should be shunned and shamed.
The primary reason why people aren't having kids in industrialized nations is because most people are aware that their kids will have a lower standard of living than they did. Real wages have barely moved since the 80's, while cost of living is up several fold. And the trend is only getting worse. Looking to immigration for a solution is like treating a symptom without addressing its cause.
I don't think most people are even aware of their own elbow. They are all susceptible to the propaganda about population though and affected by an abundance of chemicals in our food and drink.
Also sadly, this is most certainly also the natural after effect of conflict between the two genders. Ultimately not just people being priced out of it, but also resentment is a factor It really is time Alot of the severe social issues between men and women be included in this discussion, its ignorant to just ignore it.
Truth: people are having the number of children they can afford....which is zero for many. I couldn't afford to date or get married....even though I had a job with good benefits.
Being told your whole childhood there are too many people in the world. And now being told we need MORE people, when the cost of living is this high? No thank you.
You are right.. all I ever heard was constant griping about “overpopulation” and the “human virus” problem on sweet Mother Earth.. humans bad! They always screamed… the book “population bomb”… Now they are complaining not enough people.. the truth is those above need a huge number of those below to maintain their lives of luxury.
Both can be true. There are too many people but also our economy and way of life is predicated on there being more young people than old people so that retirement is economically feasible because proportionally fewer people are at that age.
@@CantusTropus wouldn't that be what most anticapatilst want? That how the world was before we started free trade economy, everyone had 5-10 children in hope that they will provide for them at the end. Everyone is dirt poor and in constant struggle.
There’s too much pressure in school and work, also getting jobs that have good wages are getting out of reach for the majority and college prices are getting more expensive.
The wolves are happy other wolves aren't reproducing. The sheep are still reproducing enough to service the needs of the dominant wolf pack. The dominant wolf pack does everything it can to destroy the other wolf packs and enables the sheep to harm the other wolves. They import sheep from their other herds to service the needs of the dominant pack.
Me too. I read survival books(not physical books) and try to learn stuff. Maybe by a small chance I will survive when everything goes down. Not that it would be a great way to live but I simply want to survive for a while.
True in a world where people actually THINK, and have a decent IQ. In reality, probably more than half of population is VERY dumb, and will make A LOT of children. Poor countries will have the most children, rich countries will not have children.
also the goverment gives parents too many responsibilities, unlike the past where you could do whatever you wanted with your children, this is a big factor as well
That's how it's always seemed to be with technology. Our reach exceeds our grasp, and we never learn our lesson until hindsight humbles us, often too late. Humanity is way too full of hubris for our own good, thinking we know everything. I'm scared to see what happens after AI has invaded every last digital corner, and the devastation it will cause.

agreed 100%. That's what it all comes down too. If billionaires actually paid out fair wages, ie they wouldn't be billionaires anymore, more people will have children. Problem solved. Elites don't want to give up their lifestyles. That's why Musk is freaking out.

At the 12th minute the narrator says that, “it’s now being predicted that the populations of 20 developed nations will halve by 2100.” Well that certainly won’t be the case for Britain/Ireland, the US, Canada and Australia and NZ.

The incredibly grave conundrum with this is, because almost all of these immigrants are the sourced from countries that have no inherent cultural, and WORST OF ALL, religious connections to the host societies. And whilst the economic rationalists - WEF, George Soros, major banks and, indeed, the extremely treacherous and traitorous politicians - construe it’s fantastic and, have multiple climaxes over the increasing revenues and taxes from increased consumption of goods and services the danger is that these immigrants will soon become the collective majorities.

@@igaluitchannel6644 -- For the record, I live in Sydney, and can state CATEGORICALLY, that here and now people of non-Anglo/European cradles would be (collectively) NO MORE than 45% of the the city's population: about 10% of those living here are temporary migrants; there are around 350,000 international students. At the Sydney OIympics in 2000, non-AEs were about 15+% of Sydney's population. Official data says that about 1 million people have left Sydney since 2000, to other places and regions in Australia. If you board an all-stations train at Strathfield station to Central, it's almost CERTAIN that some won from Asia will account for at least 85% of passengers. The ONLY good thing about it (to say the LEAST, is that it's very hard for anyone to get here illegallly from the Third World, who has no worthwhile skills, let alone a decent education and, MOREOVER, there aren't TOO MANY Muslims here, either, as it is in England.
@@markferguson7563 It seems all Commonwealth countries are afflicted with the same problem. In Canada, our sick PM brought in 1.2 million legal immigrants last year. We had 900,000 illegal migrants (oh, excuse me, undocumented people), we had 9000,000 foreign students - many of whom see it as a ticket to citizenship. Add to that, 900,000 temporary foreign workers. It's no wonder that many Canadians can no longer afford rents and are now living in tents - in 3rd world conditions.
@@igaluitchannel6644 -- Yes, I know the situation in Canada well. I've been there on four occasion between 2002-2011. I also have a brother who is a Canadian citizen for 40 years, who lives in Montreal. And I also received the newsletters from the People's Party of Canada, which is the only political group in Canada that calls out recolonisation of the country. Here in Sydney, and also in Melbourne in the space of 40 years, peoples of Anglo/Celtic/European heritages have plummetted from being 90%, to where ACEs are now the colllective minorities. I'd estimate that AECs are now NO MORE than 45% of either cities populations. In 2005, there were only 200,000 people in the country with an Indian heritage, now it is 1.45 million: about 300,000 are temp-migrants, overwhelmingly being international students. Of course, Canada has been swamped with Indian immigrants and loads of international students, too. But, the only good (sic) thing to say about Oz, if it can be deemed good, is that we get a tiny number of people from the Third World. Unlike, Britain, which has about 2.4 million people that have swarmed into the country over the past 25 years, who have been eternal burdens upon the society.

It wasn't just that they were trapped and held captive. They were deliberately not allowed _any_ recreation activities _and_ they were forced to eat in communal areas only to the point that eventually lost the ability to eat independently due to conditioning.

Culture is the problem. The basic problem is that motherhood isn't respected. If it was, people would have children and governments would smooth their path. Work culture, housing costs, child-raising costs, the increasing gap between men and women, and all the rest: all of these follow from the basic problem that motherhood has no respect.
Motherhood isn't just not respected it straight up showed as weak and pathetic in our culture. Now women are showed the only way you can be valued and have a high statues is to be a water downed version of a man. This infuriates me since it's one of the most important roles within society.
@@balasaashti3146 i agree that motherhood is as important as any other job, however, women should still have the choice to be a mom or work. i would never be a mom. i couldnt do it. other women are probably better suited for it and thats fine. i just dont want motherhood to be forced onto me, so yeah. it is most definitely important, but should not be forced onto anyone
@@weiner01103 It is not as important vastly more important then most roles in society. It is the first start to enable your culture to flourish and the base of civilization itself.

Not quite. If you have 90% people requireing resources and 10% producing you will see that there is not enoth resources no matter how you allocate them.

How all the new wealth gets distributed is another story but judging by history this will just turn into techno fudalism 3.0.
There seems to be a self re-enforcing cycle where companies demand higher hours to compensate for less workers which then makes those workers less likely to have kids. It's a like a tragedy of the commons but with children.
Mm, the better solution is to just have the cost of work go up because of the shortage. Real wages will go up in order for companies to secure the labor force they need, and the companies that cannot afford it (eg the less efficient ones) will go under. Alas, corporate lobbyists.
it's all about the share holders and raising capitol. They want to be richer or they will pull out and reinvest somewhere else. Greed is vile is and ruining the world.
Yeah and workers can put a stop to it. Don't work for such employers, quit and work something else. We see that happen e.g. in Germany. The medical care sector has horrible working conditions and horrible pay, the employers aiming to exploit the social conscience of their employees. And more and more employees are seeing through this and quitting it, retraining to work in other areas of the economy. Many boomers are reaping what they've sown with their fucked up politics, they'll have to writhe in their own shit, when no one is going to change their diapers.
Good that you introduced the long forgotten rat studies. What you omitted though was that the reason these abundantly resourced rat societies fell apart was hypothesised to be that for both physiological and psycholigical reasons rats ( and by extension humans) can only tolerate a certain number and level of interactions over a given time period. Mega cities as they are currently constructed create such an overload, which results in a number of defined responses One of these is the creaion of tribalised districts, the other is total withdrawal from society and not going out, violence and rage - blind lashing out and pathological behavior is another, such as killing offspring. Another response is what is known as "bystander apathy", another well researched aberration of human behaviour typically found in large densely populated cities.

The war on fathers has really made a huge difference. The incentive is to turn fathers into nothing more child support payers & just a part time free babysitter (if you are lucky). So many, including me, don't even bother to try and start a family anymore. Why invest in something that can be taken away from you at anytime, for any reason, or no reason at all (no fault divorce). Now your only input is to still pay up, or else, but you are disposable. Message received: Don't even bother to try, fathers have no rights. So few women are even worth the risk.
There is no war on fathers,dummy. Fathers did that on their own, that's what happens when a woman is left to do everything by herself while a man use the "bills" as an excuse to be incompetent. If you are gonna be dead weight then you get dropped

Women pushed THEMSELVES into the workforce because they wanted to economically compete with and be financially and socially independent from their families and men in general, surrounded with media telling them this was the best new way of the future and any man who tried to tell them otherwise was an abusive control freak. All right at a time when they could have had housewife lives their mothers could only DREAM of having but now the one thing women can be depended on most of all is to fight for the right to murder their own unborn children so I guess we know what women's real priorities are...
ther is no problem with it, ther should just be less hours of working, more pay, or both, also parents can choose if they want kids, they can choose wchich parent raises the kids, there should also be more flexibility, when will this sexism end, idgaf that some people have been born as incubators and others as the pollinators, if women want to work, why shouldn't they? we would have immortality anyway long ago if the bs wars and kiling stopped long ago, effectively making it impossbile for population to vanish

That's false. Most big industry I know, they simply follow the market. The people at the top are the same humans that you and I are. They want to make their job correctly. The problem is usually what we tell them what their job is. Currently the market indicates that there are heavy needs for metal, for houses, for electric cars. Lots of materials is needed to transition for fossil fuels, to build things for all the population, etc. It's all related to a population problem. Cut it in half, and you have half of a problem. Some people are problematically Greedy. Like Jeff Bezos, those people should be restrained instead of adored.
Honestly, I think part of the issue with population collapse is people's extremely negative view of humanity. If we're just a cancer on the face of the planet, then is reproducing really moral?
@@bbrruuhhhhh19 Those countries could try to defend themselves by having their population having in trend large houses and they also need per room some sort of dealing with extreme climate there. Excuses are excuses. Poles live on average in 70% smaller houses I think and don't complain because of size (unless it's really small but even then they might try to endure this).
The urine bottle phenomenon is not just amazon. My coworkers and I at fedex have to do it, especially during Christmas because of scumbag leadership set delivery time quotas and it's a work until it's done culture. My route is a rich suburb so I do about 12 hours a day. It's absolute crap but you work so much you don't have time to job search or interview.

So in the west it was exactly that the baby boomers were the first generation where child death was really dammed, while the parents of that generation were still were behaving as if it hadn't. The "golden rule", as you call it, of population distribution is only applicable if a huge amount of children die before reaching the age of 6. In our society supported by modern medicine you want a very even distribution across the age brackets until the age where modern medicine can't keep a person alive anymore. At the time of the worries of the population explosion child death had very much not been under control across large swathes of the world, and it didn't look like the LEDCs would get to the point where child death would be stemmed before the population explosion would become a huge problem. That has somewhat changed. The babyboomer population taking up such a large part of the demographic is also what made the problem in the west far worse. The generations coming afterward did not have enough economic stability to feel comfortable enough to procreate, and that's still the case.
@Smewth I know I wasn't the one asked but I'll say one of the main reasons I don't like that sack of turds is because he is the one most responsible for facilitating the A.I. takeover which will likely put most people out of work and out on the streets to die of hunger and sickness within the next 20 years. Then he wants to act like he's doing us all a favor by warning us of the obvious impending doom of population collapse (which he himself is significantly culpable for). He blames it on birth control which I understand is in fact partially the reason, yet he completely ignores the material, cultural, and civic disparities that have are ubiquitous throughout the world while sitting on his multi-billion dollar fortune and relishes in the praise he gets from all the suckers who are unable to see him for the spoiled bratt fraud that he really is.
I’m gona move to the abandoned village and flee the west. I’ll chill out all day and as long as I got starlink. I can relax and shitpost all day living the ez life 😊
@@branchingoutnurseries4403 Well, he is rich by underpaying his employees, who then have no means to live a normal life or to reproduce. So yes, he is a part of an problem.
@@williamswenson3970 Idk about this person but I definitely wouldn't. The media is just stating the truth. I can see the struggle irl with my own eyes. Children are definitely not good for this economy.
Soon 40 and no kids here, I've seen relationships as a pain I don't have to endure by seeing all the heartbreak whenever someone I know breaks up their relationship.
Same, I was always scared away from marriage via the horror stories my brother & his friends told about their relationships (all ending in divorces where they got the short end of the stick).
So your a weak boy that is the age of 40. Ok , well as coming from a third world country I say please continue complaining about excuses while us men do the hard. Just don't expect us to respect your culture if it's as weak as you.
I have never understood why society has to collapse because of less people? People are being replaced by robots and AI anyway. Or is it the collapse of the banks and companies that they are worried about?
The issue with the robots and AI solution is that all those robots and AI are owned by the 0.1%. And neither robots, AI, or their owners pay taxes or contribute much of value to society. The core of the issue is that society depends on families, families are getting rarer and rarer, so society is decaying and AI's not going to stop that. Only way to truly fix society is for culture, governments, corporations, and billionaires to place families first, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
@@whitneyanders5945 A single person is not a family. They're just taking up space waiting to die (for Australia, that's 26%). So, no, not everyone of us is part of a family. And yes, you can argue that if their parents aren't dead they're part of a family - a failed family. If there is at least one child in the extended family, you might call that a family. But, it's also a family that can't support itself - if that one descendant were required to care for multiple elderly, it would collapse - and that one younger person wouldn't have time to date, marry, and raise a child - so that family, too - isn't going to be a successful family.
The problem is we gonna have a lot of people over 60 who will be unable to do most jobs. Does men over 60 can work in factories and farms? No. And who gonna do those jobs few people.
Why i wouldn't wants kids in this generation is because of things like inflation and everything keeps going up. I'm from gen z (mind you the generation that doesn't want kids) and we just know that the kids we have would grow up to see the world come to shit since there's so much AI and new tech stuff also the corrupting of the government. Now I don't speak for all of gen z but i'm sure most of the people from my generation will agree that having a kid right now isn't a good idea at all. Maybe even never having children.
TY for covering this! There are five interesting phenomena across the entire world happening at the same time: 1) Fertility crisis 2) Male loneliness epidemic 3) Single childfree women recorded as the happiest demographic globally 4) Capitalism is failing 5) Patriarchy is failing (patriarchy is one of the four legs of the stool of the world's disastrous dominant economic system: capitalism; white supremacy; colonialism; patriarchy) So as these systems simultaneously fail it is unsurprising that the result is a massive drop in fertility regardless of various government efforts to force women to exist solely as incubators for producing the progeny of and serving men. If you want to know why abortion and other reproductive rights are under attack, this is why. If you want to know why there is a rise in misogyny across males of all political groups (including leftish males) along with an increasing popularity of misogynist content via podcasts and other mediums, this is why. If you want to know why governments are cracking down on dissent so they can continue impoverishing people while crippling their ability to revolt, this is why. The upside of all of this is that the old systems are all falling apart. The downside is that as they fall apart, the evils of patriarchy; capitalism; white supremacy; and colonialism are manifesting themselves in the human population in increasingly unhinged and dangerous ways. Stay safe out there, women! Just a general reminder to everyone: the population crisis is not women's problem. No man is owed a legacy or children. Men are not entitled to women or to progeny. And women have no social obligation whatsoever to continue the species. If men want women to partner with them and have their children, men need to evolve into better and more deserving humans. Period.
This is great, it means the dystopian managerial societies run by international bankers and their ponzi debt economies are always doomed to fail. Also, not a single showcase of the population numbers throughout human civilization over the past 10,000 years, which has always been around half a billion globally. If anything, we are returning to the natural numbers of human population.
I find the idea fascinating that it is something like THIS, not nuclear weapons or climate change, that is actually a great filter explaining the fermi paradox. That it isn't some exclusively external change but some weird quirk of any intelligent species to succumb to their own development once a certain size and 'wealth' has been reached simultaneously but can't be kept up. A hard to extricate from inbuilt suicide switch.
Wealth for who is always the question. The great filter is an essay by Robin Hanson, and is great read. You have to wonder if terrestrial great apes are bound to fail from sheer aggression.
And it is the opposite. If you take an average child free person and reduce his income, he will not start wanting kids. On the other hand, if you increase income of someone with 1 kid, they will likely make 2, 3 and more. Attitude towards making kids is completely in the moral field, and the wealthier the person, the more kids he will afford to have. The only way how wealth can indirectly create less children is hedonism. Poor people simply cannot enjoy materialistic values, because they can't afford any luxuries. But it doesn't mean that scarcity encourages making children, poor people just are less likely to be spoiled with materialistic values. Also, there are many wealthy people who have more kids than average. Elon Musk, for example, has 7 kids. And some poor drug addicts have 0.
In UK only the lower working class and underclass are above birth replacement level. It's because they're short time horizon ie they don't plan ahead and just recklessly get pregnant, then they get a council house. It's a bit like bungee jumping, with the state acting as the bungee.
It the power process. A basic biological principle. When weak find power, when have power seek to discharge it, when discharge seek to experience extreme stimulus and finally death. Nietzche call this the The will to power.
@@igors1234 You are looking on the individual level. On the global level all wealthy and abundant nations have lower birth rate compared to poor nations. The idea of "childfree" exists predominantly (maybe only) in the abundant rich nations. There's something about having resources and wealth that feeds the mind with hedonistic ideas.
@@bLaffix Even on a global scale there's no correlation with wealth. Israel has 3 children per woman, France has 1,8 children per woman, South Korea has 0,8 children per woman, which is the lowest fertility rate in the world. Is South Korea 2 times wealthier than France and 4 times wealthier than Israel? I don't think so. Algeria has 2,9 children per woman on average, but it doesn't mean that it's more prosperous than Israel. And all developed European countries had around 3 children per woman just 50 years ago. Also, USA had on average 6,3 children per woman in 1835. The same fertility rate is now in Somalia, but there's no doubt USA was way more prosperous in that year than Somalia is now. Like I said, it's the moral values that determine whether a couple will want to reproduce or not. And wealth will positively influence whether couple will be able to sustain children or not. A wealthy country can sustain good fertility rates, and it's a historical fact. And, like I said, wealth can possibly cause selfish moral values, which end up in being child free. But there's no direct link, and wealthy person can as well want kids, and have all the possibilities to do that.
The difference is that in the past the population was increasing with a larger young population than older. If the situation leads to the population decreasing to 2 billion, what will drastically change in societies to reverse that trend? Nothing. The population will continue to decrease.
why would those who benefit from the system design the collapse of the system dummy - its caused by oversight and greed. every public company demands exponential growth and they take it by any means necessary. this is what happens when corporations have more say in what goes on than real people
You cannot have infinite growth in a finite environment, ( the Earth) Over population is demonstrated globally by the weather patterns, it needs to be reduced irrespective of economic demand
When CEOs pay themselves so much that you can't afford food for yourself so you choose to not have kids, and everyone else does the same. The end of America, ended without a bang (No banging)
You act like CEOs don’t manage a company so that it becomes successful, you sound like everyone else that doesn’t understand what goes into running company.
when I was attending secondary school, in the beginning of the 90s, in Portugal, the narrative was, fewer children was desirable because there were too many people in the world. Less children meant development. Career and education were more important. Back then, there were many children, like myself, playing outside in the street, there were lots of activities. Nowadays they want people to have more children but people do what they were told. They focused on education and career. Most of my friends and acquaintances only have one child. Some have 2, like myself and a big chunck decided not to reproduce at all.
Glad your opinion is not reality. Because thinking like that increases the problem. You and everyone else thinking like that is a self fulfilling prophecy. You're manifesting misery 😂
I just saw this first hand visiting family in Arkansas. All these one bustling little towns are now run down and damn near vacant. My dad was telling me Stories about how great the town was when he was growing up there and pointing out buildings that used to be this or that and now is just empty or torn down.
