It means that the current low fertility rate associated with economic progress and education might not lead to the collapse of technological civilisation even if the population drops to a more sustainable level.
The open internet itself, yes, it won't survive the next few years - but then there's no stopping this. We could ban AIs in the west, which is the only place that sort of law might work, but Russia, North Korea, Iran, China - they'll still use it to mess with us.
I don't think you can encourage low fertility rate. I don't think we did in the west.
I also know there's nowhere to get our replacement from once the whole world is educated. Technological accelerationism might save us, or it might doom us.
It's all rather exciting, isn't it?
Pushing young women into the workplace so they can waste their lives grinding away at meaningless soul crushing fake corporate jobs instead of raising families. Degenerate Tinder/hookup culture. The "west" certainly encouraged it.
Natural selection will sort it out. No reproduction leads to extinction.
The strongest societies and cultures will survive. We'll see how it plays out over the next few generations.
I'm not moving to India, China, or Arabia, but they are certainly moving here. My city of ~2M people is now 50% foreign born and mass immigration is still at an all time high. The native populations here are reproducing at below replacement level. I have observed extreme demographic changes happening in real-time within a generation.
It is incredible to experience and none of us voted for it. There was no referendum. Nothing. Apparently this was UN policy and we had no choice.
No, you don't get to say that and not be laughed at. You can believe it, but you can't claim it. Democracy isn't just voting for what you want or complaining you didn't get a vote. It's also running for office on a platform that you believe is important. Unless you got elected and tried to implement your ideas and men in black came to stop you, you don't get to complain.
There are powerful influential people and entities in this world that make far reaching and wide impacting decisions without consulting or informing the public.
You have to be incredibly naive to believe all government officials, corporations, and financial elites are entirely transparent and honest
Perhaps you missed my question the first time. :))))
Are you as upset that young men are "wasting their lives grinding at meaningless soul crushing fake corporate jobs instead of raising families" as you are about women? Or are you just upset that the wimmenz escaped the kitchens they "belong" in?
If there were fewer people forced into work, maybe that would cut down the number of pointless/meaningless jobs.
Maybe it is better that only half of a couple are forced into corporate soul crushing jobs. It is subjective. Some women look at child raising / housewife duties as bondage and slavery. Natural selection rewards those who prioritize family. In any case we need generous maternity leave and options for part time employment.
Just noticed this:
> Or are you just upset that the wimmenz escaped the kitchens they "belong" in?
Spoken like a true incel who never spoke to a young lady who is raising a small child.
EDIT: Personally I don't give a shit. If a woman wants to be an astronaut or a mathematician or a ruthless psychopath CEO then go for it. I would encourage it. However if all women dedicated all of their energy to a career and have no babies then we become extinct. This is simple mathematics. Just because I point out a simple obvious mathematical fact doesn't mean that I am God and I created the universe this way. It was already this way long before I showed up and will continue to be this way long after I am gone from this world. Don't shoot the messenger.
