5-6 hour days, 4 day work weeks must become standard.

Nobody ever forbid women from working. The difference is that 99% of people worked heavy manual labor jobs 15 hours a day 6 days a week and women would rather not work. Farmers worked about 10 hours a day, every day. In came 40 hour work weeks and massive amounts of office jobs and women suddenly wanted to work.

Wrong, because to produce high tech products we need a ton of people along each part of the supply chain. We have shortages as is. All technological advances have slowed down because we don't have enough people. To design chips we currently have millions of people working on that and there is a huge shortage of workers for that field, that's why they are well paid and the same with software. Same with cars, etc ,etc. For higher tech fields if the population reduces too much the supply chain will break and we will go backward. That's why we either need more working people or heavy automation.

All this is true for Europe and North America, just to a lower degree so far

@DonesdeMotivacion Terrible advice. immigration/emigration is bad for everyone involved in it 9/10 times.

Women are the ones who are traditional and want marriage. And marriage by definition is the father giving ownership of his daughter to her husband... Women love to ignore that part, because white dress and cake and attention, but that is the meaning of the wedding and marriage. I personally have always been against marriage due to that because I'm against the whole idea of owning a person...

Wrong, people have never been so centralized, that's the problem.

@JVlk-tw6fs And yet the education system produces stupid, weak and useless people in 12-20 years and wastes your youth, goes doubly so for STEM... -_- If kids were specialized through private courses and self-education, starting from the age of 10-12 in one engineering field, OR one trade, or law or commerce, they'd be highly skilled and knowledgeable experts by the age of 16-20 able to work competently at a medium position in their (sub)sphere, even if they start at a lower position. Instead they come out useless and desperately send their CV/portfolio to 1000 companies hoping one would hire them as an intern, maybe bottom of the barrel position.

@huguesfalk5956 it comes from religion, and I hate religion, precisely due to concepts like these. The christian wedding(not the glorified party it is nowadays) is exactly that. Originally before I think queen Victoria the second, weddings were just a simple ceremony where the father gave the daughter to the husband in front of a priest and witnesses and it took less than 30 minutes and it was finished. And then there is the legal marriage which also sucks. And men would keep their women safe even without marriage that's for sure, most men don't need to be tied by law and religion to do that.

Until 130 years ago, even most at the time rich people were poorer than the average person today, for 99.9999% of human history, people have been poorer than the average person in Europe, America, Asia and Australia.

@JVlk-tw6fs Your are thinking monetary, I'm thinking production and actual products. People lived in worse houses, there were no apartments, more people did NOT have a home, they didn't have easily available and cheap food and clothing, they didn't have a toilet seat, no air conditioning or any way to cool themselves, only heat, no electricity, they were lucky to have a horse and carriage for transport. Metal was expensive and rare too.

@JVlk-tw6fs yes, a rich person back then was worse. Did a 19th century king have air conditioner? Did a king have a smartphone, computer, microwave, stove, fridge, boiler, semi-automated constant water supply? Did a king have a car? Nope. Nada. Nothing.

@JVlk-tw6fs The majority of people wouldn't survive if they didn't have work for 3 months back in the day. And the rich people did work for the majority of history. Does your history knowledge begin in the 1800s?
1
@JVlk-tw6fs Yes the animals needed no care at all... man you are repeating internet arguments... -_- Animals need care every day of the year. You had to also cut wood, make clothes, fix things around the house that you were too busy to fix in the more active season. And there for sure were aristocracy that didn't work, but a lot did, outside of exceptional periods. That's like saying the CEO doesn't work, nor the CTO, CFO, nor the COO... Management is a job too and so is diplomacy. Again it's history starts from 1700-1800 in your head. Aristocracy was also expected to wage wars and lead the army, left, right, front and center.

@JVlk-tw6fs You do cut wood in the winter if your supply isn't enough, nowadays with big lumberjack companies sure you can order enough, back then not so much. And again animals require daily work, it's not as much as farming, but it is work. And again for the majority of the nobility actually had responsibility. You are thinking of certain periods and certain countries where they didn't. Also there was very little nobility, there are far many more rich people nowadays than nobility back then. And you assume men couldn't saw their own clothes. Of course women were better at it, but even today men can do it. Also many people did different jobs during the winter, farmers weren't stuck just being farmers, back then you could do a lot of professions unprofessionally for yourself or people around you.

@JVlk-tw6fs Again you limit yourself to the last couple of centuries. Sure poor vs rich, but their material possessions were also worse. We have technology they wouldn't be able to fathom and even the poor(non-African) can afford it. There is a reason why monarchies fell and the exact reason is because the nobility stopped performing their duties during the late 18th and throughout 19th century. Just like the current rulers aren't doing theirs either and haven't been for almost the entirety of the current system. It's entirely due to technological advancement that the poor have kept it together, but as we stand we are plateauing in many fields right now and with fewer and fewer young people we are bound to fail.

@JVlk-tw6fs They also managed armies, had to set moral standards, had to check the work of everyone under them when it came to both accounting and production, so they needed the skills to do that as well. They needed to know and understand law, accounting, logistics and management. Otherwise you could easily lie to them and rob them naked. They also had to show class by learning a lot of "culture", basically musical instruments, poetry, etc, etc. You can't have a ruler that can't do what his people can(before high technologies came to be). Plus they had to be really well socially versed, people wouldn't follow them otherwise, they'd go to a different noble or nobody all together.

@JVlk-tw6fs The bible has incest so I'm not surprised they did. Again you have very limited knowledge of what it means to be a boss. You do realize that the aristocrats you described were few and far between? And you are describing the ones before the fall of monarchies, ignoring thousands of years of GLOBAL history. Every time in China their nobility started to act up civil wars and revolutions ensued, same with Japan, same with both eastern and Western Europe... Same in the Muslim countries. You have literally limited yourself to 18th and 19th century western and central Europe...

For 99.999% of history people lived infinitely worse than they do now, so having kids is better.

Educated is not smart, especially with the official education system which produces weak, stupid and useless people, especially so in STEM.

Birth rates have been declining in the west for over 100 years, nothing new. First grade math.
1
No, the economy grew despite the birth rate decline, due to increase in trade and automation, but if they already had modern policies and technology their economy would be stagnant right now and soon would be declining.

@bobs_toys And people don't care that's the worst part.

But it will lead to the massacre if the human race... Even the nazis were better than that.

@pluierentier The genocide of the human race is a wise comment? That's worse than the mustached men of WW2.

Yeah women have more rights than men.

@danspencer4235 Exactly.
