I'm reminded of an old joke involving two cowboys, a rattlesnake, a doctor who gives unappreciated advice, and a punchline that goes "Sorry pardner, but the doctor says you're gonna die." It's not appropriate so I won't go into detail here.
The upshot of Murray's book is about the same as the punchline -- "Sorry Europe, but you're gonna die" -- with a 180 degree orientation change.
There was zero discussion of Europe's collapsing birth rates. There was zero discussion of the fact that Europe's ideas about sex (and marriage, and the religious traditions that underpin them) are headed towards sterility. It's seemingly impossible for these two to do anything but scratch their heads about how the "death of Europe" might be prevented, because the obvious advice (that everyone needs to do their bit, including them) would be... unappreciated.
I love the fact that Rubin's conversations are for the most part so open, and that he doesn't shut down the likes of Jordan Peterson when they talk about the fact that men and women are different. But, there's a *very very important point*, which is treated with silence here.
If this keeps up, Europe dies.
