@ninamartin1084 The problem with that is you fast forward it 60 years and you find your population bottle necks. Women cannot have kids and be a good mother AND work full time. She cant be in two places at once. I think this is one of the main reasons so many women today, in the west, are utterly miserable. This typically means she has less children, below population restoration rates. And then after said 60 years your population starts declining. Slowly at first in some cases, dramatically in others, and then it implodes economically. Most of the world, in the next 20 years is going to face this very issue. Heck China alone is projected to loss 500 million in the next 20 years just due to aging. Economies wont be able to handle that change.

@AJ-sw8uf knowingly. With the increase levels of casual sex and unknown paternity, it is often the case that this happens, frequently without people knowing they are doing it. With increasing illegitimacy rates, and less than 50% of Black men in the US having children, a large portion of all Black children born are from a smaller and smaller pool of men. Those men being the men that women want. The eventuality is that incest will occur. And it will escalate, even if it is not intentional, via half brothers and half sisters interacting in the community. Its a dirty secret no one wants to talk about. But it is not intentional. Just the outcome of the breakdown of the Black family, the disempowerment of the black father, fathers in general, and an increase in sexual liberity.

@11235but economies cannot adapt to decreasing demand, they just recede. More so when they are already spending everything they produce and then some because of the debt burden. First will come the massive defaults. Then the economic death spirals from the majority of nations that are export based. We have no economic theory on what is coming. But if you know of an economic theory that will guide us through all of this until reproduction rates increase, you should publish it. You would be guaranteed a Nobel Prize in Economics.

@wheresmyeyebrow1608 I have visited PI several times while I was in the Marine Corps, and I also worked with a woman who grew up on a plantation in Mindanao. When she described how she grew up to other people they were like, you had slaves? And she was like no, my family was responsible for them. One of the things I discovered traveling is that the idiosyncrasies of different cultures are often lost on people who do not belong to them. The one commonality humans have is the ability to judge others harshly through our own limited world views who do not conform with our narrow beliefs. I wish you a good 2023.

@AJ-sw8uf Go work in a L&D unit in a major urban areas with large black populations and get back to me on it. The truth is, most dont even know its happening. Its on of the reasons the Black community is seeing higher rates of inheritable diseases. Its not like these these people know they are related. But genes dont care about that. And from a genetic standpoint its not the first generation of incest that sees the damage, but the preceding ones.
