  1.  @LucasFernandez-fk8se  Sexual dynamics have changed. Those same dynamics would prevent a baby boom. And one might argue any sort of exceptional economy.

  2. Men currently have a social obligation. We are required to (in the US) serve in the Armed Forces or register for selective services to receive most federal aid, which is essentially welfare. The issue is women have no such obligation. And since women have been made equal to men, without any such social obligation, its easy to see why we have ended up here, and everywhere else that "gender equality" has been tried. Women need to have a forced social obligation. They need to have "skin in the game." And there is only one thing a woman can do that a man cannot. But that way lies a dark path. What was it Simone said once, "Feminism is essentially the right of a woman to not have to have sex with a man she finds unattractive". I think it was her who said that. Anyways, it will never happen. Society will collapse as it is want to do from time to time and all women and most men will lose their liberties and standards of living, if they survive at all. Then those who come after us will curse our name and will have to claw their way back to a better day.

  4. Genealogical studies are showing around 6%, with higher levels around working class and poor, lower in wealthier families. Though these studies have been only done, to my knowledge, in European nations.

  5.  @victorygarden556  Yup, Small farms are the future. You might not be super wealthy, but you will eat well and can sell excess. As population declines, these massive agro farms wont be cost effective. Inputs would just be to high.

  6. The AfD is the future of Germany. Right now they are enduring the immune reaction of the German political establishment, the same way that the US establishment, both Democrat and Republican reacted to Trumps brand of progressivism. The question in Germany, and Europe as a whole, is if they can endure the pending collapse and what will happen to all the millions of non Europeans who are currently there. Will they endure in enclaves, like Germans did in Ukraine and Hungary, pre WWII. Or will they be sweep, driven, or otherwise removed from Europe in a faster fashion? Once the welfare state cracks in Europe, and it will if Trumps tariffs go into effect, then the knives will come out.

  7. Id argue that Christianity is only nominally Abrahamic. Through the early Greeks, Christian philosophy was greatly transformed via the Indo European faith traditions. When you look at Christianity that way, it makes much more sense. That is after all where the trinity comes from.

  8. Families should take care of families. Why are the elderly not being cared for by their family? Thats the issue and it needs to stop being enabled by the government.

  9.  @phatpat63  yup. And the brutality that will be needed to put things right just isnt in people anymore. Its probably why all societies at this stage unravel.

  10. The majority of young males cannot attract a female partner because of a lack of opportunity. That is a direct consequence of decades of pro female preferences in every aspect of the western world. If females do not find a male able to support her and any and all offspring she has he is simply a liability and to be passed over. People are looking at this completely wrong. Just like they have every other time its happened in history. Bring your baby to the office, how does that work with physicians or nurses? I dont think you guys have fully thought out your positions. What about women who work with heavy equipment or on production lines? Not everyone has a white collar job at a desk typing on a keyboard. And if AI has its way, even fewer will in the future.

  12.  @jsbrads1  But they dont. You are including all the subsidies that agra business gets. Those will be all gone. And so will there ever growing consumer base. They will all be operating at a loss. Which is the problem most farmers have. The reason I didnt respond to your points is because I didnt see your second post, just the first. You might be right about automated transport. maybe. But those farms, which are huge and in the middle of no where and already on marginal land, are already barely profitable. Throw in infrastructure that is already falling apart and in the future with massive deficits and declining population, most of those areas will go back to dirt or gravel roads. That makes transport in some times of the year not only near impossible but more expensive. The issue with looking at things in the future is thinking that everything will stay the same. Everything is going to fall apart. We just cant afford it. AI wont fix that. Respectfully. So in the end, smaller farms that are more self sustainable with good farming practices will have to come back. AI will be included but it wont take over. Farming on marginal land will disappear. If anything it will go back to being pasture. But even then, the margins on pasture cattle are so slim, even today, most wont even believe it. Average pasture raised beef brings in just 200 bucks profit on a good year. That for a 3 year investment. Thats awful risky. And as we have seen recently with Swine and Foul, both of those are no longer safe in large feedlots. My small ten acre farm brings in a good profit, last year near 90k. They key is finding the right markets. Perhaps AI will help in that regard too, with the data crunching.

  13.  @AprezaRenaldy  You may want to familiarize yourself with the New Madrid Earthquake in 1812. If it occurred today about 8 million people in the Mississippi flood plain would die. Chicago would have significant damage. Cities like Nashville, Memphis and St Louis would be destroyed. Most people are completely ignorant about it. It even just had an Earthquake on July 27 of this year. Before that earthquake people didnt even know there was a fault there. There are a lot of places like that in the US. And when they pop, that will be the first notice.

  14.  @williambranch4283  I believe their point is as things become more and more automated, robots, machines and AI, doing things, eventually you reach a point where the whole system is automated. From the point of mining materials to the point of end point production, including building the machines that mined the material in the first place. At that moment you have reached a post scarcity society. The human element is removed. So cost drops to zero. We are a long way away from that though in my opinion. But with the speed of technological progress, we might be closer than I think.

  15. check out the Bulbul tarang, which is used in India and Pakistan and the Oud from Arabia. Muslims do indeed have banjo players.

  16.  @Tryunderstandingsarcasm  this is a bigger problem that most people can understand. You see this a lot in rural Japan. There are few to no young people left to do jobs so the price for things becomes astronomical to the point where it might not even exist at all. People dont understand that price point is simply another form of rationing.

  17.  @fanOmry  and as others have pointed out. neither of the two studies that were done on that controlled for the age of the mother. But I get it. You have a hill you want to die on.

  18. I would ask how are they defining income? Is income a pay check of from things like stock shares and other sources. The tax reform act of 1969 changed a lot of things that most people are ignorant of. At the same time the baby boomers swamped entry level positions, due to their age cohort size, and stifled income growth. It did so much so that women then had to chose between a lower standard of living or to work full time. Its why as the boomers retire, around 2020, we saw massive wage inflation that will spike periodically over the next decade as the last of the boomers cycle out. The only thing that might stop wage inflation is adoption of AI but even then, for the workers that are left, their incomes will increase if there is a limited number of individuals who can do it. Throw in additional things like massive amounts of legal immigration post 65 and an absolute tsunami of illegal immigration in the 1970s and 80s you have your answer.

  19. You wonder why young people have this same issue. Lack of bullies. All humans need hardship. Bullies in school required social networking to counteract. Now you just have self serving perpetually self interested individualism that presents and toddlerism. When you are forced to conform to a group standard for survival, foolishness and selfish interest take a back seat.

  20.  @johnrockwell5834  The problem is that because of decades of anti bullying policies children do not know how to combat a bully. We had tons of bullies in the 70s and 80s. No one ended themselves over it. They fought back, sometimes as individuals other times as groups. Bullies are a valuable and needed part of growing up and learning to deal with life.

  21. The idea that the tech we have today will support us during the coming collapse and after is really a hope and a prayer. Infrastructure takes a lot of manpower to maintain. It would be easy to lose it.

  22. Its baffling to me how you think that men today think women of the past submitted to them because it was required by society. That is literally the feminist narrative. I personally think women, in general, cannot submit to men today, because the modern man is either feminized or cowed by the family court system. How is a man supposed to navigate and lead when he has that sword of Damocles hanging over their head? In the end though, this all sorts itself out. Just going to be a lot of suffering before that happens. And like the old saying goes, "How ya gonna keep'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree. This is a woman problem. Women need to sort it out or as the wheel turns, they too will be broken. You can already hear them crying about it. Women need to change their behavior just as men had to.

  23. your out of wedlock birth rates are incorrect. Black Americans always had a higher level of out of wedlock births. Prior to the 60s it was near 15%, with whites it was around 5%.

  24. People still dont understand the effects of the 1965 Medicare law. It completely changed the way medicine is practiced in the US. Then add, EMTALA and HIPAA. If you saw how physicians in a lot of emergency rooms diagnosed patients your heads would pop. There are good docs out there though.

  25.  @derek4412  You misunderstand the poster. They are saying you are comparing Korean data with American Asian data. The two arent the same. To do a true comparison you would need just Korean American data, which the US doesnt collect, as you stated.

  26.  @diamondback2085  Yea, they thought it would help declining numbers at mass. It didnt. Its the same type of thinking that Hollywood is making chasing the "modern audience". They simply dont exist. And even if they do, they arent the type that goes in for that kind of thing.

  27. Yet young women were the first to enter into factory work during the industrial revolution. Times are always changing.

  28.  @yeetdeets  Yes but with companies like 23andme, and others, people are finding more and more that there family isnt. Ive found 2 in my family tree, but they were back in the 1600s. My family is German, so the 30 years war was a thing. You can hire a librarian at the Vatican to go through their archives, if the local church no longer has the records due to fire or war or whatever. It is expensive though. But when you have lots of family members to help with the bill it gets much cheaper.

  29. i think data sets like these are flawed. You are look at large populations which miss something. Many of those individual women have zero children. And those who do have a more positive fertility rate, say three or four are dropped down massively by those women. The data either intentionally or unintentionally obfuscate this very known issue. The Japanese study (I cannot recall the name) of women who were married, most did have at least 2 if not three or more kids, while nearly a third of women remained unmarried and had zero. This greatly effects total fertility. The question of the later should be why. I think a lot of people who look at this are missing the forest through the trees.

  33. Births are being double counted in the county of birth and the residency of birth. So you get two. This happens in other places too. Its just its such a small amount in areas outside this because there are more hospitals that handle obstetric care in those states. I believe there were only one or two OB/GYNs in South Dakaota in the 2010s. So you would have a lot of patient movement for services.

  37. Enders Game has been on the Marine Corps recommended reading list since 1989. The burden and responsibility of authority. The lefts reaction to media like Starship Troopers is easily understandable when you look at it through the Three Telos political Model. To the leftist, both the the Liberal and the Traditionalist are to the right of them. So they are both right wing. Same with the Traditionalist, they see both the Liberal and the Progressive as leftist ideologies. Progressives want equity, Traditionalists want stability. Liberals want freedom.

  38.  @jsbrads1  Yes but those help the farmer be more productive. It doesnt replace the farmer. It would like replacing the hoe with a plow.
    2
  39.  @jsbrads1  I can tell you dont farm. Thats not the main expense. The inputs are. Seed, fertilizer and insecticides/pesticides. AI wont address those input costs. At the same time food demand is going to drop massively. Why? Decreasing populations. And that will kill huge agri business farms which are only barely profitable because of massive Federal subsidies. Those will disappear too. Small farms will be more productive with AI, but they wont be able to go full automated. The ROI vs scale wont be there. The farmer will still be needed.
    2
  40.  @jsbrads1  That will require massive capital investment. Again, there will be no ROI on it. So it wont happen. And if you havent notices, capital is getting more expensive. Its why I have bought every piece of equipment at bankruptcy auctions. You can have the highest fanciest tech. But if you are broke, game over.

  41. There are several assumptions here. The first is will AI systems be cost effective and worth the return on investment. With a massively decreasing population, output needs will be massively less. So much so that input costs of many items will make them so expensive they will just disappear. This, more than AI, will destroy entire job sectors. Things like basic legal, record keeping, and anything that is data driven will be taken over. But most of those fields have already been culled when the PC came into being. So the percentage of people effected will be much less. Then there is the issues with AI outright lying to the user as well as writing its own code to prevent modification to itself. I fully expect there to be massive legal constraints placed on AI. They simply wont be allowed to do many jobs.

  42. subconscious swipe at young women, at 29:52. 45 year old woman vs 23 or 21 year old girl.

  43. Dont believe in yourself. Believe in me. Believe in the Kamina who believes in you! Now that I think about it thats kind of like the Christian message with Jesus.

  44.  @AprezaRenaldy  imagine whole cities built without earthquake codes. Things seem stupid or fanciful until they happen. Then the finger pointing and hand wringing begins.

  45.  @IlluminaZero  But thats not what is causing the birth collapse. Is it a contributing factor, yes. But its not the main cause. The main cause is that men are not as attractive to women relatively speaking because since the 70s laws have been enacted that make pay differentials criminal. If you want women to chose to have children, they must have men they view are good enough to mate with AND support them and all their children. Feminism is diametrically opposed to this. And its not going to go away until those government structures that force that compliance falls away. The welfare is just another straw on an already broken camels back.
    2
  46.  @IlluminaZero  I would agree with you here. Ultimately it is a self correcting problem though.
    2
  47. All of these problems self resolve. But in the end, women will be the hardest hit. I dont say that to be ironic or funny, just thats how it will always be viewed. What will change is how women are viewed by men. And that may be a permanent cultural change.

  48.  @michaelhoudecki3657  If you mean selfish as in they go after their own self interest, yea I would agree. But most men do too. I have met women who have been incredibly disciplined and driven. But they are exceptions to the rule. My statement was meant to communicate that womens currently accepted behavior will be used against them in the future. We gave you freedom and you shirked your responsibility. Women currently get away with that while men are castigated in public for it. Men are just expected to be better, because they are men.

  49.  @fanOmry  You realize I always did right? You didnt mean to post to me, I think. But you are to busy trying to be right. Maybe go re read the thread, if you have any time.

  50.  @phipsdeus2  its not feminism itself is the problem, its the absolute focus on equity. Women in relationships dont want equal male partners, they want men better than them. This is the crux of the problem. Feminism kills what women ultimately want when they want to make a family. Its one of the reasons feminism, in my estimation, pushed women to work. Not because they needed to or they themselves wanted to, but that by the time these women understood what they actually wanted, it would be to late. Women in their 20s making families is what feminism kills. Its school, university, career, then slamming into 30 and freaking out that they need to have kids. So they grab the first guy that they think is suitable but arent really happy and then the marriage implodes and the kids see what happens to dad and that next generations of boys is just that much more bitter.
