These are some hard hitting facts.

Yeah. People don't start families because life has become completely unaffordable. Housing. Food. Education. Healthcare. People are getting exploited, extorted, and they're burned out by the time they have 5 minutes for themselves.

What an astute guy. I hope he meets someone and has children, I bet he'd make a great dad.

Butlerian Jihad !

This is a sad reality for the first time in history humans are choosing not to have families. We have created such a toxic environment we not longer want to bring children into it.

When you demonize men for their nature to reproduce while giving them foods that make them overweight, demonizing sports and physical activity so their testosterone drops, teach them to hate themselves for what is natural to them, you get men who would rather sit at their parents home playing video games jerking off as a simp to only fans porn, you get less kids. You also get broken defeated self hating men. Meanwhile female empowerment has women taking off their clothes masterbating for strangers online and making 100's of thousands, and even millions of dollars so no man will ever be good enough for them, waking up to old and to jaded toward men to have a family. No doubt importing millions into the country, puts a home and a good paying job out of reach for those same young men. It is simple supply and demand, the basics of economics. It is no surprise that population is crashing, not by some mystery but by a very obvious series of events by design.

I would HATE to grow up now. I’m Gen X and I had plenty of tech as it came thru. But when we went out, no one recorded us. We were uncontactable which was bliss. You didn’t have to worry that ever has a sodding VCR or high res cameras in their pockets. Honestly today it’s an absolute mare - and don’t even start me on those stalker glasses. Those are an absolute nightmare invention. I’ve been a geek all my life and the way that tech has evolved just in my lifetime is ridiculous. But, kids now can’t breathe without someone recording it…

“No one is having children” yeah if you forget about all the third worlders we bring in that have like 20 kids each

Its women! Women are not having kids because we've seen how marriage and motherhood cam destroy a woman's life and we're rejecting that. Millenials are also significantly less selfish generation and therefore don't want to bring kids into poverty!

No people are not having kids because nobody's paid enough and everything is too expensive

Animals, don't have access to contraception or abortion. Slut shaming, or in most/some cases the option to say no. I also noticed that 'in the club' he highlight's men getting rejected... over the horrors women and young girls deal with. Other than that... on point.

He’s sitting there with a bunch of boomers—guys who, fresh out of high school, could rent a halfway decent house with their girlfriends for less than a tenth of what they earned working at a restaurant and then starts rambling vaguely about cyberpunk...

Not everyone has food. It's all well and good saying GDP has gone up, but the government does nothing to help people.

Actually, no they are not, they are hard hitting excuses. Where in history have the common people not lived in constant misery, until the industrial age hit. Even then, misery was quite common around the world. The internet, social media, and influencers are not your problem. Your reliance on them is. Go out and live.

Top fertility rates:

@cheryl_marlin We understand our hormones and the world is scary and very expensive.

Im 32. All my friends have 1-2 kids and want 1-2 more

I know 4 couples who have had kids in their 40s though. Also, there are more humans on earth today than ever before, we’re in no danger of running out, it’s fine.

I have a niece and a nephew who both don't want kids just because of how the world is.

Actually, people are having fewer kids mainly for two reasons: economy, and access to contraceptive methods. And that's actually good news. The world average number of children per couple is leaning towards a 2.5 average, which avoids the risk of overpopulation.

Reject digital. Embrace Analog.

He is completely correct

He has several hypotheses, not facts. Actual research: (Claudia Goldin et al) argue that much of the fertility drop stems from a temporary mismatch: women’s rapid gains in education, careers, and reproductive control outpaced men’s adjustment in household labor and norms. Where fathers take on more childcare, workplaces are more flexible, and social expectations treat dual-earner families as normal, the opportunity cost of children falls and fertility tends to be higher. Cross-country patterns fit this—Nordic countries long combined high female employment with relatively higher fertility than Southern Europe or East Asia precisely because of stronger gender-equal norms and policies at home and work

Tech no logica will be and is the downfall of humanity. He isnt wrong.

After decades of people telling us the world is overpopulated and we are running out of basic supplies like water, many of us decided that 'One or none' was the way to go. Given the lack of jobs, the rise of AI and the continued burning of our planet, I think we're right.

Correct, but he doesn't mention the cost of living and housing. People in their 40s can't buy a house, how could they raise kids?

Brilliant, this guy is thinking out of the box. Way ahead of his time, astute, a visionary, logical. A complete breath of fresh air. Is he trying to look like Jesus, well done you've nailed it.

Bang on.

Understand that your privacy is your freedom; do not let the tech companies own you and your history. This is an important concept, yet people shrug it off.

Coinsucking boomers propped up the worst of Gen X… I have realized that comparing the tech idiots to guys I grew up with that were fkd over by the discriminative idiot factory of fear controlled proud boy puppets.

People ain’t having sex because of the internet Very interesting

Also, why would any sane couple want to bring children into this shit world when the future of the planet is so bleak. No jobs, less jobs soon due to AI, unaffordable homes, unaffordable education, in America's case no healthcare, climate change and endless wars. No thanks.

1st worlders arent, 3rd worlders popping out 3 or 4 of them........for 1st worlders to pay for.

Megadeth's drummer is right

Its not technology its biology. Women have abandoned their primary responsibilty for the sake of a life that doesnt exist. Men could drag them out of it but have collectively decided the fights not worth it when they can be comfortable in their self made isolation pods

Connor is grest but this is a big miss tbh. People aren't having kids because it turns out that when you have good conditions and education most people simply don't want kids or only want one. This is consistent across the world. The better off you are the less you breed.
