constructed your own family and career pathway because i've been working with my wife trying to sketch out she does a podcast on issues related to femininity um and we've been trying to sketch out at least hypothetically something like a appropriate timeline for young women because they have real no no real guidance in that so here's a stat for you um We hit this milestone last year.

Half of Western women, 30 and under, have no child. So it's a little more than half now. So we hit more than half. Half of them will never have a child. And 90% of them will regret it. That means we're setting up. This is a catastrophe. This is a catastrophe, if it's true. And the data are pretty clear, I believe. This means we're setting up one woman in four for isolation, right?

And that gets increasingly brutal as you get older. And I also think we're setting up that 25% of women to be preyed upon in a manner like nothing we've ever seen when they enter their later years, because they'll have no one to keep an eye out for them, especially during times of vulnerability. This is not going to be good.

So let me sketch out an idea for you in terms of a timeline and tell me what you think about that. I mean, one couple in three have fertility problems by the age of 30. And that's defined as not being able to conceive within a year of trying. And so it seems pretty obvious

all assistive reproductive technology notwithstanding, which is very expensive and very unreliable and certainly not something to be depended on except in cases of absolute necessity. Having your children before you're 30 is a wise move if you want to ensure that it's going to happen. And so then the question is,

You know, we're best served probably as human beings to have our children in our homes, and probably our early 20s. And of course, that's going to be more demanding for women, more demanding and more of an opportunity, I would say, because each child really requires something approximating three years of pretty dedicated care.

You know, the data seem to show that if your child is three and reasonably social, then social education, daycare, can work. Before that, especially with transformation of caregivers, it doesn't look like it's a very good idea. So you need three years per child. And maybe you want two children or three children.

And so that's something like, I don't know, five or six years that you have to devote to it. Now, women live about six or seven years longer than men. So that's kind of an interesting little twist on the whole situation. And if you started your career at 30, you could have 40 years of career, which is a lot. And
