#868 - Mads Larsen - The Hidden Truth About Our Collapsing Birth Rates

Yeah. So let's line this up along these bottlenecks that I talked about. So I like to view this as something that happens in three steps. First, you have to be able to find a partner. You have to date, you have to find someone, you have to agree that you're a couple. And that has become increasingly challenging. The next step is that you have to decide to have children.

And there, there are different hindrances. And then you have to be able to make one. Now, the latter one, it's not, It seems not to be that big of a deal. As you're aware, sperm quality has decreased 40% among men. But according to the experts, it's still more than good enough for making children. So it's not that we're not able to.

Now, then there are some problems for women because they postpone having children, but women, their fecundity has not decreased in all likelihood at the earlier ages. So the latter bottleneck seems not to be a real issue.

Modern Wisdom
#868 - Mads Larsen - The Hidden Truth About Our Collapsing Birth Rates

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, absolutely. But the issue is that there hasn't been changes in fecundity. Fecundity seems to be the same or better than before. So it's not that we're not able to have children, but yeah, when women start very late, then it becomes more problematic. But that is not more problematic than it used to be. It's just that women are starting later.

So then we have to look at the world. So we're in the world where birth rates, where people are still reproducing and growing, are in countries where female equality is not a very high value. And this is an important factor. This is a result of the empowerment and liberation and equality afforded to women in the process that has been ongoing in the West Sin for like 800 years.

And here it's very important for me to state that I am an enormous supporter of equality for women. I am such a big supporter of that, that I would like also women in the future to have the same rights and opportunities that women have today. If we continue down the path we are now and just self-eradicate, those populations that are left are not champions of women's freedoms.

So when we go into this and we talk about what has happened with women over the past, say, particularly 150 years, that explains... much of the first bottleneck. But describing these mechanisms and this process doesn't mean that I'm against it. I'm just describing these are the mechanisms that are at play. This is how human nature plays out in certain environments.
