Yeah, those are terrifying numbers and that we're not sounding the alarm and refusing to talk about it. It makes you feel like you're in that movie, Don't Look Up. I mean, the asteroid is heading straight for us, but out of misplaced concerns, political concerns, confusion, we're not willing to accept the facts the way they are. And I've experienced that in Norway over the past months.

I've talked to quite a few of the leading experts and the people that research fertility, people that work on this in the government, and they all have this unified approach to this, that we can't portray this as a negative thing. This is what they research. This is all they do.

And they are concerned, but they're afraid that if they tell people how serious this is, somehow the politicians won't take them seriously. They will think they're alarmist. This could affect their career and their funds. And they're hoping, like the current strategy among commentators in the media and among researchers,

is that somehow those children that weren't born when women were in their early 20s and late 20s and early 30s will now over the next 10 years be born when women are in their late 30s and early 40s. So there's no data that supports that this will happen, but the researchers are assuming that if we just wait

10 years, perhaps the fertility rate in best case scenario will go up to 1.7 because women around 40 will start having so many children that it really boosts the fertility rate. And that could happen.

It's not impossible, but it's a really puzzling strategy after we waited now for 15 years while this has plummeted that we should wait 10 more years before we portray this negatively because the rate could go up over the next 10 years.

Yeah, no, I mean, we will get there. South Korea, the government there is pretty clear. They said not too long ago that this is the point of no return. If we don't get the fertility rate up now, we're going to disappear. We're not there yet. This is a process. Finland is a little bit ahead of Norway. A colleague of mine, she's been running the debate there for three years.
