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

Well, people are people and in the cultural moment that we live now, those kind of accusations are the weapons available. So when I presented my research for the Norwegian Fertility Institute a few weeks ago, They had been so amazed at how I, this summer, had been able to elevate this debate about low fertility to the national level and trigger a really fiery debate on it.

They had tried to do that for years, but they weren't successful. The reason why they weren't successful is because they didn't portray this as the problem that is as serious as it is. while I said that this was an existential threat and that we need to look at how mating markets work, why is modern dating so dysfunctional?

And then I described using the evolutionary sciences, what it is about female and male mating psychology that in our current environment creates a stratification that contributes to single them that then results in low fertility. So the way I see this, there's There's several bottlenecks in the pipeline between being single and having a child.

And then I describe the different hindrances along that pipeline. And of course, especially in a culture like the Norwegian one, a very social democratic culture, the evolutionary sciences are not broadly embraced, to say it mildly.

Newspaper commentators, experts, even the leader of the birth rate committee have disproven my positions, about 10 or 20 of them. But the weird part is when they write these articles to disprove my positions, not a single time have they argued against the position I actually have. It's been exclusively strawman. which is a little bit predictable too, and it's okay.

I just want this debate to get started, and now it has started. And if that means that I have to just endure all those weird attacks and personal attacks and being discredited, well, hopefully I'll be able to be in this for the long haul, and I hope to contribute more productively with time. But right now the debate is going, and for that I'm thankful.
