Let me support that for a second. Hold that thought for a second. The substrate switching that's going on right now with wealth... So if you look at, and there's reasons this, preface it, some of this might not be good in terms of outcome, but here's what's happening. So I'm going to describe it. Fertility rates against wealth.

If you look at that, highest fertility rates down to the lowest, wealth going this way. The wealthiest countries over here and our fertility rates are below replacement of 2.1.

The poorer you are, the higher your fertility rates are. Because you need kids for one thing to do the basic agrarian kinds of things and they die of a tooth infection or diarrhea. It's morally awful in a modern world, so-called. But it isn't fertility rates driving wealth. It's wealth pulling down the fertility rates.

And part of the reason that's happening is, you just described it, we have a brain. People are saying we choose not to have as many kids. Morally, religiously, we could talk about that and you'll be better than me, but this is just what's happening. So the fertility rates in almost every country in the world have been plummeting in the last 30 years, except Africa.

50 megawatt hours, 50,000 bucks. In 2075, most demographers agree now, given the current trends in fertility rates plummeting, population in this world will peak. And it won't plateau, Jordan. It plummets. It plummets.

I think so too.
