I watched this some time ago and found it quite interesting.

The real question on my mind though has always been;
What is causing the decline in fertility?

We are too many and too evil ... our body knows that.
Also age of fertility doesn't match with age of reproduction, best gash we can do to nature.
We are fertile around 12 - 15 years old, but we can reproduce around 30 - 35 years old (if evrything goes according to plans), we are rejecting the most great power we have, youth, limiting everything they can do, included having children.
Youth has the most creative minds, will to power, physical strenght, sex appeal, everything ... they are the best resource we have, that's why many of us are scared by them.
Everyone, that has ever opened a book in its life, knows that there is no future without youth, litterally .... and our youth play videogames, do drugs and live at night, why?
Cause nobody summon them anymore, old men don't teach them anymore, nobody care about them, nobody tells them tales .... young people are worth nothing in our society, we are so fucking dumb. That's why.

I would rather drink and do drugs (or play videogames) all the night, where people talk to me, consider me, we dance and listen to music together, than living during the day where nobody consider me, nobody talk to me, nobody teach to me. That's what happens at some unconscious level.

We think it's normal, I can tell you for sure it's not. It's never been like that in the past, youth were essential, not long ago, but not anymore.

EDIT: And it's better I don't talk about schools, where we rate youth instead of teaching to them ... oh god.

Back in the days you had to make lots of children, because half of them died very young. And you needed somebody to take care of you when you get old. Also there was no contraception.
These days you dont need 10 children to take care of you when you get old, you dont need even one... for now!

Well I was asking about the drop in fertility specifically. Not the lower birthrate. I'm also going to say that having kids young is dumb.

I will respond to your disapointment regarding the lack of interest shown toward young people. Young women face no issues. There is a thriving trade between older men and younger women and older women and younger women. Information in exchange for services rendered in the former, information freely given in the latter.

This is not new.

The new element from my perspective is a growing envy among the older people toward the younger. Young people now have the potential for a better future than the old people could have ever imagined. And they will be left out.

1. School doesn't prepare as nearly as it should any kids. We could argue parents should fill in with that, but, oh irony, parents are just kids having kids nowadays, since they often can't "grown up" enough to teach their kids serious thinks and prepare them for their future life.
2. Knowledge of old was always there. Don't You know the saying "kids never listen to olders?"
3. Well, I think the reason why the best time of "fertility" passes is because... many reasons like, getting better jo(r)b to have more money, so You can have some financial pillar or wanna have a your own place to grown roots and babies or (and etc.) as well as You have to find a correct women, which must be at least a good material for a mother, many says it's difficult those days, as girls are picky, but on the other hand, there's so many women that woke up at age of 40 or later, that they waste their lifes on career and biological clock is tick tocking to end. Time just passess on stuff before we are ready "mentally and from financial side" but nature has it's own rythm.
4. There's many countries where people argue why more rich people have 1-2 kids, while poor people go as far as they can... well, rich people usually don't want to or don't have time for more babies, however stupid it sounds, while poor people are often associated with pathology where kids are just just offsprings of "good alcohol after party".
5. World is so unfriendly. In the past it was either if "kid survives or not" where now it is, that media of any sorts fill us all with so much bullcrap, sad stories from all over world, people not getting well with high taxes or getting overworked... Depression kicks in af.
6. And the worst part of having a kid is that even if You do everything 100% good and make all your kids good, all it takes is one sneaky boi in their school or something like that, to turn them bad way and make you lose control very fast...


I don't blame people for going in for alcohol... but that's not leading anywhere.

Yea. Anything could happen. I think a lot of old people would rather see the world destroyed than for the youth of today to end up with more than they could have ever imagined. Thing is... The young people would have to let them ruin the future by participating in its destruction. So far I think young people have been doing an excellent job of helping the old people ruin everything.

Because young people are honestly pretty dumb, and being raised to stay that way.

And do you think having children at age of 40 wouldn't have any consequences? When nature made us to have children at age of 20 or less?
We want to adjust the world, the nature, the reality to us .... but, it's better if we adjust ourselves to the world. That's our main problem.

'Do not think, oh petty man, that this earth has been made for you. You will rather be right if you adjust yourself to the universal harmony '

What makes You think I do not think of that? I just simply pointed out one of many problems of this world. Having kids at age of 30 is not bad it doesn't matter much than from 20. But above 40 there's many problems that can happen but it doesn't mean it will.


As for your quote to response, to adjust ourself to nature would go against the everything that world stands for. Mostly against bad things than good tbh.
