    Population decline is a significant problem in the West and will have wide-ranging impact.

    This.

    Smart people need to make mor babies. I thought @swaye would go through life as a hedonist. But alas he did the right thing and filled the papoose with a (legitimate) genetic copy.
    I’ve always intended to research the reason for the inverse relationship between prosperity and fertility. But never get beyond football and military/history reading.

    Hes a liberal faggot. But It's a decent article.

    One thing that stood out when talking about people having less sex...

    "The trend extends far beyond the U.S. According to the Japan Family Planning Association, 45 percent of women ages 15–24 “were not interested in or despised sexual contact,” and more than a quarter of men said they felt the same way."

    J?

    The Atlantic is left of center but still has good journalism.
    The article isn’t lamenting lower birth rates, it’s lamenting low birth rates by a certain type of person. Others are still fucking like rabbits.

    There are plenty of people being born and a low birth rate isn’t the problem. It’s the birth rate of certain populations that is the issue and the article skirts that issue.

    I think current native born fertility in the US is something like 1.8 and 2.1 is replacement. Certainly not to the disastrous levels of Europe or Japan. But we do have a problem on our hands of not enough smart and successful people listening to Barry White and making babies.
