Birth rates among Europeans / Westerners

Mao is dead.

Yes, that's what we wanted you to think.

Fuck, I have fallen for it.

If a demographic cannot be bothered to breed then perhaps it's time to let it die out.

Between sub-replacement birth rates, abortion and endemic violence, American Blacks are in a pretty bad state; does this same logic apply to them?

I voted cost of bringing up a child, and fear for the child's future, as those are two big ones.

But I couldn't help but notice that environmental reasons were absent. Those are pretty significant too, so it's a bit of a false dichotomy.

1. It seems that unnamed scientist was right given we've still yet to manage to leave the solar system or just create a colony on Mars.

2. Not more than it already is which is very, very unlikely.

3. Shit rant aside, I see you're by your own admission a traitor to the human race. Utterly disgusting.

4. It's still a shit one and not much of an argument, tho .

1. That just is there to prove my point. Also, the thing preventing us from creating a colony on Mars, for that matter, isn't technological barriers for the most part, it's mostly lack of political will. Private space companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are far more likely to colonise Mars than NASA or CNSA.

2. Bear in mind I am planning on a STEM career in the future

3. If the human race, for the sake of argument, entirely shuns transhumanism, sooner or later it will destroy itself out of its own stupidity one way or another (nuclear war, climate change, antimatter weaponry, grey goo etc.) - in that hypothetical reality that would become more and more likely as technology advances

4. Ok, it's a shit argument. Doesn't change much though.

There are actually enormous technological barriers to colonising a dead planet like Mars, but OK.

Despite all this fretting about SUB-REPLACEMENT O NOES, the populations of American whites, non-Hispanic whites and blacks don't seem to be experiencing any sort of decline, nor displacement. Each census brings a new record population of whites, non-Hispanic whites, and blacks. By a hilarious margin, each time - with the exception of the 1860/70 census.

Think of the awesome tech we have to develop for that. And how that awesome tech will enable us to spread cat videos and cheese.

Good

Less screaming infants in public; baby are annoying as hell

I support this state of affairs

Look, if Matt Damon can do it with some potatoes I'm sure we can do it too. We could easily manage to double his potato output.

Does he have Irish ancestry? That might affect his output

Well, if they don't want to breed, then yes.

Well, with our current scientific knowledge we could try and have a reasonable chance of success

Screw that also great way to make it so people who enjoy having sex with their partner and who enjoy the closeness it makes have too many children. Children they cannot afford.
Already exist Seems rather illegal Screw that, make it so men are restricted instead, afterall they can raise children just as well as women.

If we want people to have many children, I'd restrict the sex that has to take long periods to recuperate from it.

In especially dire cases, like Finland, import high fertility, high skill immigrants with the promise of generous treatment from the government. Yes, this would mean importing religious fanatics, but if liberalism is true then their children will all apostatize and be secular anyway and if it isn't then we need more religious fanatics.

...please tell me you are being sarcastic.

There are too many damn babies in this world, not not enough. And who the hell really still cares if certain hair and skin colors disappear someday in some unforeseeable future? It's time to grow up and stop caring about that petty shit. We'll live jut fine without blonde people, we won't be nearly so fine with our resources being spread thinner and thinner.

As for your poll: How about, "Recent realization that children aren't necessary to have a fulfilling life because we're not all a bunch of peasant farmers living on the edge of survival anymore"? The only people who should be having kids are people who actually want kids, not people who feel like they have to. That causes a worse culture, not a better one.

It's not fair because blonde women turn me on a lot for one thing. What is wrong with humans having different hair and skin colors?
