Anyone know how to recycle a billion houses?
The sterilizing meme packages. South Korea's mass suicide. Meet Simone and Malcom the pro-natalists.
“Fertility rate” refers to the average number of children born per woman of childbearing age. Sustaining a population requires a fertility rate of 2.1+
This piece is not satire.
The majority of the human population is set up to disappear by bloodline termination.
We are seeing a global failure to procreate.
Earth’s human count is tracking to drop minus 7 billion, from 9 billion to 2 billion, over the next couple hundred years. That means billions of empty buildings. A million empty cities. Anyone know how to recycle a billion houses?
The ultimate paintball field.
Ghost Earth.
Depopulation has begun in South Korea, Italy, Japan, Russia, Poland and others. All developed countries are on the brink of depopulation. Africa and parts of the Middle East, are the last remaining regions with high birth rates. Africa is staring at jarring growth in the age of record hot summers. If the weather keeps them poor, those birth rates could stay high. The future is brown.
The fertility rate determines the human population [as of 2023]. Let’s look at why global fertility rates collapsed. Then we’ll look at an effort to raise the fertility rate in Georgia.
Procreation trends inversely with wealth and education, and correlates with religion. Tech development drives wealth and education. As technology, wealth, education and secularism increase globally, the fertility rate continues to fall.
Technology drives wealth, education, and secularism; it also drives contraception technology and it’s ubiquity. Some technologies, like the internet, deters sex by disrupting “IRL” socialization, while other tech prevents sexual activity from being procreative sex.
Birth control omits you from the gene pool. Buh-bye.
Plastic wrap on the penis omits you from the gene pool. Adios.
For culture, porn is a vice. Apps are vice. Birth control is a vice. When tech creates more problems than solutions, when it kills cultures by ending bloodlines, it is a vice, not a device.
Natural selection weeds out the weak and the cowards - the ones who can’t get off contraceptives, the people who fail to live a fertile lifestyle. Cultures who fall prey to global secular techism die in adult diapers.
God selects those who control their sin. The Amish knew way ahead of time.
In Georgia, a country near Azerbaijan (between Europe and Asia) the fertility rate was 1.58 in 2003.
A fertility rate of 2.1 babies per woman is needed to avoid depopulation. The top religious man in Georgia is revered by Geogians. He announced that he will personally baptize every couple's third child. The birth rate shot up 25% to 2.05. A meaningful increase, but still less than 2.1 replacement rate. This religious gimmick won Georgia a few extra years in its current form.
Hungary spent a good chunk of its GDP trying to raise the birth rate and it failed. The promise of a third child’s baptism by a famous holy man is more effective than paying people cash for kids. '
The American equivalent would be every couple’s third child receives an Ivy league degree.
A godless, tech-ridden, over-educated culture fails to procreate. Rocks are secular. Secular cultures do not endure the test of time. Find me one.
Cell-phone addicted, birth-control cultures are on their deathbed. They don’t know it because they’re too busy watching 5 second videos.
The kingdom of God is in man. Phones crowd it out. A phone is a sterilizing meme package. Thousands of cultures are amusing themselves to zero.
Everything Addictified. Minds commoditized. Airpods are a vice. The prime de-vice is the courage to create a culture that procreates in lieu of the AirPodpocalypse.
In 2022, South Korea's fertility rate was .78. They face at least -80% population decline over 150 years. The country will be a shell of its former self. We do not know the ramifications of such a phenomenon. What strikes me is the sheer amount of unprecedented change that looms with high probability, and obliviousness of the culture.
Hundreds of millions of bison stampeding off a cliff.
An Earth with 1 billion people could be fine, but the transition phase from 9 billion humans to 1 billion humans is a hardcore culling. Earth with 1 billion humans is a global graveyard of towns, cities, countries and cultures.
Will you be an old person in a ghost town, dependent on robots for food?
I see infectious sterilizing meme packages at every turn. Video games. The woke mind virus. The meme that hormone therapy to eliminate ~6 fertile days per month is a good idea.
More so now than ever, the remaining mothers are pressing the save button on humanity. That is to say, saving humanity.
The parents and caretakers of children, who are creating a culture where children are loved, and want to keep humanity going, are saving humanity. A great grandparent is a successful parent.
“We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost…
The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…
Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
… let us use that power - let us unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security.”
Charlie Chaplin
Final Speech from The Great Dictator
Malcolm and Simone Collins of Collins Institute and ProNatalist.org
“[the fertility problem] will not become obvious in an economy until after it is too late.
You don’t notice… the population does not begin to rapidly drop until after it cannot be fixed.
The rural white groups are going to be fine. The groups that are not fine are the ones seeing really low birth rates.
Do we see the future as apocalyptic or bright? The answer is yes, to both. Children of Men of is not a likely outcome.
All the low birth rate cultures are sterilizing memes. They will go extinct, because they’re not having kids.
If just five families, from each low birth rate culture, that is endangered, is able to build an intergenerationally durable culture, it will survive. We don’t need everyone to have kids. We need a few people to figure out. There will be a big choke point. A lot of people aren’t going to make it through. That’s OK. The future is going to be bright.
Our hope is the future will be pluralistic.
To be clear, it gets worse before it gets better.
We are about to enter a world where A.I.’s are dating people.
We live in a world today, where even just to find a partner, if you are at all motivated by hedonism, you are going to be hard selected out of the gene pool. Right now, it is pretty hard selection, but it’s going to get so much harder. You’ll be able to simulate Andrew Tates lifestyle in a VR environment. The average person can do this in 20 or 30 years. That’ll be something our kids will have to choose between, and trying to live an efficacious meaningful life in the real world. A lot of cultures are just going to be deleted from the timeline because of that. And that makes us sad.
Most technophilic cultures have died out. Technophobic cultures make it…
Broken relationship and partner finding markets are playing a huge role in low birth rates. [Malcom and Simone are trying to resurrect] London season, a series of social gatherings.
The nature of relationships needs to be revisited to make parenting more sustainable. The nuclear family is an aberration, an unsustainable blip.
Treating children like human pets and a partner like a concubine.
The criteria for a partner used to be, value-aligned, willing to work with.
By the way…
A.I. finally frees the bourgeois from the proletariat. The most likely scenario, A.I. dramatically consolidates power.
Humans who suffer, are also motivated to survive. Without suffering, you don’t get organisms. You can’t have progress, you can’t have any form of functionality, without suffering. That is to say any form of negative feedback.
Simone: we’re not heading to an idiocracy, we’re heading toward an ISISocracy. Technophobic, misogynistic cultures. So buckle up.”

Pronatalist.org is creating co-parenting communities, facilitating the creation of loving families, ands working toward a soft landing for declining birth rates.
