Almost every woman I know is neutral-positive on kids but the economic precarity of having them requires you to be more selective, bc the choice between "have something I really want but it nukes my life" versus "don't get something I want but have a good life" is really easy.
I think fertility will crash to โ1.0 within 10 years in *every society* that does not have harsh peer pressure against childless women. This dynamic is not about rising opportunity costs, but about the spreading consensus that children are pointless, so models don't catch that.

I actually don't agree with this--sure, we'd like to believe that evil is this innate quality universally punished in a just karmic system but the personality traits that make someone inclined to cheat can also be traits that make them extremely successful, admirable people.
Maybe a hot take but cheaters can't be trusted not only romantically but as friends/business partners too. If they can be that disloyal to the most important person in their life, their moral character is severely corrupt and that will bleed into every aspect of their life too.

Well yeah no shit, what were the supposed to do? What is Gen Xโs deal of witnessing an explosion on TV at a time in their life when they didnโt have a developed enough brain to grasp the gravity of the situation anyway.
In 1986, school children across the nation were required to watch the launch of the space shuttle Challenger. 90 seconds later, it exploded. A teacher was one of the dead. Children didn't get counseling. School didn't close. Kids just went to their next class.
