@monarchist @freepatriot of the class of people who will have to support the rest, that their lives will be toil for others, and likewise, their childrens lives, will be doomed from the start to toil away for the masses.
To me it seems obvious that anyone facing this future, will always refuse offspring. Why would you want to produce offspring condemned to slavery? Makes no sense at all.
I believe that many _unconsciously_ are realizing this. The flaw here is of course the pyramid scheme of
@monarchist @freepatriot I'm still in the camp where I believe 20%-50% can be overridden by the mind and nurture. On the other hand, that means I do agree with you to 50%-80%. ;)
Another interesting aspect of this conversation is how the modern welfare state is setup to collapse because 50 (best case!) to 20 (or even less) % have to support the rest. This is of course untenable.
I wonder if the fertility crisis in the world could possibly, and in part, be due to the unconscious realization
@monarchist @freepatriot modern government, where people are seen as instruments and cog wheels with the only purpose of feeding the state. The modern state dehumanizes humans, and this of course does not build a strong society. You cannot build on a shaky foundation of exploitative values.
Then, on top of this, there are of course the problems with plastics and chemicals adding a biological angle to the fertility crisis as well.
@freepatriot With AI calling the shots, and the increase in surveillance globally, this will only happen more frequently.
Add to that, that your bank account will be automatically closed, and your digital ID will be tainted or blocked, and we can all look forward to this nice 1984 future.
Think about that, dear liberdonians, when the government wants to develop digital IDs, digital wallets, increase camera surveillance, and let AI decide who you are.
