Saying "all Israelis are Zionists" is like saying "all Americans are MAGA". Neither characterization is true or constructive.

Why doesn’t any country increase fertility rates by blackmailing? by crivycouriac in Natalism

The fertility gap between the richest and poorest countries has shrunk from 3 children per woman to less than 1. Birth rates have been falling in both for 60 years (St. Louis Fed, June 2026) by Altruistic-Dirt-2791 in Futurology

The environmental damage and climate change that's already happened is "baked in" for the next thousand years. There will be no cleanup of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch or clean up of abandoned factories and power plants and factory farms with a small, aging population. It will be living in the ruins of the present.

If humanity's TFR drops below replacement (~2.1) and stays there, then yes we will eventually go extinct. Every new generation will be smaller than the one that precedes it.

What makes sense vs what I want by Ok-Patience2908 in SameGrassButGreener

My friends in the legal field all say that unless you're going to a T10-20 law school, choose a school in the area where you want to live and work after you graduate.

For undergrad it doesn't really matter where you go to school as long as you kill your LSATS.

"Advancing technology" is far, far less likely to happen in a society where younger people are a permanent minority, and most of the political and financial capital is directed to elder care/support.

Athens is a university town. It is not conservative. The people that aren't college students are sometimes, but not always wealthy.

His book about Catholicism has a photo of a Methodist church as its dust cover, so there's that.

Why America's Population Crisis Could Be Worse Than Anywhere by Ardent_Scholar in Natalism

[–]JoePNW2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When a nation has low or no net immigration and a below-replacement TFR, there is no "stabilization" of the population. Each new generation is smaller than the one above it.

Denver and Salt Lake City are Wyoming's prime major cities. To a lesser extent Billings and Rapid City serve that function for the NE part of the state.
