The population boom and cycle thread

[Wutang]

Thats all definitely at least part of it. But there are other consequences for humanity. The overcrowding, too much competition, and the decay of advanced societies while other more primitive societies around them are trying to thrive, etc. Its all an *ahem* cluster-you-know-what.

I thought the opening thesis was saying that there wasn't enough competition (stressor factors) and that's what was causing less capable and more dysgenic people to be born into a population. This is the population boom that is being posited as what is ruining western society.

There is the old meme of “hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men, weak men create hard times. Hard times create strong men.” I think that cycle is highly relevant to the discussion in this thread.

All the reasons that are being given for why feminism and lower quality people are more rampant seems to have more to do with technology than the size of the population.

M:F ratio in particular, as the biology of women is not suited for selection (intrinsic lack of activity without shaming, consumption over principle) if the economy is good and attention (read:simping) is high. Those go together (see now), especially when it's multigenerational and older people/grandparents with money also spoil the (younger) women, not just parents.

Yes. Base people also are base actors meaning they do more pure survival tactics, are less aware, have less selection on sexual activity, and simp a ton as a result. R vs K selection if you've read about it (Eurasians vs other races, generally speaking).

Stay out of the medical system. It's broke anyways.

Homebirth.

All five of ours were born at home, including a twin birth. Gotta find a strong woman though.

I wonder if cash payments will come back more and more due to the obvious "prices" on paper not being real. I'm part of the system but have realized it's a crock and owned by large corp and gov't entities. To me, "health care" is a waste of spending until at least 60 if you're in good shape. I'd even travel to other countries and get check ups (they'll be the equivalent of a concierge to you) before I'd do much of this USA nonsense. The only part lacking in that is emergency care.
