Millennials say no to kids, population 'replacement level' turns negative

because draft horses weren't breed to do so but if we allowed horses pick their own mates and allowed natural selection take over and if the key to survival was to be fast all horses in general would be fast

 

Why would I want to bring a child into this desolate ****ing earth? Every avenue of a better future is being cut off. It's better that my lineage die with me than live through that bullshit.

 

Is it, or is it inevitable?

C'mon Marxist, pick a history to believe in.

 

Japan's problem is housing and rents are very expensive where the jobs are. Japan is a small country with a high population density. So bringing in more people wouldn't necessarily help. You make things more crowded it would probably drive the rents up even more, which is one of the main reasons to begin with the people are avoiding marriage.

Adding more people isn't necessarily going to solve the problem if there are not good paying jobs available to them all. As has already been noted by a few different contributors in this thread, that's part of the reason in the first place the fertility rate (especially white fertility rate) has gone down so low.

In other words, the lower fertility rate is a result of a more underlying problem, and you're not going to solve all the problems resulting from fewer workers by just adding more people.

In Japan, for example, there's plenty of young men who can't find stable long-term employment, while at the same time they're claiming they can't find enough people to take care of the old. Presented with these two facts, most people would see a disconnect, but if you understand what I'm trying to say in this post you should be able to make sense of it.​

 

LMAO...... sadly you really believe that......

 

educate yourself

Natural selection
https://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Natural_selection

 

You are dealing with someone who thinks that a child's IQ is genetically based on an average of the IQ of its parents. You may have to start more basic than that.

 

its only two paragraphs long
if he has trouble comprehending that there is no hope for him and he should stop embarrassing himself

 

Do you know what the concept of outbreeding depression is? Just as too much inbreeding is not generally a good thing, the extreme opposite of that isn't necessarily a good thing either.

I'm aware of countless examples in the plant kingdom where mixing two different "types" of the same species can alternately result in either hybrid vigour, or some degree of incompatibility where the offspring are not as vigorous, more vulnerable to disease, and sometimes partially sterile. In fact the latter occurs with much more frequency than the first.

 

Again, he thinks that a child's IQ is genetically based on an average of its parents' IQs. It sounds like basic concepts are the issue, not just the length of the material.

 

In general that's true. There's obviously going to be a statistical correlation.

Of course it's not as simple as 1 + 1 = 2

 

Looks like Millennials have gone on strike and are not reproducing. I wonder if anyone else is going to care.

Judging by the growth of the national debt, it seems like people don't care about the far off future after they're already going to be dead.

 

no its not best educate your self on dominate and recessive genes
a short person having off spring with a tall person doesn't generally give you medium size children
it depends on which gene is recessive and which gene is dominate that dictates height
genes generally don't mix and give you the average between the two it usually is one or the other and some genes are dominate over others meaning you are more then likely have the passed down trait of the dominate gene over the recessive gene

 

Oh that's what you were getting at.

They actually do, since in many cases there are multiple different genes affecting the same trait.

A lot of these traits are not as simple as Mendelian genetics.
​

 

genetics is the result of ones environment they go hand in hand one evolves through natural selection and develops the genetics to survive the best in their given environment if small frame humans survive better in the type of environment they live most of that race will be small

 

That's the niche grandparents have usually filled.

 

the gene that produces brown eyes is dominate over the gene that produces blue eyes so if one parent has brown eyes and the other has blue the off spring will have a higher chance of haveing brown eyes over blue

 

Make things more crowded? Their population is going backwards. That is a disaster for a country...especially one with the highest debt-to-GDP in the world (by a MILE) and an aging population.

Japan's problem is they are an INCREDIBLY inward looking people...they simply do not like non-Japanese people to mix into their culture. Period.

'I was recently invited to speak with Sakanaka at a symposium titled “Immigration Nation Japan?” In contrast to Sakanaka’s unbridled optimism, I argued that Japan has little prospect of becoming a “migrant nation” anytime soon. My argument centered on the still-dominant and pervasive discourse of “homogeneous Japan,” which manifests itself in the policymaking domain as the “no-immigration principle.”'

Japan is a mess under the surface and they had better drop this prejudicial 'homogeneous Japan' outlook and/or DRASTICALLY cut their debt or they are in for some massive economic problems down the road.

 

Personally I see the baby boomers as the most self-centered generation. As far as Millennials go would you have kids if you were a millennial? Keep in mind the concept of a married couple looking after kid that they brought into this world is almost passe.

Would you marry a woman knowing full well she can leave you take your kids and half of everything you earn for the rest of your life? That's the world we live in.

 

LOL....of course it is based largely on genetics:

'IQ is in the genes

How parents raise us has no impact on how smart we become, a new study finds'

https://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/iq-genes

'Intelligence genes discovered by scientists

Imperial College London has found that two networks of genes determine whether people are intelligent or not so bright.'

Where is your link to an UNBIASED SOURCE that proves that IQ is NOT based on genetics?

 

You can have both - less people means more relevant education, I guess, to fill more essential roles.

 

Only for a while.

 

Ohgawd, not this crap again....whining about how black women have the same right as white women to have an abortion....

...and the hilariously phony and oh-so-draaaaamatic, ""Nothing sadder than self inflicted genocide""...I've read your posts, I doubt you think this was bad even if it was genocide and it isn't....


Now prove that all those women were forced to have abortions .....or prove that black women shouldn't have the same rights as white women...do something to back up your silly , overused, trite, meaningless, and oft debunked idea that black women having rights means genocide.....

 

Thank you for showing responsibility, maturity and intelligence by at least thinking about it....most people can't think past "Kids" without even a question mark after it...

 

i have some very complicated views about determinism and free will that i'm not even going to attempt to unpack right now
