Both rates have been collapsing pretty much worldwide. And
we're headed to, you know, a situation where
, for example, based on current birth rates,
South Korea would have about a third of its current
population, perhaps much less. Um Europe would have
about half of its current current population, perhaps much
less. And I should say those numbers are,
if the birth rate were suddenly to return to sta
to, to 2.1 per woman, which is a
stability point, um which is, it is not
doing so if, if the, if, if
, if the current compounding effect continues, um you
would see really um many countries become 5% of their
current size or less within three generations. I know
you've been doing, I would consider that to be
a very big, very big column. Um And
, and I think for most countries, they should
view the birth rate as, as the single biggest
problem they need to solve. Um I mean,
if you don't make new humans, there's no humanity
and, and all the policies in the world don't
matter. I know you've been doing your part to
maintain the birth rate in, in the US.
I mean, you know, it's, you've got
to walk the talk. Um, so I do
have a lot of kids and I encourage, I'll
just have lots of kids.
