that they don't have kids

2017-04-10 17:51:32 UTC

that's not normal

2017-04-10 17:51:36 UTC

it's never been the case, in history

2017-04-10 17:51:43 UTC

never self chosen low fertility

2017-04-10 17:52:10 UTC

you don't need to get into demographics at all. people aren't motivated by these things anyway.

2017-04-10 17:52:15 UTC

I've seen people rationalize it away as

2017-04-10 17:52:20 UTC

statistics are gay

2017-04-10 17:52:26 UTC

"oh so you are in favour of overpopulation"

2017-04-10 17:52:31 UTC

no, it's not about the number of white people per se

2017-04-10 17:52:34 UTC

it's more about, what happens

2017-04-10 17:52:41 UTC

that a living being stops valuing reproduction

2017-04-10 17:52:44 UTC

it seems like a very basic problem

2017-04-10 17:52:49 UTC

that shouldn't happen

2017-04-10 17:53:02 UTC

the exceptionalness really needs to be absorbed

2017-04-10 17:53:06 UTC

the enormity understood

2017-04-10 17:53:16 UTC

this has never, ever happened before, to any living being

2017-04-10 17:53:44 UTC

i hear that sometimes, i just kind of mock them saying something like "ok sure let's just encourage all the smart people to not breed, that'll solve all the world's problems lol"

2017-04-10 17:53:52 UTC

don't have to get into the details

2017-04-10 17:53:56 UTC

it's obvious to everyone

2017-04-10 17:54:04 UTC

but they won't do it still

2017-04-10 17:54:20 UTC

well who are we talking about though?

2017-04-10 17:54:30 UTC

people in general I guess

2017-04-10 17:54:36 UTC

i mostly get good reactions

2017-04-10 17:54:46 UTC

what they say isn't significant is it

2017-04-10 17:54:47 UTC

at least for like 1-3 kids

2017-04-10 17:55:00 UTC

if i start getting crazy with the numbers then i start losing them

2017-04-10 17:55:00 UTC

something happened to lead to this mass change in behaviour

extreme depopulation is a common feature of the decline and fall of societies. They aren't the cause of it either.

2017-04-10 17:55:06 UTC

no I understand

2017-04-10 17:55:18 UTC

so it's not abnormal per se

2017-04-10 17:55:32 UTC

an external pressure causing reduced fertility is very understandable

2017-04-10 17:55:46 UTC

there's a couple of ideas about why this has occured in modern times

2017-04-10 17:55:56 UTC

one is:

2017-04-10 17:56:48 UTC

Four healthy breeding pairs of mice were allowed to reproduce freely in a 'utopian' environment with ample food and water, no predators, no disease, comfortable temperature – a near as possible ideal conditions and space. What happened was described by the author in terms of five phases: establishment, exponential growth, growth slowing, breeding ceases and population stagnant, population decline and extinction:

2017-04-10 17:56:56 UTC

Phase A - 104 days - establishment of the mice in their new environment, then the first litters were born.

Phase B - up to day 315 - exponential population growth doubling every 55 days.

Phase C - from day 315-560 population growth abruptly slowed to a doubling time of 145 days.

Phase D - days 560-920; population stagnant with births just matching deaths. Emergence of many pathological behaviours.

Terminal Phase E - population declining to zero. The last conception was about day 920, after which there were no more births, all females were menopausal, the colony aged and all of them died.

To summarise – when four breeding pairs of mice were allowed to reproduce under ideal ‘utopian’ conditions, the colony entirely ceased to breed after three years, and then went extinct.

2017-04-10 17:57:06 UTC

I wasn't quite right about it being the only case, I guess there's this experiment too

2017-04-10 17:58:15 UTC

all this stuff goes away with a bit of encouragement. people feel alienated and scared and not confident about being good parents etc, over emphasize financial concerns. i don't think past societies who had demographic declines were paying people to breed like many western countries are now.

2017-04-10 17:58:16 UTC

"Four healthy breeding pairs of mice", aren't they inbreds?

2017-04-10 17:59:37 UTC

there's really no excuse. people just need encouragement. overpopulation is not a problem in the west at all. let fucking asia and africa reduce theirs first.

2017-04-10 18:00:07 UTC

four pairs of mice would be a quite reasonable bottleneck population that should last way more than that

2017-04-10 18:00:08 UTC

i would like less people overall in the west too under ideal circumstances but that's so far from what we have now

2017-04-10 18:00:25 UTC

let four breeding pairs of mice loose in say, some pacific island

2017-04-10 18:00:52 UTC

they would probably overrun it if conditions were right

2017-04-10 18:00:58 UTC

at least they would establish a stable population

2017-04-10 18:01:14 UTC

the issue here is also the pathological behaviours

2017-04-10 18:01:28 UTC

it's not just that they all died, they stopped breeding

According to Calhoun, such phenomena may take place in societies where the older generations live longer than usual and the population growth is still within normal limits. The elderly do not die fast enough, and the younger generations wait impatiently to take over certain social roles. The competition between generations becomes much more severe.

After time, the old and the young start behaving in a way they would never do in the wild. Along with behavioral changes, the organization of society declines.

Despite the popular name of the experiment, Calhoun failed to create utopian conditions. Quite the opposite, the main purpose of the experiment was to observe the reaction of mice when living in an overpopulated society. In order to create an actual utopian environment, the whole living area should have been enlarged before the start of phase C.

2017-04-10 18:03:07 UTC

we're not mice. this is not an issue that requires abstract scientific analysis

That too

2017-04-10 18:03:44 UTC

do the mice watch anti-mice propaganda on mice tv?

2017-04-10 18:04:09 UTC

i'm a bit rustled cuz this should be such a simple issue

In other words white people are not having kids because overpopulation is a real problem.

2017-04-10 18:05:07 UTC

ok i'm out for now. hail our people!

2017-04-10 18:05:59 UTC

it's combination of overpopulation, retarded society and lack of purpose, gil is right when he says that people should be encouraged to reproduce

Strictly speaking about mouse Utopia

2017-04-10 18:08:53 UTC

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ overpopulation itself was not an issue in Mouse Utopia because the mice had everything they wanted

2017-04-10 18:09:03 UTC

overpopulation is a malthusian issue for mankind, or considered one

2017-04-10 18:09:11 UTC

the mice did not need to compete for food

2017-04-10 18:09:15 UTC

they got everything

2017-04-10 18:09:17 UTC

food, shelter, mates

did you read the rest

2017-04-10 18:09:20 UTC

I remember that Brett wrote an article about it: http://www.amerika.org/politics/an-economics-of-survival/

2017-04-10 18:09:23 UTC

I've read it all

2017-04-10 18:09:58 UTC

I'm just clarifying this, wasn't contradicting you

ok

Fortunately in the real world the Utopia conditions aren't actually feasible

2017-04-10 18:12:55 UTC

don't have to match it to humanity 1 to 1, or even close

2017-04-10 18:13:05 UTC

there was a precipitous drop in fertility in both

2017-04-10 18:13:24 UTC

the idea is, are we (or white people specifically) at the end of the curve

2017-04-10 18:13:42 UTC

can we recognize things that look like those pathological behaviours

2017-04-10 18:13:48 UTC

in modern people

Yes but you asked "why"

2017-04-10 18:22:41 UTC

why what?

why are people not having kids

2017-04-10 18:24:29 UTC

it was rhetorical

his conclusion is intuitive to most young people, "if I can't find a place, my kids won't"

otherwise​ declines in birth rates follow trends of economic contraction once you grand an inertia of a generation or so

2017-04-10 18:32:05 UTC

you're an INTJ too, aren't you

2017-04-10 18:32:08 UTC

goddamnit

of course

2017-04-10 18:40:56 UTC

Another one lol

2017-04-10 18:41:05 UTC

That's terrific

2017-04-10 19:00:52 UTC

How @diversity_is_racism might look like, proposal 2

2017-04-10 19:02:55 UTC

yeah, no dice

2017-04-10 19:04:04 UTC

and how Brett REALLY looks like

2017-04-10 19:04:16 UTC

again

2017-04-10 19:04:24 UTC

lets see

2017-04-10 19:04:31 UTC

iBong should be good for it

2017-04-10 19:04:56 UTC

brett is swarthy

2017-04-10 19:05:02 UTC
2017-04-10 19:05:05 UTC

dude not wearing a mask

2017-04-10 19:05:38 UTC

Brett does not have a curly hair these are all judeo-bolshevik lies !

2017-04-10 19:05:48 UTC

oh, a denialist

2017-04-10 19:05:54 UTC

I respect your position
