Our species is literally on track for self inflicted extinction. The fertility crisis is much worse than popular media admits, this article does a very good job of laying out the problem.

BUT it ignore variation across populations. It exclusively looks at national averages and global average.

The Amish arent having a fertility crisis. The Muslims arent having a fertility crisis. The Mormons arent having a fertility crisis. (Lets not even get started on inner city blacks)

This is the single largest selective event in the history of humanity. For years I compared it to the black plague but that was way underselling it. The genetic composition of the human race in 200 years will look profoundly different than it does today. We (mainstream modern, Western, White civilization) have lost and there is no mathematically realistic path out of our decline.

Yeah but look on the bright side, once all the whites are gone the world's problems will solve themselves and racism will magically disappear!

The 2 main categories for high birth rates are

1) Uneducated and poor
2) Religious people who think god will reward them for breeding like rabbits

Those two categories also overlap a lot

Putting aside whether you believe in any religion, I don't think thats a fair summary of their behavior or motivation.

Having enough kids to put the population well above replacement levels is what happens naturally if you just fuck and don't interfere with the process. And its generally interfering with the process that religions object to, not rewards for maximizing the number of kids.

Suppose you have a hobby of killing hookers or whatever this guy was doing. You don't get caught for years but record all of it on a GoPro and keep SD cards of your fun times.

A homeless woman breaks into your car to fund her meth habit and finds it. Sees the crime and turns you into the police.
