It is interesting that figures likd tim pool and the quartering (no longer watch unless great guest) are childless but have millions of dollars as they tell us to have kids (i have one and hopefully another coming). These ppl aren't on our side but they are useful to bring ppl to us, that's how i got here. Have kids guys. Our grandparents parents had them duting the great depression then had theirs after the deadliest war in hjman history. Its never the "right time", its always the right time. Just do it. You will be fine.

It's worth worth noting for those that don't follow the Collins, they aren't ignorant of these issues. They just underplay the severity of them and are perhaps overconfident in their solutions. For example, to solve the community issue they have plans to start a Collins institute summer camp in a few years, where everybody who's broadly aligned can have their kids come together. They also *feel* like they have strong community, as certainly have a strong intellectual community, and I believe they seem personally confident in how they've much inroads they've made with the silicon valley elite with their ideas. It's miniscule, but I don't think their own narrative on it is bullshit. My biggest critique of that is that an intellectual community isn't the kind of community that sustains a family. Also, I'd love to see blackhorse or radlib on Malcolm's channel talking about this. Perhaps Malcolm would be open to you nominating somebody else to the open invite you have to be on their channel.

Dave Greene and Lorgar Aurelian are ringing in my head as I listen to this podcast.

Did everyone else get an ad every few minutes on this one? A lot more than usual

I enjoyed this

Say what you want about Malcolm but at least he puts his money where his mouth is. Most of the DR doesn’t as well as a huge portion of the talking heads being childless into their mid/late 20s and 30s.

How dare you drag down the status of "Shakespearean scholar"

Hey Black Horse. Pro tip: when your host sets you up to define basic terms...not the time to dive into birthrates in 1850, and introduce new terms like TFR without defining it.
