Yes. Reducing population is not such a bad thing tho we'd hope it would stabilise in a few generations. Can't force people to have sex tho.

It is if the one's not having children are the smart ones. Mass immigration won't solve the problem. Different values

But the solution can't be to force women into breeding. That's worse than the problem. And akin to the worst values from elsewhere in world

I am writing something at the moment abt the potential problem of mass immigration to British secular, liberal democracy but values vary.

That's true, but the British character is irrevocably changed regardless. Educated women less likely to have children. Can't be good.

Not ideal but I don't see a solution unless it were for men to take on half of the childcare & flexible, reduced hours etc.

That might make women with intellectual passions & ambition more willing to have more children. If it didn't have to prevent them doing that

Yes, but you are assuming men want that. Two way street. Both 'independent' now.

No, I'm not. I'm floating hypotheticals. Men or women who want to stabilise the population could sacrifice their career goals.

Of course. But men less inclined to. Not likely to change. Like trying to eliminate hypergamy. Won't happen

OK, well no point in discussing anything then. We're doomed.

don't be so pessimistic...it might be doomed...but there are solutions (whether practical or political is the question)
