Spotted Toad added,
changes in reproductive technology may have opposing selection and treatment effects ie, it's likely technologies to suppress reproduction make culture(women in particular)more liberal-but if more liberal women opt into them they also make electorate more conservative in long run
children entering voting age today (if not children of immigrants) not only were conceived at time when abortion/birth control widely available, but *their parents* conceived on avg at time when abortion/birth control were widely available. 2 gens is plenty for a selection effect
basically status is the real social surplus and the further away from family you direct status-seeking behavior, the faster you burn through your strategic reserve of try-hards
yes, status consumption vs familial consumption is a real axis of choice i think. sometimes i'm floored by how cheap it is to buy decent food for 5 at a contemporary us grocery store.
the cheapness can easily be overstated but basically, the only ways in which low status can hurt kids are if they later decide to pursue status in some form
yeah, there are ways it's incredibly expensive to be a us parent, but they tend to be day-care, housing in expensive metros, etc. to the extent that jobs are contingent on these things, it's expensive to be a parent, to the extent that they are not, it's about status.
right. and it may be hard for kids to socialize if their standard of living is markedly different... but so then, homeschool... which is only a problem if later they want to fit in at college...
humans can't overlook status (a point you've made many times). for humans it's like cutting off your nose to spite your face. but it's *interesting* that nobody-nobody! says,you know if i moved to central PA and shopped at walmart i could *easily* afford 4 kids on one 50k income.
It's why religiosity is such a great driver of fertility because it redirects the status seeking impulse of women in particular
yes, WGD (whose @ for some reason isn’t showing up on the auto-select) makes this pt all the time
