Palmer Luckey warns that falling birth rates threaten the world’s economic future: “We’re outsourcing the maintenance and growth of our population to other people.” 🇺🇸🌍 “People who can have kids and do not are effectively, whether they mean to or not, saying, ‘My time is too valuable. I’m outsourcing the maintenance and growth of our population to other people whose time is less valuable than mine.’ I think that leads to a really bad mental split between elites and the breeding population. The United States has a problem, but we’re not as bad as South Korea, which is down to 0.67 children per woman. Military-age men are a reasonable proxy for economic productivity—starting companies, building industries, and carrying out military operations. South Korea has military problems, but they’re rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic if North Korea ends up with a vastly larger military-age population. How can you compete economically or militarily when your population is shrinking so dramatically?” Europe, Canada, United States, Japan, South Korea, Korea, China. We’re seeing a divergence between birth rates and the growing demand for economic growth. As population numbers unwind, we’ll no longer be able to maintain the same output we currently are. The result ends in the world economy beginning to fail.
