I think people would still find joy in having children and founding a family, but no porn, no sex for fun. Sex would only be made between a man and woman to procreate.

Birth rates plummeted because of three reasons:
a) The chunk of the population that can acquire a residence with a floorspace they personally consider to be reasonable has plummeted
b) The chunk of the population that is confident enough to date somebody long-term has plummeted
c) The amount of free time the population has plummeted. Ironically we work less hours than in the early 20th century but commute times have skyrocketed. People with 8 hour work days spend up to 16 hours outside of the house, and that's just San Jose.
What we need is a government program to set up spacious communities for knowledge workers to work from home where commute times and distance doesn't matter. Doesn't matter if it's left or right wing as long as the economic part gets done, but staffing this with a class of willing support workers is extremely tough.

Not to a huge extent. There are two types of LGBT:
>people prone to propaganda who do it to advance their social standing by demanding compassion and/or power from their peers
>"born this way" people who possess dysgenic traits - and where there is one, there are many. So even though these people would not find pleasure in sexual activities, they would still be less likely to reproduce and live normal fulfilling lives like their normal human counterparts

Virtually universal institutional support - government, media, corporations, NGOs. Remember this "LGBT-friendly" environment 10 years ago? I don't. Nobody does. This trend accelerated in the past 10 years to the point you have to be a blind fool to pretend it's all natural. It's not that <individual company X> is plotting with <individual company Y> to turn your son gay. It's a game of the emperor with no clothes. Everybody plays along, from top to bottom, as long as it's socially beneficial to do so.

>We have proof of this genetic defect to explain these deviants?
>Let's not be reductive.
Why not? Unless you believe we are some special creatures created by a sky god, instaed of dumb apes driven by nature, we have to reduce human behaviour to that animal behaviour.
Natural selection rewards genes that can
1) survive in their environment in the present
2) survive through their offspring in the future
It's dead simple. You don't reproduce? It's because you either die before your time from external factors (like war or natural disasters). Or you're not genetically desirable enough (attractive, intelligent, **healthy** - including mental health, which LGBT people do not possess).

Well...
First, pregnancy by "mistake" that both individuals (or just the mother, cause who cares if the poor man can or cannot provide for the child lmao) accept to pursue, that are due to accident during sex, which of course is done for pleasure if you don't aim for a baby.
Second, pleasure from sex is a really good motivator for the man and the woman to have the man finish into her, the deepest possible, as to ensue a pregnancy. That's how sex pleasure is cabled, as to allow for pregnancy after sex.

All of it was a deliberate media stunt.

You don't remember him because it doesn't matter who he is, the important thing is that they got people to feel like looting and burning stores was meaningful, demonstrating that they could get a meaningless movement mass movement going based on nothing but propaganda that would achieve nothing but align people against their 'enemies' (i.e. people who support free speech), creating conflict across lines where there ought to be none.

If anything the first and last of your points are correlated with having more children, not less.

Strongly declining birth rates are seen in countries where most people are much more well off and have more free time than in the US, so these points can't be the reason.

Your second point does not hold either as people in long term relationships also have far fewer children than before.

The world's population is increasing, however in many countries the fertility rate is declining rapidly, and even in the nations which contribute the most to population growth, the acceleration of fertility rate is slowing and starting to reverse. What this means in the long term is that ALL human populations will slow in growth, stagnate, and then begin to recede, if we aren't careful you could even have a rapid population collapse where you effectively don't have a new generation of young people but only middle aged and older. Unless current trends change, the expected timeline is
>India/Pakistan/China slow and cease to be the leaders of population growth
>Africa takes over and the world population increases to 10 billion between 2050 and 2100
>after 2100 the world population will stabilize, and then begin to slowly shrink

t. didn't even read the article. The fact that migrants are driving population growth now doesn't refute anything in the article. The point is that natural selection will weed the people who aren't breeding out of the gene pool, and fertility rates will probably rise again in the future.

>>12672575
>As I pointed out in the previous post in this series, there were huge economic incentives to have large families before the Malthusian transition. Since the economically rational thing to do was to have lots and lots of children, there much have been little, if any, selection for fertility per se. If anything, sooner the converse. Families that had more children than they could support suffered higher death rates for their lack of discipline. Meanwhile, the genetic competitiveness that committed and affluent “breeders” gained was limited by the fact that overall cultural norms were highly pro-natal, which limited their ability to eke out a relative advantage. Moreover, since higher IQ tends to be correlated with both greater economic success and lower desired fertility, these rich genotypic breeders must have been quite rare anyway. Hence, in the pre-industrial Malthusian world, there would have been an equilibrium in which breeders only ever constituted a small share of the population.

>When these Malthusian constraints fell away at around the time of the Industrial Revolution, along with the loosening of traditionalist pro-natality mores (have as many children as you can support and no more), the evolutionary underpinnings of the old equilibrium likewise crumbled away. However, since in most populations breeders are not yet a high percentage of the population, at first – i.e. the first century or so – this only had very modest effects, because there were very few breeders at t=0.

People already have sex, epecially rich/attractive people. Elimination of birth control will be the most effective solution. People cannot stop having sex so they will have to accept babies.
