dilbert has spent 15 years reheating malthus in the microwave, telling us humanity’s exponential increase will stripmine the planet and turn civilisation into a mad max battle royale.
in about 2 years the cultural right have done a complete screeching u-turn and now the problem is humanity is suffering a fertility crisis. the sperm can’t swim anymore. there are microplastics in our balls. humans are in a great spiritual malaise. even the chinese are going to collapse. etc. etc.
coincidence that the countries which culturally went the most all-in on creating cram-school cadres of engineers and technologists (south korea, japan, the US) focused exclusively on going ‘beast mode’ or ‘locking in’ as ‘founders’ are now all facing joyless existences without children? make u think.
we need a rearguard action of trad-cath peasants with their literate, god-fearing patrician fathers sat at table. no fertility crisis in the great centuries of the humanities kids. people feared god, read their classics, and sowed their seed and fructified the earth.
we had 20 years of post-dawkins atheistic screeching from childless cat-erotomaniacs like dilbert. the bottom 40% of the population were forcefully ejected from their edens and amish enclaves. now they’re all free-floating in a world of low trust, conspiratorial slop, voting for strongmen or moving to SF/NYC to date 3000 people according to an algorithm without ever settling down. when really what the average normie needs is religion, or at least a humanistic-secular alternative that provides a spiritual narrative. the technocrats have proposed a purely materialistic, competitive, anti-social future: anti-life.
sad!
