“No. Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
Seriously, just expose people or shut about it already.

@Cindybinmo I’ll be exposing the swamp for 7 more months before you get to unwrap your present from the globalist billionaires.

The fertility crisis has been nagging at me.
I don’t believe any of the standard explanations work. Why is it so bad, and why is it happening everywhere? Phones? Sure, that seems to explain the last fifteen years. But the deeper question is why the iPhone has been such a successful invention, and why this keeps happening again and again: new technologies and economic developments always push in the same direction.
We could have used economic growth to have more kids and do more socializing. Yet, for the most part, we have done the exact opposite over the last three quarters of a century.
I believe the answer must be rooted in human nature. Imagine that humans have an optimal amount of solitude. Being alone allows you to hide food, rest, or think through your problems. Through most of our evolutionary history, we did not have many opportunities to be alone. So we evolved to try to be alone when possible.
It is like obesity. We developed a simple heuristic to gorge on calorie-dense food because coming across such food was rare. It is unsatisfying to say that candy and potato chips cause obesity. These are proximate causes. The ultimate cause is the market giving us what we want. It is the same with iPhones, streaming, and other technologies that make solitude fun or easier.
Unfortunately, this means that, as growth and technological development continue, solving this problem will become more and more difficult. Eventually, the only thing that worked for obesity on a scale large enough to change the results was drugs. Perhaps we need a GLP-1 for socialization?
Until that comes, we should probably be judging new intellectual movements, technologies, and economic trends by whether they bring people physically together or move them apart. There's no easy solution here, and you may always be fighting human nature until cultural and genetic evolution have had time to shift it in another direction.
