There are going to be real, significant consequences from us as a Western society collectively deciding to commit civilizational suicide. Every day I see attractive, intelligent, productive, highly empathetic couples justifying their decision to not have children because of abstract "environmental concerns" amongst other decadent reasons (all highly abstract and indicative of civilization in decline, "first world luxuries" that our ancestors would scoff at) such as not being able to "afford them" [4]. Of course, "we'll just implement UBI and good socialized healthcare," but please tell me how that will work when approximately 34% [5] of the US population are tax net-negative [6], while growing exponentially? [7]. The US is going the way of South Africa or Zimbabwe, and I do not want to be around when the food runs out and the crowd is looking for a (white) scapegoat.

The total fertility rate for North America is 1.7 [1]. Meanwhile, the total fertility rate for Sub-Saharan Africa is 4.7 [2]. I know the utopian liberal vision is "we're all created equal," but it simply is not true with the scientific consensus being that IQ is 50-70% heritable [3]. The brutal fact is that some people have a higher intellectual (and productive) potential than others. Rather than look at the facts, we have continued down this path of denial and as a result millions of people are suffering needlessly [8]. The movie Idiocracy is starting to look more like a tutorial instead of a humorous warning.

"Let the children starve, maybe a few of them could become rocket scientists with the help of Affirmative Action, depending on how they fall on the bell curve. At least then we wouldn't have to give up our liberal free-market utopia. At least then we wouldn't have to admit... we're not born equal."

I'm sure you're probably appalled at the possible solutions to this, "eugenics" is the triggering word. Genuinely ask yourself, what do you think we have now? We have a global system, thanks to Western foreign aid, Universities, corporations, and Hollywood, flat-out incentivizing the least productive, least conscientious, least innovative people on the planet to continually reproduce at a higher rate than the most productive, most empathetic, most innovative people. Do you want your grandchildren to exist in a world where they're severely outnumbered by parasites?

I do not, and neither does China. While the US imports millions of low-wage workers, China's net migration rate was negative for the past 70 years [9]. They send their children to US universities to learn from the world's most fashionable and "progressive" professors, while spying on them [10]. You recommend "extending this trend [of fashionably ending our genetic lines] to demographics and countries it hasn't reached yet" while China encourages parents to have 2 children [11]. The US media loves discussing reparations [12] for slavery, while China colonizes Africa [13].

I just don't understand, how can a place so interested in growth, innovation, and future-oriented thinking be so quiet about your society committing suicide around you? Is Twitter going to save us from brain-draining our own population?
