Topics I Cover in This Podcast: 

  • What is pronatalism?
  • Why should we worry about population and demographics
  • An economic argument for more babies?!
  • Are babies part of our social safety net?
  • Why we should care about the decline of developed countries
  • How we’re failing both future generations and our elderly citizens
  • You’ve been told babies are bad for the environment, the world, and especially for women’s rights - is that true?
  • How many great-grandchildren will you have if fertility continues to decline (hint: it’s .037) 
  • Why we’ll lose cultural heritage if we stop having babies
  • What’s a monoculture and why is it dangerous?

  • Does a life focused on individual happiness and fulfillment ultimately lead to a happy and fulfilled life?
  • What is unplanned childlessness?
  • Is pronatalism anti-environment?
  • Won't AI fix all the problems?! 
  • Is pronatalism nationalistic and supremist (hint: maybe for some small groups, but it’s much more about preserving cultural heritage and encouraging diverse thinking)
  • What about immigration, doesn’t that solve our baby problems?
  • Is pronatalism anti-woman (note: I’ll tease you a little, but the next podcast will cover this question in detail!)
