One public-private way to pump birth rates is to allow families to buy failson insurance from the open market. Then either your child will take care of you in forty years or the insurance payouts will.The markets will then analyse the child’s genome at birth, as well as hukou status, parental and grandparental CVs, ideally all encrypted via zero-knowledge proofs.Then whenever the govt wants more children born in a year, perhaps to offset softness due to zodiac-related reasons, the SOE insurers can simply sw ...

It is not surprising that embryo selection and other forms of eugenics are becoming mainstream in China.The logical conclusion of the Confucian circle of life, the idea that childcare by parents is repaid with elderly care by children, is eugenics.Birth rates remain low if potential parents believe that a potential child will not do well enough to help them in old age.

RT Christian Heiens 🏛 (@ChristianHeiens)Why does no one ever ask why Americans aren’t replacing themselves and how we can get back to this being the case? It’s like this question isn’t even allowed to be asked, and the offered solution isn’t even considered.We have spent the last 20+ years pushing the most insanely anti-natalist, nihilistic, hedonistic, and selfish set of beliefs in the history of humanity on Americans, and now we are told that the only remedy to our self-imposed cratering birth rates is to ...
