 So this is something that most people don't really talk about. In fact, that's quite happy to hear when Elon Musk and Jack Ma agreed upon this when they had the summit in Asia and that's global birth rates. And to popular belief where you have the population theorists out there screaming at everybody as in we are gonna have too many humans, that's actually opposite if you look at data. In fact, what the data tells us, both for the birth rates of women, the sizes of families and also the fertility issues with women were on a decrease. And so just look at this, global childbearing female bird from 1950s to 1989 annual birth rates rose almost 1.5 million years. Since 1989, global births have essentially stalled around 135 plus or minus million births a year while the growth of the potential quantity of females of childbearing age has slowed down as well. So not only have we slowed down in childbearing, but having women to child bear has decreased as well. And so why is this important? I'll get a couple of these graphs in a second specifically Africa, cause that's the outliers very interesting to pay attention both for a couple of reasons for economic reasons for where the future is going, et cetera. So why does this matter? And I'll tell you why this matters. A lot of people forget that for a society to exist you need young working class people. You need people, at least in this system as we have it today, we need young working people to pay for in the future. And so in North America, you have social security, you have old age pension plan in Canada. In fact, all the taxes for the most part come from body-abled working people, people of youth who are able to put in 30, 40 years of their life into the tax system. Now, when you have a decreasing population growth which I'll show you this one, this is crazy. Look at this, look at this. It's actually pretty dangerous. And if you look at the charts, we'll be stalling past, I think it's 2030 that we stall the birth rate and becomes flat except for Africa and primarily Nigeria. They're around seven kids per family on average. But why this is important is like, you look at how our society's structured today. Let's take away modern society as a government has. If you look at society from a family unit, family units is the cohesive glue that makes society what society is today at the end of the day. If you have a proper family unit, that family unit creates a community, a community creates a society, society creates a healthy culture. It's really important to stress that out. And so let's kind of work off of that. If you have a society that doesn't have young enough people to join the workforce and specifically not even females, you have a decline. So not only the birth rate is declining but the fact that there's less females being born and only males being born, which is a big issue. And basically you don't have enough people to fucking pay for the future. You won't have social security, the economies will slow down, productions will slow down and the fact that you won't have physical people to put within the system. And this is something that a lot of people don't talk about. And so that's from the economic slash society level. There's another side of birth rates which a lot of people don't talk about. And I'll get into this one here for a second right here. Yeah, where is, listen, throughout human history we have been, we have gone through extreme environmental events. I mean extreme, from meteorites to let's say like the ice age to who knows viral outbreaks, viral outbreaks, the plague and all those different things. We are way fucking overdue. So top scientists talk about this. It's not if it's when. You hear what I'm saying? It's not if it's when. And so I pulled this up before but there's a statistics. I think the statistics was it would cost us something like a trillion dollars and about 700 million people would be eliminated if we have a viral outbreak. And so that's another thing that a lot of people don't talk about. Like even though people think we have a lot of population, in a nutshell we actually don't. We have more than enough food to feed the world. In fact, we have a huge problem in food distribution, not food production. It's a big misconception. People think we have no food. We have so much fucking food. We don't even know what to do with it. That's why there's waste. That's why there's laws being passed that at least now fucking hopefully a lot of countries will adopt this like restaurants should be able to give out free food to people and not get sued. And so basically we have too much food just distribution of that food and cost of food as well but we have more than enough food. And so this is interesting to take a look at and why I wanted to kind of go back to this chart and show you guys is Africa. Africa is the outlier, big outlier. So 1950s till 89, Africa's birth rate rose 70 million births from 70, 212. And so if you see their chart over here, they're just growing. And so why I say Africa is interesting is if you look at, like I said, if you look at society and if you look at proper systems, Africa has the potential to be the new big powerhouse, has the potential, might not make it. There's a lot of hurdles for them, fucking a lot of her. And I remember Africa is a fucking continent. It's not just one country, many different people, ethnicity, languages, cultural belief systems, et cetera, et cetera. So it's very complicated. However, if they have an iota of resemblance of what China was able to do with 100 million people leaving poverty into upper middle class, which is another reason why birth rates decrease is when people have higher social economic levels, they have more self interest in the things they wanna do. So instead of having three, four kids, they have about a kid. And even places now in China, even though, cause China's divided into tier cities, so they have tier one, tier two, tier three cities. So it's not black and white. People think it's like a policy, like there's zones within China, you know, Shenzhen's different from Guangzhou, from Macau, et cetera. And even certain places like this, they don't have one child policies, it's pretty much eliminated. A lot of people don't want to have multiple kids because they're just too busy doing their own things because of their economic levels and their own self interest. But if we see that Africa has some potential to mimic what China was able to do, like I said, Africa's a continent, but like countries within Africa, primarily Nigeria, Nigeria's kind of the outlier within the outlier within Africa, then it'll be interesting. This is why a lot of people, even Jack Dorsey, so CEO of Twitter, doubled down on the fact that he wants to be spending next four or five years heavy in Africa and seeing the opportunities over there because listen, you have young people who are born, they are the consumers. And if you can raise them into a higher GDP to be consumers, to put back into the system, this is where business is done. But at the end of the day, like North America looks fucking bleak. Look at this study, remarkable decline in fertility rates. This study was published in the Lancet. So from 1950 to 2017, 1950s women were having an average of 4.7 children in their lifetime, the fertility rate all behalf to 2.4. And so what's going on? As I mentioned with China and other countries, when you increase the social economic levels, people won't have less kids. But there's another thing happening over here too and the reality is a lot of families, fuck, it's hard to bite the bullet when I say this to them, but there is a biological age with women. Not so much with men, don't get me wrong, sperm does decrease in quality of DNA fragmentation as you age, but more or less how a woman, okay, let me put this, a woman is born with a set of eggs from their hermom. That's it, that's her set of eggs. And as she ages, those eggs disappear and you fucking can't get those eggs back. This is why there's a boom in IVF, right? Artificial insemination. And so basically people are having kids later, right? There's a prime age, I think the age is between like 19 to 24, there's a prime age where a woman gets pregnant, younger the better, to be honest with you. But women, and because of our society, right? They're fucking expensive to be honest with you, right? So it's like, okay, by the time you can afford to have a family, it's kind of too late and it's difficult. Like past the age of 30, trying to get pregnant, it becomes exponentially fucking difficult. This study goes into the fact of like the later you're trying to have kids, the harder it is to have kids because you lose eggs as you fucking get older. And there's all these other different reasons, but that's a massive reason. But yeah, I want to quickly guys show you about this. It's like, we are going into a decrease of birth rates which equals a decrease in economic power, which is a decrease in the power of a society which leads to issues. And not to mention, there can be environmental issues, viral issues, meteorite, who the fuck knows where it can wipe out a whole portion of us humans. So this is something to pay close attention to. I'm gonna be paying close attention to Africa. Super close attention. Who knows if you're an entrepreneur out there and you see some opportunities like Jack from Twitter, like pay attention to that. But I'll leave you at that guys. Talk to you guys soon. Peace.
