Governments themselves have become so enormous and controlling that they are also destroying their populations. Such is the nature of monopolistic hierarchies, as we have discussed before. They grow and grow, spending ever-increasing amounts of money on projecting control, until they eventually collapse.
Our education system has become archaic and is failing miserably. The number of children failing to perform at grade level is incredibly high, and all you have to do is converse with a high school graduate to see for yourself that they are ignorant of basic math, geography, writing skills, and history; all core subjects that school is supposed to be teaching them. I am reasonably sure that 90% of our kids have not read one book on the “Goodreads” list. What they do know is the currently hottest TikTok dance, move by move, and what Taylor Swift said five minutes ago.
In every society marked by Western Civilization, women have elected not to reproduce. I often discuss this, and if there is a single metric that predicts disaster in any society, it is failure to reproduce. Nothing is more essential, yet we have no answer to this disaster. Our education system, popular culture, and government policies provide a constant stream of messaging about insecurity, expense, and an uncertain future, all of which discourage reproduction. The last time I am aware of fertility levels reaching this low level was during the plague of 1346, when half of the world’s population died and fertility levels were crushed. It took humanity hundreds of years to recover, and that event wasn’t endorsed and promoted by a culture. It also occurred worldwide, although the worst was certainly in Europe. My point in raising that fact is that in our current situation, there is one population in the world that remains fertile and is rapidly replacing Western Culture, Islam. At the current rate, we can mathematically predict that the major nations of the world will collapse by the end of this century and will be replaced by an as-yet-unknown option. At this time, it certainly looks like the “winner” will be fundamental Islam.
Contributing to the demise of society as we have known it is the decay of values that support family structures and mating. I could and have written entire papers on this issue, but the traditional human family structure of one man and multiple women has devolved into a morass of dysfunction. Modern Western society promotes monogamy, although there is no successful model of that in the many thousands of years of human civilization. To point to the past 1500 years as a model rebutting my statement would be to ignore the evolution of sex workers, affairs, and divorce.
Currently, one in ten women between the ages of 18 and 24 is a sex worker, and 80% of the men in America hire them. Conversely, the median age of first marriages for women in the United States is nearing 30, and the trend is for women entering their reproductive age to have their first child at 35.
