@RichardHanania Yet we see how CI's increase linearly from the 70th percentile range and above? This should be obvious to everyone, but this data does not justify the claim that higher proportions of household income earned by wives intrinsically damages the mental health of husbands.
@robkhenderson This seems to be a variant of the hypersexuality thesis for the origin of heritable same-sex orientation (in men). It's an interesting thesis, but it fails to account for the horizontal (i.e. non-genetic) spread of same-sex behav, which is real and measurable (i.e. prisons)
Confirmed: Unplanned Childlessness is the dominant trend of our times.
The UN just confirmed 72% of women and 80% of men aged 35-39 without kids, across the globe, still want them. And from my own research, most won't get the chance – and many who no longer dream of a family once did.
This is a long way from 2023, when a Cambridge University college cancelled a screening of my documentary Birthgap after students branded it misogynistic. It was the first work to identify the Unplanned Childlessness phenomenon across the globe and its role in driving the collapse in birth rates.
Nice to have the UN on board !
Thank you to those who've helped spread my research: @ChrisWillx@KonstantinKisin@francisjfoster@jordanbpeterson, @MarioNawfal ,@ZubyMusic – plus many, many more.

'Replacement rate' fertility is frequently believed to be 2.1.
But the rate actually varies based on mortality and sex ratios at birth.
So, I've gone and recalculated the rates for every country with available data. Have a look:
As a journalist, I embedded with multiple groups of migrants during 2015-16 "Syrian" wave (only about a third were fleeing the civil war in Syria, from my observation). I even lived in a smuggler's safe house in Istanbul, waiting for weather conditions to permit a dinghy crossing from Izmir to Lesbos.
I went into that experience basically an open-borders person and left a restrictionist. Merkel's flinging the gates to more than 1 million newcomers was madness, sheer madness.
Even if these were the most aspirational migrants imaginable --- and they weren't, gotta be honest --- the numbers, the cultural distance, and the conditions of European society should've prompted a rethink. But no. Wir schaffen das.
I tried to put myself in the shoes of native working classes in the transit countries (the Balkans, Hungary, etc.) and the recipients (Germany, Sweden, etc.). It was obvious that they would experience it as a cataclysm.
Even if most wouldn't become victims of crime, this many newcomers were bound to generate acute incohesion experienced at the street, social services, and housing levels, mostly burdening the native poor and those on the lower rungs of the labor market.
The engine of assimilation, not particularly robust in most of Europe to begin with, breaks down in the face of sheer numbers. In retrospect, I've come to believe that this was the single worst and most consequential decision taken by European leaders in the 21st century.
I don't understand it. I remember @DouglasKMurray telling me at the early stages that the best way to help was in-country, meaning humanitarian assitance in the Middle East and North Africa, not by bringing them over. He was 100% correct.
@MaverickDarby Do you not recognize the ethical indefensibility of posting a product like this so deceptively at such a painful moment for so many of us? If you really want to play the false shepherd I guess fine, go ahead, but can't you see how this is fucking with us after the fact even more
HOLY SH*T 🚨 Charlie Kirk drops the 🎤 by saying Islam is NOT compatible with Western values 💯
Sharia Law should be ABOLISHED immediately
JESUS CHRIST IS KING. PERIOD
If we want things to change, it's 100% necessary to politicize the senseless murder of Iryna Zarutska because it was politics that allowed a savage monster with 14 priors to be free on the streets to kill her.
@theaudness84@TonyLapidus@TuckerCarlson@RealCandaceO I'd consider myself sane. After listening to the interview in full, I don't endorse or support the Mother in any way - frankly it seems she's bordering on doing apologetics for terrorism. But my remarks about the ethics of mocking nuns for their appearance, I stand by.
@johanbkg2513 That's utter bullshit and you know it's bullshit. Israel did not create Islamism and is not responsible for Islamism, which has a history predating Israel by over 1000 years.
I'm not sure what to make of this. When people speak from life experience, we shouldn't naïvely assume objectivity. Nonetheless, the Mother focusing exclusively on Israel as the 'big bad' while skipping briskly over Islamist threats to MENA Christians feels truly bizarre.
Self-described evangelicals like Ted Cruz and Mike Johnson have no interest in how Israel treats Christians. Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos has spent years living in the region. They should listen to her.

Yeah, I listened to the end and I've made up my mind.
I don't believe the Mother was speaking in good faith. I am willing to give people a pass, multiple passes, but this interview required more passes than I could give in a lifetime. I am glad not to be in her denomination.
@chalavyishmael@TuckerCarlson I think Mother's Agapia is clearly talking from deep personal experience, so I am not inclined to dismiss it entirely out of hand, but yeah you're right - the data tells a very different story from her story, and it's odd to me as a Christian that she skipped over all that
