"At risk of stating the obvious, unless something changes to cause the birth rate to exceed the death rate, Japan will eventually cease to exist," Musk posted on Twitter on May 7. "This would be a great loss for the world."

In a manner, civilization is a Ponzi scheme, needs next generation to be larger to support the older and so on.
4. Completely overlooked: the Socialist Social Security System
Instead of paying 15.3% of gross wages an entire career, pass a law requiring adult children to give back 15% of their income to their parents in old age. Suddenly parents would have many children, educate them for real work, keep them away from druggies, groomers, and other Democrats, and teach them to respect family and elders. The children would more likely keep their parents around rather than use expensive nursing homes.
its not because so many have left in Hungary’s case. Its because the birth rate has been low for over 40 years. The government’s pro natal policies have not been a magic bullet that suddenly brought their birthrate back up to sustainable levels, but it has made a noticeable difference.
I agree that’s what life has turned into, a Ponzi scheme. Certainly that is not God’s design, but God’s design has been perverted by those who choose to ignore it, and it is then doomed to failure. Like everything else, unsurprisingly.
Hence the gnashing of the collective democrat teeth when the stocks of twitter changed into private non-deep state hands. Elon still had to be vetted to get twitter.
I think many people misunderstand Elon Musk. He is not like Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos or Jack Dorsey or Brin and Page.
Musk is an absolutely unfiltered absolute genius. That doesn’t mean he has all the answers or gets everything right. But philosophically he answers to no one, and he is willing to take the risks and TRY to solve problems no one else wants to touch.
I’ve seen interviews with him where he describes his mind as being a perpetual explosion of ideas that he can’t shut off. He HAS to speak his mind or he will go crazy. I totally get that.
So is Maria Bartiromo
Sure, let’s marry a toon and teach everybody about the in and outs of your mental illness and push for it to have special minority status.
Yeah, lets have the news media support and celebrate you across the world. The Birkenstock footed, stink rope head, billboard bodies will protest for your rights.
Just let your heritage fade away and wither on the vine whilst you molest a toon. Good plan.
And Maria buries stuff that needs to be buried.
Government propaganda (starting in the school system) can convince women of a country it is their patriotic duty to get married young and have children.
Humans are amazingly malleable.
Within a generation single women would be treated as outcasts if they were lucky, burned as witches if folks got a little overenthusiastic.

Very good explanation of him. Thanks.
I couldn’t agree more about his exposure to Schwab. He saw what they are about and didn’t want anything to do with that and rejected it all.
Zip2 was "advanced tech for the centralized surveillance state"? L. O. F. L.
Have you ever heard of “you’re a dumbass.”?

Insofar as strictly the "AI will so far surpass humanity" part, the Singularity™ is coming, sooner than later.
It will be the ugliest moment of an ugly century.
As for the "it could very well wipe out humanity", much depends on what is done to 'disrupt' and 'disarm' the Singularity™ once it has been unveiled by Googlebook or whatever, and is quickly discovered to be fatally internally flawed, the autists having based their godhead almost entirely on their narrow world-view, autistic-centered 'math', and not properly accounting for non-'math' variables.
Which is still L.O.F.L. plus Schadenfreude! this far out of the unveiling.
Hungary is paying Hungarians to have children.
If the U.S. tried to implement something like this we would be paying Mexicans and Indians and Ethiopians to have children in the U.S.
Not the same outcome.
As soon as we get a handle on immigration we could revisit this but not before.
Japan has had a negative birthrate for a long time. Mark Steyn talked about it in ‘America Alone’.
Well I voted for Nixon in my first Election. I was 18 and I was not gullible.
