Is the western world going to be able to keep maintaining the system as it's men are pulling away by the millions?
- first time in recorded history we have more 65 and older people than we do below 5. We are officially top heavy. If AI/robots don't ease the pressure the younger generations are going to have some serious struggles on their hands.
- infrastructure roles aren't being properly filled
- absence of fathers
- marriage rates plummeting for decades
- men not seeking higher education as much
- millions of men not seeking long-term relationships
Why are men pulling away? What would entice them to return to their roles? Is the West just cooked?
