>>11218667it depends on the religiosity.
I agree that dumb people aren't dying like they used to
but we have to consider that the upper middle historically drove reproductive direction
one of the more damaging patterns I see is the smarter women going into long periods of education and subsequent careers and having far fewer children while the less intellectually gifted end up on welfare and putting out children
for more child support.
this reduction of child number is cultural and some religious policies encourage these women to raise kids
The women's reproductive choices shape the future of the population.
