Watch now | In this eye-opening discussion, Malcolm and Simone delve into the complex factors contributing to South Korea's alarmingly low fertility rates. They explore how the country's unique chaebol system, extreme meritocracy based on measurable statistics rather than efficacy, and hierarchical culture have created an environment that discourages having children. Malcolm proposes a unconventional solution that could potentially fix the problem in a single generation, but acknowledges the cultural resistance it would face. The hosts also touch on the loss of Korean culture and cuisine that will occur if the fertility crisis remains unaddressed.
Watching that baby having trouble with latching was giving me anxiety.
Another thing I’ve thought of is that cultures with a long tradition of arranged marriages would select for people that didn’t have a strong drive to fall in love or even have a sex drive. That instinct would be bred out. And when the arranged marriage system broke down they just didn’t replace it with anything and were fine being single.
What will happen in the future? Will the government just be cool with decreasing population? Or will they start doing some crazy stuff like government arranging marriages and requiring employees to have more children to get promoted. Or even go to forced egg harvesting and forced surrogacy. I feel like that’s something China would do.

That is shitlib thinking. What the hell do whites or blacks, for that matter care about Korean culture? As for cuisine, for those who feel they can't live without Korean food, any decent cook can prepare excellent Korean cuisine.

Congratulations! He will be strong as an ox!

"it's ai generated. dont take it seriously."
That may well be true, but a shitlib wrote the algorithms for the program.
