For the first time in U.S. history one quarter of the nation's 40-year-olds have never been married. pewrsr.ch/3NQ9MDX

To present this kind of data from the perspective of work - and not from the perspective of child welfare - is a pathetic admission of servitude to corporate masters, to the detriment of society. x.com/calder_tara/st…

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying. Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt. Here's what 4 months of data revealed: (hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

Many think, given changing fortunes of men, women more likely to marry down than up. Judging by education, true. Judging by money, not true.

Bad news👇🏽 New from Pew: "The total number of children that women and men ages 20 to 39 planned to have, on average, dropped from 2.3 in 2012 to 1.8 in 2023."

Low "demand" for children is the main protagonist in low birth rates. Low and going lower. And then, add that people tend to fall short of their own "demand" for all kinds of reasons.

"[W]hen it comes to the school success of Virginia’s kids, there is not so much a racial divide as there is a father divide." Excellent new report from American Enterprise Institute's Brad Wilcox, American Institute for Boys and Men's Richard V. Reeves, and others. aei.org/op-eds/the-fat…

One thing I think we can say is that the correlation isn't spurious. Age and religiosity matter a lot — religious people are happier, younger people are sadder — but the liberal/conservative gap outweighs almost all other characteristics except age.

‘These patterns hold even when differences in age, socioeconomic status, employment, and ethnicity are considered.’

Brad Wilcox 1950-2019, the GFS/NFS/NSFG weighted samples always matched the parity distribution observed in CPS/Census. That is, they really did have "representative" samples. 2022-2023 NSFG? Nope. MASSIVELY oversampled on childless people! They screwed up their sampling because of their

In the NSFG 2022-23, they added a NEW online sample. The online sample had an intended family size of 1.5 kids. The face-to-face sample, continuing the historic methodology, had an intended family size of ***2.1***. This change is 100% a shift in sampling and survey method.

A thing a lot of well-meaning people outside higher ed say about AI and college is: “You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube! AI is here to stay!” What they don’t understand is that university admins are the ones taking the toothpaste out of the tube and encouraging AI use.

No, Mike Lee DOESN’T want to sell our national parks and hunting lands to build “affordable housing.” Here’s what’s really happening. The US Government owns 640 million acres of land, mostly in the West. That’s almost a THIRD of our total land. It’s about the size of France,

"The failure to compensate people for the unpaid labor of child-rearing creates a disincentive to have children, and so leads to falling birthrates that harm society as a whole in the long run." nytimes.com/2025/06/20/wor…

Up until about 5 minutes ago, the pronatalist cause has been dominated by conservatives and/or the religious. Seems like this could change. Newest NYT:

Thinkers like Darby Saxbe Anastasia Berg Elizabeth Bruenig from the left are leading out here. More needed. Anyways, this NYT suggests potential shift on the left re: children and parenthood. nytimes.com/2025/06/20/wor…

The thing about the conservatives opposed to selling Federal lands (e.g. I noticed Lomez ), is that they clearly have not actually read Mike Lee 's actual bill. Massive failure of literacy on the part of the based right. So let's look at the bill!
