I've noticed that throughout many modern societies the communities with average higher intelligence (ricecels and mayocels currently) consistently show lower birthrate while inversely communities with average/ below average intelligence (currycels and blackcels) consistently show higher birthrates. This also has to do with society of course as women enter the workforce more often in these higher intelligence/educated countries, people seek less interest in romantic relationships as they are more focused with their jobs and women have no need for men to provide for them as they are financially sufficient on their own but is that truly all there is to it? Research shows that even in highly educated sub-saharan africa average 2.5-3.5 birth whereas the same highly educated people in east asia exhibit less than replacement level birth rates, if it is not just intelligence and the recognizing of antinatalism/the tragic suffering of living therefore viewing it as morally evil exhibited by individuals of higher education then what could it be that drives this discrepency in birth rates? People like to say cost of living but people in african countries suffer way more from being able to comfortably live than individuals in the west/east asia. Of course there is also the role of the media in perpetuating feminist ideology into modern women which could discourage them from reproduction but is that really enough to make these birth rate differences this high? Im open to hearing your opinion on this or to suggest a problem in my thinking process, thanks for reading!
