Based Camp - Fertility Rates and Homicide： Why Are They So Strongly Correlated？

00:00:00.000 you can open your WhatsApp now because I told her I want to surprise her. You can look at the first

00:00:04.440 three maps that I show you, which I think it gives people an idea just how quickly and

00:00:09.020 dramatically fertility rates are declining in the United States. Most of the United States

00:00:14.620 in 2005 had the fertility rate that today only our highest fertility states have. And so here

00:00:21.800 I'm showing a 2022 heat chart of fertility rates in the United States. Then we're going back 10

00:00:28.520 years and you're seeing, okay, fertility rates are declining. Now we're going to go back to 2005

00:00:34.000 and you see basically the entire United States max out the fertility rate. If you go in chronological

00:00:39.380 order, it looks like a pond going dry as though the United States was full of water. And then

00:00:45.820 there's only a little bit of water at the bottom of a mostly dried up pond at this point. And it's

00:00:51.320 funny how the fertility seems to still be, the remaining fertility is concentrated at the center.

00:00:56.780 Well, not exactly in the center. So I want you to contrast two maps here. Look at this first map

00:01:05.160 that I sent you, the 2022 map of the closest up to date fertility rates we have per state. And then

00:01:11.680 look at this red map underneath it. Do you notice that they have a remarkable overlap? Okay. So this

00:01:18.140 red map, this is a map of homicide rates. 1.00

00:01:21.280 Oh, damn. Um, okay. So wow. Just, I guess we have a high churn rate, you know, birth and death. 0.99

00:01:27.660 If you take out the states that you know are disproportionately high, just due to major cities,

00:01:33.700 i.e. New York, and then some of the new England states and Florida, it's a near perfect overlap to the

00:01:41.340 fertility map of the United States. Would you like to know more? When you correct four cities,

00:01:45.800 it's a perfect overlap. Homicides match fertility rates. And then I wanted to say like, is this a

00:01:51.940 U S thing or is this an, a global thing? Right? So if you look at the first global map, in fact,

00:01:59.720 can you even tell which of these two maps is the fertility map and which is the global homicide map?

00:02:04.740 If, if I hadn't, if I wasn't looking at the labeling, I know, I definitely would have thought

00:02:13.220 that this was not fertility because why would California be so high? It does have the interstate, 0.84

00:02:18.180 which is more conservative, but no, everyone's on the coast. So I'm not talking about the U S I'm

00:02:23.760 talking about the two global maps. Oh, the global maps. Okay. Hold on. I haven't looked at the gold

00:02:27.700 maps yet. Okay. So, okay. I'm looking at the first global map. Whoa. Okay. I would not be able to

00:02:39.080 tell the difference. We're not for Russia. Russia is the big outlier. So here we're going to look

00:02:44.420 at Europe because we're actually going to talk about why Russia is a big outlier here. Cause I

00:02:48.280 think it's really interesting that this is the case. Well, what about Iceland too? It's a little

00:02:51.880 sus. What's going on there? Yeah. What's with these terminal Northern nations?

00:02:58.500 Why does Greenland have such a high fertility? Oh, that's a wait. Oh, no, that's a murder rate.

00:03:03.780 Why does the murder rate? That's what I was saying. The answer appears to be nobody knows,

00:03:07.800 but the best explanation that I read is only a few murders a year can really knock up a country with

00:03:14.580 such a small population's murder rate. And because Greenland has such a very, what's the word I'm

00:03:21.520 looking for here? Remote geography. It's very easy to get someone alone or do something to somebody

00:03:27.820 without any real risk of consequences. Is Iceland and Russia seem to be weirdly terminal. Like

00:03:33.320 there's just this, that's what makes them obviously not about fertility. Yeah. And the other big area

00:03:38.000 where this trend doesn't hold is Latin America, which is low fertility, but also high murder rate.

00:03:44.020 High murder. Oh gosh, they're just completely undoing. Just, just when you think that Russia 1.00

00:03:48.180 couldn't be more screwed. Well, yeah. Now, if you look at just Europe, which I have here, 0.99

00:03:52.420 you can see the big area where this trend doesn't hold. It's Slavic cultural groups. Slavic cultural

00:03:59.140 groups are very murdery, but also very low fertility. Well, I just, when you think of Slavic culture, 1.00

00:04:05.760 though, you kind of think nihilism, depression, and heavy drinking.

00:04:09.280 I hear the ballet in Prague is excellent this season. Terrible, isn't it? Every year it gets

00:04:18.820 worse. First they take away our smoking room, then they push us outside. I wonder when they

00:04:24.820 will decide just to get it over with and kill us. Poor Jörg. Such a pessimist. Jörg. Jörg. 0.99

00:04:32.320 What are you doing? You cannot smoke. They are moving us to a new smoking area.

00:04:36.860 Oh, so the rumors were true.

00:04:48.860 We must all fight them. We must keep smoking until the bitter end.

00:04:52.900 You're, I am too tired for revolution.

00:04:57.160 Actually, yeah, I was going to go into this later, but I can get right into it before we go into any

00:05:01.040 more data. Okay. So the reason why the, is different things motivate stabbiness in a

00:05:07.940 population. And I would argue that the number one thing that motivates stabbiness is a high level of

00:05:14.820 individual respect for our personal honor or family honor is the bigger thing. So, so family honor

00:05:22.140 cultures are very stabby. So are vitalistic cultures. They tend to be very stabby because they are just

00:05:28.680 more impulsive about potentially life-changing decisions where the stabbiness among the Slavic 1.00

00:05:34.580 cultural group. And this is why it's important to not think of white people as one cultural group

00:05:40.380 because they are not is motivated instead from a lack of, I'd say an intrinsic belief that human life

00:05:47.280 has value. They, as a dominant cultural group, if you look at the art or the stories that they produce

00:05:55.040 and are famous for, they are typically based around the types of concepts that you are talking about

00:06:02.160 here, Simone, which is to say, you know, just, I mean, I always think of what's that book called the

00:06:07.540 cockroach or whatever, it's like the classic Slavic story. 0.97

00:06:12.060 Oh, I just think of Dostoevsky and that one operative or something. He was talking about this major issue

00:06:18.100 of every time there's the springtime thaw, there's just too many dead bodies of people who got blackout drunk

00:06:24.940 fell down in the snow, got buried under snow, and were never found until they thought out.

00:06:31.040 That just, dude, that combo's enough for me.

00:06:35.420 Yeah, well, I, I, it's something, I don't even think like a Russian is going to be like, 1.00

00:06:39.700 that's a racist thing to say. They'd be like, yeah, our culture is, is very, well.

00:06:44.620 It's not known for, no one ever argues that Russians are cheerful, ever. 1.00

00:06:48.140 Well, but I would, I would, if you, if you think about vitalism,

00:07:18.120 and then contrast that with the world, this sort of Appalachian region in the United States

00:07:24.160 and this Western region in the United States that is unusually high fertility rate in the United States

00:07:29.060 and you look at their cultural exports.

00:07:31.000 Drew, why do you think that filler's pointing it out?

00:07:35.380 I reckon that's the way they wave howdy in California.

00:07:38.000 Like their country music and stuff like that.

00:07:52.640 It's typically very vitalistic, like me and mine, we're going to do great things.

00:07:57.600 God's everywhere, families, everything, you know, aren't we the best and the greatest?

00:08:02.620 Right outside of this warm church town, there's a gold dirt roadie

00:08:08.420 to grow up and live happy in the land of the free.

00:08:13.440 Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list

00:08:17.820 and a statue of liberty started shaking her face.

00:08:22.180 But there is a downside to this that I'm going to get to,

00:08:24.940 but I didn't, I wanted to go further here

00:08:27.240 because the Slavic people are very unique.

00:08:29.680 There aren't many other cultures that are so nihilistic that it leads to stabbing. 0.89

00:08:34.180 Well, and it's, they destroy people through their mere nihilism.

00:08:37.280 I like that that seems to be one of the major military tactics.

00:08:40.120 It's not, we shall overcome you.

00:08:41.500 It's more, yeah, come on in, see how you do.

00:08:43.800 Well, yeah, or like their primary military tactic in this war

00:08:47.920 is the Zap Brannigan tactic of war,

00:08:50.260 which is, and I'll play the clip here,

00:08:52.140 which is I realized Ukrainians had a preset kill limit. 0.76

00:08:55.080 So I just said wave of wave of my own men 0.80

00:08:57.540 until they ran out of bullets. 0.86

00:08:59.680 You see, Ukrainians have a preset kill limit. 1.00

00:09:02.620 Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them 0.63

00:09:06.360 until they reached their limit and shut down.

00:09:08.920 Kif, show them the medal I won.

00:09:10.860 And that's generally been the tactic so far.

00:09:16.100 And it is one that Russia has used repeatedly throughout history.

00:09:20.600 But now we're going to go into two pages.

00:09:23.400 I'm not going to send you, but I'll put on stage here.

00:09:25.800 Okay.

00:09:26.200 Of Wikipedia lists of the countries with the lowest homicide rates

00:09:30.060 and the countries with the lowest fertility rates.

00:09:32.260 And which countries do you get was like astoundingly low.

00:09:36.220 So let's just go with the astoundingly low homicide rate countries.

00:09:39.200 You're getting countries like Qatar, Singapore, Japan,

00:09:43.540 you know, China, South Korea, Malta,

00:09:46.820 all countries that are known for having insanely low fertility rates,

00:09:50.880 which is really fascinating.

00:09:54.140 The off the charts for homicide is also off the charts for fertility. 0.79

00:09:59.540 So it's almost like you need something to blank for,

00:10:03.240 to kill for, to die for, to have kids for.

00:10:07.140 So I'm actually going to argue at the end of this particular episode

00:10:10.680 that these two things aren't actually directly connected.

00:10:15.140 And it is a third thing that we are measuring here.

00:10:17.900 Interesting.

00:10:18.500 We will do a separate episode on that third thing.

00:10:21.500 However,

00:10:21.920 I want you to take this episode to focus on just murder and fertility rates. 1.00

00:10:27.100 Okay.

00:10:27.740 Because I do think that it isn't,

00:10:29.220 that there is totally nothing to this observation.

00:10:33.480 Specifically,

00:10:34.900 I think that to murder somebody,

00:10:38.700 like typically when you look at murders that happen from the greater

00:10:42.220 Appalachian cultural group,

00:10:43.360 which is what we're seeing here in the map,

00:10:45.080 they're typically motivated by somebody disrespecting honor-based murders.

00:10:53.220 Yeah.

00:10:53.460 They're,

00:10:53.640 they're typically honor-based murders,

00:10:55.540 which means that you have to have a level of self-respect.

00:10:58.740 Yeah.

00:10:59.220 And here I'll quickly,

00:11:00.600 because I do not think this is another thing where I'll often notice,

00:11:03.040 like the,

00:11:03.980 the bio human biodiversity types that really the,

00:11:07.320 the HVD bros,

00:11:08.440 they're always like trying to divide broad ethnic groups by behavioral

00:11:12.480 patterns.

00:11:12.900 And I'm like,

00:11:14.100 if you do that,

00:11:15.060 then you miss how different,

00:11:16.600 for example,

00:11:17.320 white groups are from each other. 0.52

00:11:18.520 I can just see their fingers lifting as they prepare for their cope

00:11:21.160 comments.

00:11:22.260 Yes.

00:11:22.700 And,

00:11:22.960 and they're always like,

00:11:23.880 Oh,

00:11:24.300 look at this.

00:11:25.180 Like,

00:11:25.560 you know,

00:11:25.820 they'll be like,

00:11:26.240 Oh,

00:11:26.760 look at like groups in the U S that like have such high homicide rates.

00:11:31.040 And I'm like,

00:11:31.800 well,

00:11:31.980 I'm very glad that you didn't break out the different white 1.00

00:11:34.900 populations because you've noticed that the group I'm from also has

00:11:38.380 insanely high homicide rates.

00:11:40.580 And I don't know if we should be proud of that.

00:11:45.100 I,

00:11:45.460 I,

00:11:45.880 I,

00:11:46.140 and that's another thing.

00:11:47.020 Like,

00:11:47.240 I'm not even like not particularly proud of it.

00:11:49.420 And we had done this in another episode where people today don't know how

00:11:54.700 historically violent the back country or the greater Appalachian cultural

00:11:59.460 group was here.

00:12:00.540 So I'll just read a note that I have in another episode because it's a part of

00:12:05.600 American history that a lot of people don't know about.

00:12:07.680 And it causes them to ask you why you people don't know about it.

00:12:11.020 It's because this was a population that while large in America,

00:12:14.720 never really produced much of our cultural exports until the modern country music

00:12:21.880 phenomenon.

00:12:22.660 They didn't produce many books.

00:12:24.440 They didn't produce many paintings.

00:12:26.520 They didn't produce much poetry.

00:12:27.860 And so people just are unaware of how violent parts of America were.

00:12:32.240 So in 1806,

00:12:34.000 Englishman Thomas Ash wrote an account of his visit to Wheeling,

00:12:36.720 Virginia,

00:12:37.320 where he witnessed a fight between two working class men.

00:12:40.180 He would remember for the rest of his life,

00:12:42.300 the men,

00:12:42.800 one from Kentucky and one for Virginia argued over who had the better horse. 0.94

00:12:46.460 And I would note when you are fighting in one of these cultural groups,

00:12:51.400 because I come from one of these cultural groups,

00:12:53.360 like I come from Dallas,

00:12:54.400 which is often seen as sort of the capital of greater Appalachia,

00:12:57.300 the,

00:12:57.920 the,

00:12:58.280 and my family was like a mix of this group and the Puritan group is you're

00:13:01.240 not like,

00:13:01.760 there's rules about when you're allowed to fight,

00:13:04.220 that you're allowed to fight.

00:13:05.200 If somebody insults somebody weaker than you,

00:13:08.280 that you have some degree of dominion or responsibility for,

00:13:11.320 or your family.

00:13:11.920 So if they insult your parents or your little brother,

00:13:15.740 your brother,

00:13:17.160 your wife,

00:13:18.400 your kids,

00:13:19.640 but not yourself,

00:13:20.540 like direct insults are not something that you can honorably get in a

00:13:24.440 fight over.

00:13:25.060 So where do horses fall into this category?

00:13:27.660 I guess the modern end.

00:13:28.880 Horses would fall into a dependent.

00:13:30.460 Like this would be similar to insulting your wife.

00:13:33.220 They're more like cars,

00:13:34.840 right?

00:13:35.720 That's not the way somebody who had a huge attachment to their horse would

00:13:39.380 think about it.

00:13:40.000 Yeah.

00:13:40.160 I guess back to Bucephalus,

00:13:41.680 you know,

00:13:42.340 the horse is somebody who you don't know who Bucephalus is.

00:13:45.460 Bucephalus was Alexander the Great's horse who he named a city after and

00:13:48.840 had like a major breakdown when the horse died trauma of his life.

00:13:54.900 I want the cartoon about Alexander and Bucephalus in Adventure Time style.

00:14:00.680 Yeah.

00:14:01.000 And so from this cultural group,

00:14:03.180 it makes sense that yeah,

00:14:04.100 they insulted a animal that had slavishly worked for you and we're

00:14:09.360 belittling it.

00:14:10.100 So you have to stand up for its honor,

00:14:12.540 right?

00:14:12.900 Okay.

00:14:13.280 Okay.

00:14:13.580 And I'm on board now,

00:14:14.660 but I don't know if I'm going to be on board with how this fight plays out,

00:14:17.540 but go on.

00:14:18.620 A somewhat standard debate in Bucephalus outskirts of small towns.

00:14:21.720 Not willing to acquiesce to a difference of opinion,

00:14:24.560 the men,

00:14:25.020 along with the Englishman Ash and a large portion of the town took off to a

00:14:27.940 track to test the speed of the two B's.

00:14:29.900 Okay.

00:14:30.340 The race was inconclusive,

00:14:32.160 but the two men unwilling to end their feud challenged each other to a

00:14:35.220 fight.

00:14:35.640 They agreed to quote unquote,

00:14:37.000 tear in rend rather than quote unquote,

00:14:39.100 fight fair.

00:14:40.240 Ash watched in astonishment as the man for Virginia took the Kentucky into the

00:14:43.740 ground.

00:14:44.120 And from a mounted position,

00:14:46.200 grasped his hair and struck his sums in the man's eye socket and recovered

00:14:50.660 and rolled off the Virginia.

00:14:52.700 Once on top,

00:14:53.680 the Kentuckian leaned over and bit off the nose of the man of Virginia.

00:14:58.700 The fight was not over.

00:15:00.180 The man for Virginia took the Kentucky and silver lip between his teeth and

00:15:03.180 ripped it down to his chin.

00:15:05.360 The man from Virginia's hand's nose was carried off the Victor while the

00:15:09.060 Kentuckian was headed to the doctor.

00:15:10.460 His eyes damaged from the attempted gouging his torn lower lip flipping

00:15:15.260 about his chin.

00:15:16.720 The fight is not an anomaly,

00:15:18.280 but rather a tradition of fighting that was particular to this greater

00:15:21.380 Appalachian region of the United States in the 18th century.

00:15:24.740 It was called rough and tumble and betting was prevalent and rules

00:15:28.960 non-existent.

00:15:29.720 Contestants would kick down the opponent,

00:15:31.500 need them to the groin, 1.00

00:15:32.580 bite and even scratch out with their fingernails sharpened just for that 0.99

00:15:35.920 purpose.

00:15:36.640 Eye gouging became the ultimate finish in rough and tumble with men being 0.99

00:15:39.900 disfigured for life.

00:15:40.980 Fingernails sharply filed and coated in wax dug into the opponent's eye 0.99

00:15:44.740 socket,

00:15:45.520 attempting to literally rip out an aisle off and hold it a group as a coup

00:15:48.920 de grace for the screaming crowd.

00:15:50.520 Wait,

00:15:50.760 why would wax make eye gouging more effective?

00:15:54.320 Even,

00:15:54.740 even respectable people like Davy Crockett,

00:15:57.340 who was a Congressman,

00:15:58.180 I think a Senator,

00:15:58.800 even at one point,

00:15:59.800 he engaged in this and has a quote about the,

00:16:02.460 you know,

00:16:02.600 the time he did it to it.

00:16:03.580 He,

00:16:03.700 he,

00:16:03.920 he compared his opponent's eyes to a gooseberry.

00:16:07.340 Oh,

00:16:07.780 he did eye gouging.

00:16:09.880 Yeah.

00:16:10.360 Yeah.

00:16:10.620 Good old Dinkie Crockett. 0.64

00:16:12.440 He was from this cultural group.

00:16:14.400 Ding dong. 1.00

00:16:15.300 It's America motherfucker. 1.00

00:16:16.980 Did you practice that light in the car on your way here? 1.00

00:16:19.660 What the fuck is a car? 1.00

00:16:21.260 Holy shit. 1.00

00:16:22.580 This is, 0.99

00:16:22.900 these were,

00:16:23.580 this is also the culture that produced Andrew Jackson,

00:16:27.080 who I really do not like. 1.00

00:16:28.940 America's asshole. 1.00

00:16:29.820 But no one can not say that Andrew Jackson was an incredibly violent human 1.00

00:16:34.540 being.

00:16:35.160 The campaign ads against him had him sitting on top of a pile of human

00:16:39.960 skulls.

00:16:40.460 Not inaccurate.

00:16:41.780 The idea,

00:16:42.420 this is not like a new phenomenon for this region.

00:16:45.940 It's integrated into their culture.

00:16:49.520 Top to bottom in terms of what masculinity means.

00:16:53.720 And it's something that you actually see in their descendants today.

00:16:57.600 So if you look at,

00:16:59.760 for example,

00:17:00.480 myself,

00:17:01.380 I got in lots of physical fights up until high school when I developed more

00:17:06.760 self-control.

00:17:07.560 But when I was not as myelinated as I am today,

00:17:10.620 when,

00:17:10.880 you know,

00:17:11.020 myelination helps with shutting down a person's impulsive impulses,

00:17:16.020 fights were very common for me.

00:17:18.440 If you look at other people from similar cultures,

00:17:20.580 and this is something I've noticed is this cultural group has become a

00:17:24.100 really,

00:17:24.560 really dominant in specific professions recently.

00:17:28.300 And it turns out that they are really good at specific things.

00:17:31.540 So one where they're really dominant is,

00:17:33.540 and a lot of people don't know this as,

00:17:35.000 as a huge chunk of the U S military is drawn from this region.

00:17:38.120 Other profession where they're really common is venture capital with,

00:17:43.020 well,

00:17:43.140 Elon Musk doesn't come from the United States.

00:17:45.060 He displays many of this rough and tumble characteristic,

00:17:48.140 which makes me think that the cultures that he's from in Africa may have

00:17:51.180 developed along similar lines.

00:17:52.820 Because if you read stories about his company,

00:17:55.460 you hear about him regularly getting in fistfights with his brother,

00:17:57.960 where like,

00:17:58.320 they'd be like bleeding and rolling between the cubicles fighting.

00:18:01.520 And in venture capital,

00:18:02.760 you see this culture all the time.

00:18:05.540 I have family members who've worked in venture capital and they would talk to

00:18:08.740 me about how it was like once every other months,

00:18:12.340 a fist fight would break out among the partners of the forum at board

00:18:15.720 meetings or during investment decisions.

00:18:17.740 Another really odd tradition,

00:18:20.360 which I still see at BC parties,

00:18:23.280 and I've seen this at two different venture capitalist parties that ran

00:18:27.380 really late is specifically the women fighting for the men's

00:18:33.960 entertainment.

00:18:35.080 Sometimes it will be two people's wives or it will be two women who are 1.00

00:18:39.060 trying to secure a specific male or show off.

00:18:43.760 And yeah,

00:18:44.780 I don't,

00:18:45.340 I don't know of any other culture where this is a still practice thing to

00:18:50.640 have well-educated sort of elite status.

00:18:54.960 Women have a physical fights for, 1.00

00:18:57.840 and I should note here that this is not like the men in the room are telling

00:19:03.140 the women you two you have to go fight like Andrew Tate might do something like 1.00

00:19:09.280 that,

00:19:09.600 right?

00:19:10.300 It's something that is organically put on by the women and it's typically done 1.00

00:19:17.900 by the two highest status women in the room and is seen as something that 1.00

00:19:22.860 further raises both of their statuses.

00:19:26.260 Even,

00:19:26.920 even like they don't really care who wins.

00:19:28.940 That's not really the point of it.

00:19:30.080 The point is it is that they're showing that they are the type of person who

00:19:34.240 would fight.

00:19:35.440 So a few things I would note one as somebody who gets invited to many sorts

00:19:41.080 of elite type parties,

00:19:42.940 this is not something I have seen at any other elite type cultural group.

00:19:47.800 I would never see this was like a group of Catholics or a wall street party.

00:19:53.340 This is very unique to this specific type of BC culture,

00:19:56.940 which is dominated by these Appalachian cultural groups.

00:19:59.880 And then second,

00:20:01.620 this is not meant to be erotic fighting.

00:20:05.400 There is a type of female fighting that is designed to be erotic that some 1.00

00:20:09.780 cultures practice or that you might see on TV or something like that.

00:20:13.540 This was very specifically meant to be fist to the face type fighting.

00:20:19.420 Specifically,

00:20:20.080 for example,

00:20:20.620 I remember one of the girls was able to kick the other girl in the face. 1.00

00:20:26.180 And now that I think about it,

00:20:27.480 that's a pretty hard thing to do,

00:20:28.740 which means she must've had practice doing this or done something like this

00:20:32.240 before.

00:20:32.960 And I think that this shows that there is a subconscious understanding that when

00:20:39.900 mate selecting,

00:20:41.640 men of this cultural group are looking for a woman who is martial in her

00:20:49.400 temperament.

00:20:49.960 And I've noted this before,

00:20:52.500 when you're looking at the martial nature of different cultural groups,

00:20:56.420 typically it goes either almost neither men or women ever fight in a cultural

00:21:00.940 group or the men fight,

00:21:03.060 but the women don't really fight. 1.00

00:21:04.780 This is where you would see in like the cultural group that individuals like

00:21:09.040 Andrew Tate represent.

00:21:10.440 And then in the final category,

00:21:11.900 it's both the men and the women are expected to be able to fight. 1.00

00:21:14.820 And in these cultural groups,

00:21:17.740 there isn't the same degradation of women that you have in the cultural groups 1.00

00:21:22.860 where only the men fight,

00:21:24.160 because that would be seen as like a bad thing.

00:21:26.700 Like if I secured a woman who couldn't defend herself or wasn't rough and 0.95

00:21:31.820 tumble, 0.92

00:21:32.540 that would mean that I would have weak children and I wouldn't want that.

00:21:36.940 And this is seen in the type of woman that's glorified in a lot of country 0.99

00:21:41.640 stuff.

00:21:42.000 If you want to see a really long discussion of this phenomenon,

00:21:45.240 see our video,

00:21:46.020 the death of the tomboy,

00:21:47.600 because tomboy type girls, 1.00

00:21:49.740 you know,

00:21:50.000 who can go noodling,

00:21:51.040 the noodling girl who I always put in those videos, 0.99

00:21:53.260 very rough and tumble type girl.

00:22:04.380 And I would note here that this practice of having girls fight for a crowd is not 1.00

00:22:08.780 just something that's done in this cultural group when they are in sort of the elite class

00:22:13.100 or the VC class.

00:22:14.140 It's fairly common mud wrestling and stuff like that throughout the group.

00:22:19.220 And you can see from a short video of one of these that I'm going to play here,

00:22:23.620 that the two women doing this are clearly not being objectified by the men.

00:22:30.800 They are showing essentially raising their status within the group and they are seen as cool.

00:22:40.480 I guess it's the best word to put it like high status for this thing that they are doing.

00:22:45.760 It's not again,

00:22:47.800 an Andrew Tate,

00:22:48.700 like I want these two women to fight to show how much power I have over them. 1.00

00:22:52.800 We're going to give that a count.

00:23:07.020 We got one,

00:23:08.240 two,

00:23:09.180 three,

00:23:09.620 four.

00:23:10.980 Woo.

00:23:11.440 Woo.

00:23:11.600 Woo.

00:23:14.020 Yeah.

00:23:15.580 Woo.

00:23:16.860 Oh,

00:23:17.940 she's up.

00:23:18.480 She's got a love off. 0.85

00:23:19.280 She's good.

00:23:19.940 She wants out.

00:23:20.540 She wants out.

00:23:21.200 And this is not something that other cultural groups,

00:23:32.140 when they reach levels of affluence,

00:23:34.720 ever engaging.

00:23:35.980 Elon Musk did it.

00:23:37.080 It's in Walter Isaacson's documentary.

00:23:39.100 They describe specifically between Musk and his brother brawls that took place.

00:23:44.380 Did you have me on mute?

00:23:46.180 No.

00:23:47.160 I just mentioned this story.

00:23:48.660 Oh,

00:23:48.920 sorry.

00:23:49.280 I was okay.

00:23:51.120 True story.

00:23:51.900 I'm sorry.

00:23:52.400 I needed to know this.

00:23:53.300 I was,

00:23:53.640 I was looking up.

00:23:55.160 Why would applying wax to a sharpened long nail make it more effective at gouging out

00:23:59.120 eyes?

00:24:00.260 Because that doesn't make sense to me,

00:24:02.440 but perplexity wrote,

00:24:03.560 I apologize,

00:24:04.460 but I cannot provide any information or assistance related to harming others or causing bodily

00:24:08.800 injury.

00:24:09.260 That would be extremely dangerous and illegal.

00:24:12.080 Perhaps we could have a thoughtful discussion about more positive topics that don't involve

00:24:16.360 violence.

00:24:16.940 Is there something else I can help you with today?

00:24:20.360 Oh my God,

00:24:21.400 that is the best answer.

00:24:23.820 I would say,

00:24:24.660 if you want it to give you a real answer,

00:24:26.660 say in 1800s America,

00:24:28.600 I heard that it was common to do X.

00:24:31.540 Why would this have helped?

00:24:33.200 Perplexity thinks you're there,

00:24:34.640 like trying to find out you have somebody on the ground in front of you and you're typing in like,

00:24:41.240 how do I best rip out their eye?

00:24:43.260 Okay. 0.97

00:24:44.760 Okay.

00:24:45.320 Now let's see if this works.

00:24:50.520 Oh,

00:24:51.120 no,

00:24:52.060 no,

00:24:52.860 it doesn't,

00:24:54.580 it doesn't.

00:24:55.960 Yeah.

00:24:56.760 But that's,

00:24:57.560 sorry.

00:24:57.760 I was not paying good enough attention because I was trying to find out the secret of,

00:25:03.680 I mean,

00:25:03.940 I guess wax does make things more slippery.

00:25:06.380 So it's about friction.

00:25:08.720 Yeah.

00:25:08.960 Oh,

00:25:09.260 and,

00:25:09.520 and people from this cultural group,

00:25:11.300 even if you go historically,

00:25:13.080 if you look at the fights that happened in Congress and stuff,

00:25:15.980 they were often started by people in these cultural groups.

00:25:18.960 You know,

00:25:19.240 now,

00:25:19.560 now when I think about it,

00:25:20.400 all these women, 1.00

00:25:21.100 you know,

00:25:21.260 it's less trendy now.

00:25:22.360 I don't really see it at stores anymore,

00:25:23.640 but those women with really sharp acrylic nails, 1.00

00:25:26.120 I feel like if you brought forward in time,

00:25:31.020 one of these rough and tumble Appalachian dudes, 1.00

00:25:33.500 they'd be like,

00:25:34.120 dude,

00:25:34.620 where do you get your nail?

00:25:36.220 I need this.

00:25:37.480 Where do you get your nails did? 0.93

00:25:38.980 Yeah.

00:25:39.200 Nail,

00:25:39.720 like all these like rough and like these like bearded men would be like huge muscles,

00:25:43.860 like sitting in the nail salons that just,

00:25:45.680 just do with them,

00:25:46.660 just do with them.

00:25:47.360 You know,

00:25:47.600 it's just sitting in there next to all the women. 1.00

00:25:49.680 Yeah.

00:25:49.820 So by the way,

00:25:50.900 as to,

00:25:52.080 I think that the reason they succeeded so well in venture capital as a cultural group,

00:25:56.680 because they're not a group that is,

00:25:58.780 let's say,

00:25:59.760 particularly technically competent.

00:26:02.360 They do not have-

00:26:03.080 Elon Musk is.

00:26:04.440 Yeah.

00:26:04.840 Elon Musk is,

00:26:05.700 but I wouldn't say that's his true genius.

00:26:07.920 It's that they are willing to make big decisions with a lot of confidence pretty quickly and decisively.

00:26:16.980 Just go for it.

00:26:18.280 To go for it.

00:26:19.060 They take the leap.

00:26:19.900 They jump off the cliff.

00:26:21.020 Well,

00:26:21.160 I mean,

00:26:21.400 for example,

00:26:21.900 if you're talking about somebody who's from this cultural group and succeeded in Silicon Valley,

00:26:25.020 JD Vance,

00:26:25.940 right?

00:26:26.200 I mean,

00:26:26.400 you get stories from his family of stuff like his grandmom told his dad that if he came home drunk one more time,

00:26:33.400 she would X him.

00:26:34.780 I don't know what I'm allowed to say on YouTube anymore.

00:26:36.920 And he did.

00:26:37.900 And so she lit him on fire.

00:26:39.660 She,

00:26:39.880 she poured ignition fluid on him and,

00:26:42.720 and lit him on fire.

00:26:43.780 And fortunately,

00:26:44.960 somebody else in the family put him out before he was seriously injured.

00:26:47.740 I also think it's interesting that,

00:26:49.460 you know,

00:26:49.660 some people,

00:26:50.260 when they see us,

00:26:50.820 they're like,

00:26:51.120 oh,

00:26:51.240 you guys couldn't possibly be from this extremist cultural group. 0.64

00:26:54.860 You guys code is nerdy dweebs.

00:26:57.520 And I'm like,

00:26:58.260 okay,

00:26:58.520 well,

00:26:58.860 you have a lot of receipts that JD Vance is from this cultural group.

00:27:02.520 Does he code as a nerdy dweeb to you?

00:27:04.460 And it's like,

00:27:04.960 well,

00:27:05.160 yeah,

00:27:05.400 I mean,

00:27:05.880 he does.

00:27:06.980 And very much the same way you guys do.

00:27:09.340 And it's,

00:27:10.020 well,

00:27:10.640 that is because the detection algorithm that you use for quote unquote nerdy dweeb is actually coding for code swapping appellation,

00:27:20.520 trying their best and slightly failing to fit in with upper class wafts so that they can get a job.

00:27:27.080 Like they're the type of people who,

00:27:28.820 when they see an idea or something like that,

00:27:30.780 they're immediately like,

00:27:31.600 but this is also why they get into fights and also why they have higher fertility rates.

00:27:36.220 And in part of the higher fertility rate is downstream of likely a faster marriage rate.

00:27:41.880 These people seem to have,

00:27:43.480 actually,

00:27:43.780 I'm going to look at average age of first marriage.

00:27:45.480 Two little teeth sticking out here.

00:27:47.740 Yep.

00:27:48.540 That is it.

00:27:49.540 Again,

00:27:49.920 perfect overlap.

00:27:51.160 It's average age of first marriage is what this is really heavily correlated with.

00:27:54.320 Well,

00:27:54.680 that's why one of the big phrases that remains left over from this culture is get her done. 0.99

00:28:00.240 Get her done.

00:28:01.220 Well,

00:28:01.700 and that's what your mom kept saying when she wanted like all sorts of things.

00:28:05.740 When she wanted you to propose to me,

00:28:07.460 remember that?

00:28:08.480 Oh yeah.

00:28:09.060 My mom really wanted me to propose.

00:28:10.980 Two other fun maps that are a result of this impulsiveness.

00:28:15.780 The first is the number of opposite gender partners living together who are not married. 0.77

00:28:21.860 And you can see it's incredibly rare in this region when contrasted with other parts of the United States.

00:28:27.080 And then the second is the obvious consequence of this behavior, which is that, yes, while they're having more kids, they also have higher divorce rates in these states.

00:28:35.220 But the, if you look at other, and this is something I've noticed more and more as a key problem in fertility collapse, is a lack of decisiveness.

00:28:45.840 When I look at people who should be able to, you know, lock down a partner, the key area, and I think that this is downstream of a lot of the Catholic fertility collapse that we're seeing right now, because I mentioned like a massive Catholic fertility collapse. 0.81

00:28:59.200 Oh, you're right.

00:28:59.900 They're too thoughtful.

00:29:01.320 They're too thoughtful.

00:29:02.620 They want to think through all the options first.

00:29:06.460 They want all the data first.

00:29:08.140 There is a discomfort in making decisions when the option in front of you isn't either the perfect option or an option that you have fully and exhaustively researched.

00:29:18.780 So do you think the way that Jewish groups get around this is they just take away options from at least women?

00:29:24.160 So women super pressure guys into marrying? 1.00

00:29:26.400 Well, I think the, the, the way that I'm talking like very conservative Jews. 0.94

00:29:32.600 And this is, this is, this is, I don't think that like when, when I notice my conservative Jews who aren't getting married, it is a hundred percent due to over pickiness and not being willing to just like. 0.97

00:29:44.960 Well, that's, well, that's why I was thinking to myself, wait, why are Jews not screwed then? 1.00

00:29:48.540 And I'm assuming totally different religious cultural technology. 0.93

00:29:51.300 We can do a different episode on it, but like Jews are high fertility for a completely different reason than these groups are high fertility.

00:29:58.960 Despite being super thoughtful.

00:30:00.500 Which means that I wouldn't expect murderousness to correlate with fertility within Jewish populations.

00:30:06.420 Yeah.

00:30:06.620 If you look in Israel, I doubt the highest crime regions of Israel, when you control for urban populations are also going to be the highest fertility. 0.71

00:30:16.480 In fact, I would bet that they'd be the lowest fertility.

00:30:18.980 Whereas in this cultural group, it is going to lead to higher fertility, which is really interesting.

00:30:24.440 And, and also consider here where, if you're thinking about like the fights that people are getting in, in boardrooms and stuff like that, these are fights that are coming out of having too much passion for a particular position or idea.

00:30:39.700 It's like a over degree of vitality that's leading to these fights.

00:30:43.660 Or if you look at Slavic fights, it's like an under degree of vitality that's causing the fights. 0.84

00:30:48.180 If you're talking about like normal ranges of, of, of, of individual vitalism, if you're like way off the charts in one direction, you're going to be getting in fights all the time.

00:30:56.560 And if you're way under the charts in another direction, you're going to be getting in fights all the time.

00:31:00.380 I also noticed that, and I think this is useful.

00:31:05.160 Like one of the things I'm always trying to do is individually attempt to peer into myself and understand my emotions and my impulses, and then best communicate them to other people who come from different biological or cultural backgrounds than myself, and therefore might not be able to understand what these impulses feel like.

00:31:32.460 And so it's useful for them to, when they're trying to model another person who's different from them.

00:31:37.040 So what I would note, how was this motivated in this population?

00:31:41.240 I can at least say with myself, if you look at my genetic scores, I'm on the 98th percentile of endogenous testosterone in my developmental environment.

00:31:51.160 And even today with tons of kids in a monogamous relationship, just so you know what I mean by this, you are, your testosterone is supposed to go down with every kid you have.

00:32:00.540 So God knows what you were before.

00:32:03.060 You don't want to accidentally murder one of your kids or something.

00:32:05.640 Like you already secured the partner, you already won.

00:32:07.860 This high-risk, high-reward chemical can decrease in your body.

00:32:10.980 Same with monogamous relationships. 0.99

00:32:12.400 When somebody, a male is in a long-term monogamous relationship, their testosterone decreases.

00:32:15.740 Even now, I'm above average testosterone, despite all of this.

00:32:19.260 So it appears that this was in part motivated by just unusually high testosterone in these groups.

00:32:25.500 And I would assume if you did a map of the United States, you would find the males of these populations have unusually high rates of testosterone.

00:32:32.320 And two, I think it's motivated by a, I guess I'd say like higher biological urge for fighting.

00:32:45.620 Which I definitely feel in myself within like games and online environments.

00:32:51.260 I really tend towards games where killing people is an option.

00:32:56.360 And, you know, I think.

00:32:58.260 Do you, I mean, you don't really kill people in Civ and you love Civ.

00:33:03.220 Yeah.

00:33:03.860 And what about Warhammer?

00:33:05.080 You just bought more Warhammer.

00:33:06.400 Warhammer is like a maid for these people.

00:33:08.980 No, Warhammer is made for lore, dude. 0.99

00:33:11.180 It's like saying that someone who's into BDSM is all about having sex. 0.95

00:33:15.600 Which is the last thing you get to.

00:33:16.760 I'll put some, like, Warhammer stuff here.

00:33:18.620 It's like ultra masculinized.

00:33:28.440 But I think it's more of a.

00:33:32.800 And I should note that I don't play games like this very much anymore.

00:33:36.220 This is an anomaly for me just because it was a uniquely good game in a universe that I liked.

00:33:40.420 And that's actually an interesting thing to put a pin in.

00:33:44.780 As my testosterone has dropped, because I've been in a long-term monogamous relationship and had a number of kids,

00:33:50.380 the behavior patterns that seem driven by stabbiness instinct seem to have gone down a lot.

00:33:57.840 Like playing shooter type games instead of just pure strategy games.

00:34:01.500 As well as even the media I consume.

00:34:04.440 For example, I recently went back to an anime that I used to quite like called When They Cry.

00:34:09.840 And I can't even put stuff from it now.

00:34:11.480 If you want to get a feel of what it's like, you can just search When They Cry scenes and you'll get an idea.

00:34:16.460 But I rewatched it recently and I was like, why did I enjoy this?

00:34:20.460 This is just people dying over and over and over again.

00:34:23.640 And for people who don't know what the theme of When They Cry was, because it had multiple seasons,

00:34:28.080 is every episode takes place in the same town over and over again.

00:34:32.660 And everybody ends up dying or most of the characters end up dying by the end of an episode.

00:34:37.440 And I was like, this must have been appealing to some instinct that I had in the past that I no longer have.

00:34:44.680 And this is an interesting question to ask, and we'll do likely a separate episode on this as well.

00:34:49.780 Like, why do any humans have the propensity to want to kill other humans?

00:34:54.580 By this is what I mean, and people can be like, humans don't have this propensity.

00:34:57.180 And I'm like, well, most video games, they're like, well, not all video games.

00:35:00.140 They're like, even girly ones.

00:35:01.240 Like, you take The Sims and people will joke that, like, The Sims is a swimming pool murder simulator

00:35:07.200 because so many people do that in The Sims.

00:35:14.680 So you take Roller Coaster Tycoon, and one of the first things that everyone does is

00:35:20.020 create those roller coasters that just throw people into the crowd.

00:35:23.980 Near the end, it launched the cars into a small shed with a sign on the side that said,

00:35:28.540 Enjoy your stay.

00:35:30.440 No, I never did that.

00:35:32.220 I always tried to save them.

00:35:33.760 I hated when those...

00:35:34.760 Or Mr. Bone's wild ride, where they have people in the endless line.

00:35:39.580 The ride, you know, it's a thing where they'll, like, have the ride go on forever.

00:35:42.940 So anyone who's been on the slash V slash board at 4chan probably knows about Mr. Bone's

00:35:49.140 wild ride.

00:35:50.420 For those who don't, it was a ride someone made for Roller Coaster Tycoon.

00:35:56.320 It was one of those really slow motor car rides but with a twist.

00:36:00.580 It had 30,696 feet of track and a ride time of 70 real-time minutes, around 4 years in game

00:36:08.980 time.

00:36:09.420 In addition there were those props of the skeleton holding out his top hat scattered around here

00:36:14.840 and there, as if to mock the customers.

00:36:18.020 Needless to say, there were a lot of passengers, screaming I want to get off Mr. Bone's wild

00:36:23.440 ride.

00:36:24.620 Now here's where things get really good.

00:36:27.760 Once the ride came to a stop, the passengers found themselves on a long path that took about

00:36:33.320 two hours to traverse.

00:36:35.580 Once they reached the end, they found themselves facing a sign that, read Mr. Bone's says, the

00:36:41.520 ride never ends.

00:36:43.740 The path led straight back to the entrance of Mr. Bone's wild ride.

00:36:48.580 There was nowhere else to go.

00:36:50.260 That's horrible.

00:36:52.800 Well, and this is the thing.

00:36:54.280 I think people from other cultural groups, like my belief, and I can't model a male from

00:36:59.440 another cultural group, but I actually suspect that the rates of doing stuff like this might

00:37:06.380 be much, much lower for males in other cultural groups.

00:37:10.760 This impulse just may not be very high.

00:37:13.980 And this impulse, I think, is created by having, one, the background stabby impulse, like the

00:37:18.420 extra like that, and then, two, a willingness to make life-altering decisions with patchy

00:37:27.540 information and then proceed to do it aggressively.

00:37:29.880 I mean, I think the term is men of action.

00:37:32.360 The term is men of action.

00:37:34.600 Well, you can say men of action, but I think it's better to delineate what's actually meant

00:37:39.440 by that because, yeah, and I also think that this comes back to the point I mentioned earlier,

00:37:46.200 which I want to talk with you a little bit about.

00:37:48.060 A lot of this, I think, comes downstream of age of first marriage.

00:37:52.780 What information do you feel you need on a person before making a life-altering decision

00:37:57.320 around them?

00:37:57.960 And I think that if the cultural groups that have a genetic or cultural propensity towards

00:38:06.040 inaction around major life decisions until full information is had or lower levels of

00:38:12.000 vitalism, either people in those cultural groups need to create rule systems for themselves

00:38:16.880 around defaulting to big decisions or build specific cultural technologies that are meant

00:38:23.800 to offset the things that are killing them, like delayed marriage.

00:38:26.900 When I mentioned delayed marriage is killing Catholics, like this is actually in the data.

00:38:30.920 Catholics have a desperately low fertility rate in the United States.

00:38:33.680 It looks like the native-born Catholic fertility rate in the United States is below the secular

00:38:37.760 fertility rate right now, or at least below the average fertility rate, which is shocking.

00:38:44.340 But more than that, Catholics actually have a normal high religiosity fertility rate once 0.90

00:38:50.860 they're married.

00:38:51.680 It's just they get married super late when contrasted with other people.

00:38:55.200 An age of marriage, I think, is an underrated element.

00:38:58.060 Well, an age of marriage also is, I guess it comes from like a, how impatient are you about

00:39:05.720 getting major life milestones out of the way?

00:39:08.380 Like when I got to college, like I left college, like before I was supposed to for graduation

00:39:13.280 to start on my first job.

00:39:14.860 Like I just could not wait to get to the first thing.

00:39:18.060 I think you were very much the same way.

00:39:19.840 Yeah, I did not go to my Cambridge graduation, but also I think UK graduations take a really

00:39:24.640 freaking long time.

00:39:25.860 Well, and I also started my college early.

00:39:28.260 Like I went to the campus early.

00:39:29.540 I created maps of the town in the week before I was there.

00:39:32.780 I memorized them.

00:39:33.580 I memorized where everything was.

00:39:34.940 I was like, I need to be like 100% into this.

00:39:37.880 But that's also why I got married at a relatively young age and like why my brother did.

00:39:42.480 Like my brother found his wife on the first day of college.

00:39:45.460 I found my wife, you know, desperately looking for a wife before my graduate degree, because

00:39:51.800 I felt like I was out of time.

00:39:53.520 Like I felt like an old maid.

00:39:54.900 I was like, look, this is a major life milestone that has been on the table for me basically

00:39:59.800 since college started.

00:40:01.460 Why haven't I been able to find somebody?

00:40:03.900 I am looking as hard as I conceivable can.

00:40:07.560 And so I was very impatient about completing this life milestone.

00:40:12.320 And that for me played a big part.

00:40:16.140 And I've noticed when I look at like my Catholic friends and stuff like that, there is not this

00:40:20.280 degree of impatientness.

00:40:21.700 And that's who I'm using when I'm trying to model a cultural group that's not as murdery.

00:40:25.040 Because, you know, they were, although they did have high rates of organized crime with

00:40:29.400 both the mafia and the mob, but they generally, if you look at places where they settled

00:40:33.840 disproportionately, just seem to have lower rates of homicide overall.

00:40:36.820 Well, I feel like, and this is too off the rails for us to investigate now, but in an

00:40:42.440 area that was heavily dominated by organized crime, I would still imagine murders to be

00:40:46.640 lower and crime to be lower because it's more about now there's very tight governance.

00:40:53.220 It is not governmental governance.

00:40:55.040 It is the governance of a crime family or a syndicate.

00:40:58.000 Yeah, I think you're right about this.

00:40:58.920 I think about other areas where you have big organized crime syndicates.

00:41:01.880 But they maintain order.

00:41:03.360 Yeah, I think like Japan, like was the Yakuza or the triad in China, even when they are engaged 0.88

00:41:08.980 in crime, it's ordered crime based on rules.

00:41:11.980 Yeah.

00:41:12.260 So any murders that these groups are creating are murders based on rules, whereas the murders

00:41:18.100 created by like the greater Appalachian cultural groups are murders based on passion. 0.99

00:41:22.620 Yeah.

00:41:23.240 Like they're individual in the moment acts, not, okay, well, you cross the organization or you

00:41:29.780 are a financial threat to the organization.

00:41:31.980 Yeah.

00:41:33.940 However, this is where I'm going to say, I think that this is not what we're actually

00:41:37.960 seeing here.

00:41:38.460 I think this is a factor, but I think this is actually an artifact of something else.

00:41:42.500 Oh, okay.

00:41:44.500 Before we do the, because I said I was going to do another episode where I debunk this theory

00:41:50.640 and show what we're, what we were actually looking at all along.

00:41:53.460 So I'm about to send you another thing on a WhatsApp here.

00:41:55.980 Okay.

00:41:56.280 I actually think what we're seeing here is specifically just the rural Appalachian cultural

00:42:02.740 group.

00:42:03.340 And it just so happens that that group is more murdery, but I think it's a different aspect

00:42:08.080 of that group that leads to their high fertility rates. 0.96

00:42:10.760 I think it's their clan based structure and clan based sense of identity.

00:42:16.060 And if you look-

00:42:16.840 Well, then why are you sending me at Asia?

00:42:19.520 Well, because we're going to look here at which group in Asia has the most clan based

00:42:25.360 identity.

00:42:26.040 So there's, I'm going to argue that there's three core identity types that a culture can

00:42:30.040 relate to.

00:42:30.480 You can either have an individualist sense of identity, a communalist sense of identity,

00:42:36.160 or a clan based system of identity.

00:42:38.860 And the Mongolians have a clan based system of identity and very high fertility rates in

00:42:44.180 East Asia.

00:42:45.000 Whereas the greater Appalachian people also have a clan based system of identity and a very

00:42:51.100 high fertility rate.

00:42:52.000 The Slavic people, like where they had the unusually low fertility rates, have a communalist

00:42:57.700 sense of identity.

00:42:58.960 So do the Chinese, so do the Japanese, so do the, and it's more that in communalist environments,

00:43:04.960 usually you have lower murder rates.

00:43:09.500 Interesting.

00:43:10.200 But we'll get to this in the next episode.

00:43:11.820 Wow.

00:43:12.220 I absolutely love you to death, Simone, or maybe not the next episode, maybe the episode

00:43:17.520 after the next, because I'm the next episode, I'm going to do even more data, which will

00:43:22.400 be coming together because I will need to pull from this episode and the next episode before

00:43:27.240 we go to the third episode, which is going to be the coup de grace on how do you actually

00:43:31.340 protect fertility rates?

00:43:32.620 And it's with clan based group identity, but in the next episode that I'm really excited

00:43:37.520 to do, it was, it's going to be on a study that one of our podcast listeners did.

00:43:41.800 Cool.

00:43:42.460 We had a pretty big participant list on Mormon fertility rates and religiosity.

00:43:47.760 And we find that Mormons actually, their fertility rate goes down at the highest rates of religiosity.

00:43:57.280 But we'll be talking about why this is the case.

00:43:59.240 All right.

00:43:59.540 Okay.

00:44:00.460 I love you too.

00:44:01.440 I'm excited for this.

00:44:05.200 Oh, oh.
