00:00:00.000 Do women owe society children? 1.00
00:00:04.540 So there is a study by Morgan Stanley that says 45% of women are expected to be single and childless by 2030 per a recent projection.
00:00:18.700 In 2019, Morgan Stanley published an article outlining women's impact on the American economy. 0.95
00:00:24.780 The number of prime working-age women in the U.S. has been increasing steadily, and most of them are single and completely focused on their career.
00:00:34.060 These women will continue to have a greater representation in the workforce, helping to boost wages. 0.99
00:00:43.900 But these cultural trends are going to have a tremendous impact on the future of American society.
00:00:50.420 Morgan Stanley estimates that 45% of women in their prime working years between the ages of 25 to 44 will be single and childless by the time 2030 arrives.
00:01:02.640 So, do women owe society children? 1.00
00:01:06.860 I feel like we owe it to ourselves, to everyone.
00:01:15.780 I feel like it's nature.
00:01:18.300 It's what?
00:01:20.160 It's history.
00:01:21.560 It's everything around us.
00:01:23.360 It's life.
00:01:26.300 But to society, no.
00:01:29.360 Okay.
00:01:29.880 So we owe it to ourselves, but not...
00:01:31.460 We owe it to ourselves, and obviously, if we are with a partner that we love and we see a future with, and who's going to stand by us, then, yeah, I would have a child with that person.
00:01:49.420 I would definitely most want to.
00:01:53.200 Do women owe society anything? 1.00
00:01:54.760 Um, that's a hard one.
00:02:03.020 Nope.
00:02:04.460 No?
00:02:05.560 Say that again. 0.71
00:02:06.500 It's not...
00:02:08.380 I feel like it can be double-sided, though.
00:02:11.640 That's the thing.
00:02:13.020 It's like, there's...
00:02:14.180 We can say, do women owe... 1.00
00:02:18.360 But it depends on the context.
00:02:21.640 What could we possibly owe them?
00:02:24.100 Sorry, can I interject?
00:02:25.640 Um, sure, go ahead.
00:02:26.660 All right.
00:02:27.380 Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, but when you're saying the word owe, what do you mean by that?
00:02:33.500 Like, because we don't owe this economy anything.
00:02:37.120 Do you owe anybody anything?
00:02:38.440 No.
00:02:38.960 Nothing.
00:02:40.120 What about being, like, a tax-paying, contributing member of society?
00:02:43.760 No, that's legislation.
00:02:45.360 That's legislation.
00:02:45.920 Well, Michael, it goes back to the question.
00:02:47.880 Do you owe anything to society?
00:02:49.560 Sorry to cut you.
00:02:50.200 Okay.
00:02:50.640 You were talking about USA.
00:02:52.060 We're in UK.
00:02:52.700 All your statistics are from USA.
00:02:55.800 Well, the other stat I'm going to bring up is 1.56 is the birth rate per woman.
00:03:01.160 And it's similar in the UK, too.
00:03:03.040 It's similar, but what you were referencing to you was from USA.
00:03:06.280 Okay, and what's your point?
00:03:07.720 Well, my point is to the fact of we don't owe anything to anyone.
00:03:11.800 Okay.
00:03:12.680 Any formal being, any person that you see, we don't owe anyone to nothing.
00:03:17.600 Okay.
00:03:18.260 Nobody anything.
00:03:19.400 We do.
00:03:19.960 No one anything.
00:03:20.440 Okay.
00:03:20.920 Okay.
00:03:21.420 So, what do you think?
00:03:23.400 The word owe is getting my back up.
00:03:26.420 But I feel like that's because if you owe something, that must mean I'm in debt somewhere.
00:03:30.860 You're in debt for someone.
00:03:31.320 That's it.
00:03:31.620 I'm not in debt nowhere.
00:03:32.840 You didn't choose to be born.
00:03:34.780 First of all, and second of all, I strongly agree that there's a reason why us as women
00:03:41.580 can have children and we're supposed to birth kids.
00:03:44.980 But when I decide to do that, how I decide to do that, with who I decide to do that with,
00:03:49.840 I know a lot of people that don't even want to have kids, period.
00:03:51.820 So, but for me, 100%, I feel like we're here to, you know, we do need to reproduce, but
00:03:58.740 to owe, definitely not.
00:04:00.080 So, how do we have any structure in society if nobody owes anybody anything?
00:04:05.960 Because no society never gave me anything.
00:04:09.060 It's my mom and dad that gave me life and a higher being if you believe in it.
00:04:13.120 Does society give you protection?
00:04:14.940 No.
00:04:15.740 Nothing?
00:04:16.280 Nothing.
00:04:16.600 You can't call the police?
00:04:18.120 The only thing that society gives me for my personal opinion, I'm not talking for everyone,
00:04:23.100 I'm talking for myself.
00:04:24.440 Okay.
00:04:24.880 The only thing society gives me is debt.
00:04:28.120 Does society give you, how do you, how does society give you debt?
00:04:31.760 Because where I come from, how I grew up, when it comes to protection, it's not the society
00:04:37.940 or the government that protects me.
00:04:39.820 When it comes to feeding me and giving me opportunities, it wasn't the government that given me.
00:04:47.000 Opportunities or anything to make me prosper in life.
00:04:49.680 So, I don't owe anything to society.
00:04:54.300 Okay.
00:04:54.780 If you talk about my lineage and my lineage and where my family comes from, that's something different.
00:05:00.260 Okay.
00:05:00.980 But me as a human being to talk about society, society ain't giving me nothing.
00:05:04.900 If you were born at any other period of history, you might see things a little differently.
00:05:09.700 But I'm not.
00:05:10.380 So, I only can talk for my truth.
00:05:12.480 Do you understand?
00:05:13.060 So, I'm not talking for humanity.
00:05:15.260 I'm talking for me, Deca Artists.
00:05:16.620 What do you mean, my truth?
00:05:18.700 My truth.
00:05:19.440 Like I said.
00:05:20.180 Like, isn't there just the truth?
00:05:21.280 Let me elaborate on this one.
00:05:23.520 Definitely not.
00:05:24.360 There's definitely not just the truth.
00:05:26.260 No.
00:05:26.400 Because how your idea of even going back to the word O is going to be completely different to either me or a few other people sitting here today is going to have a complete different idea just because of our heritage and because of where we come from.
00:05:44.180 And I feel like you just have to speak for yourself, that's it.
00:05:47.180 That's it.
00:05:47.480 And we should leave that there.
00:05:49.320 Go ahead.
00:05:49.780 I would just like to express solemn gratitude to Western society for allowing all of us in this room of all different backgrounds, skin colors, ethnicities, religions, to sit in a room with a degree of civility without experiencing any sort of a mob attack on any of us or any of us being bought and sold.
00:06:05.280 I think it's a brilliant thing that Western society gave us.
00:06:08.000 And I think we do owe a debt to that, at least, at the very least, a debt of respect and a debt of gratitude.
00:06:12.500 So, I just want to express that.
00:06:13.640 Sorry, sir.
00:06:14.060 What do you mean by bought and sold?
00:06:15.860 I mean that based on my ethnic background and yours, depending on when we were born and where we were born, society would have treated us differently, myself included.
00:06:24.560 Does that make sense?
00:06:25.540 And so we owe tremendous gratitude that we have a Western society.
00:06:29.260 We can have a civil conversation, discourse, and pursuit of truth.
00:06:32.660 And I'm going to be honest with you.
00:06:35.340 It doesn't make sense to me.
00:06:36.920 And I'm not going to talk for you.
00:06:37.960 You're talking for me.
00:06:39.340 I'm not talking for you, sir.
00:06:40.400 How is he talking for you?
00:06:41.460 Because you said to me, it makes sense to me.
00:06:43.440 How can you tell me it makes sense?
00:06:45.300 He said, it makes sense.
00:06:47.540 Like, I live my life as a black human being, a young black man in this land.
00:06:52.720 The discriminations that have come upon me is different to you.
00:06:57.240 I'm not going to tell you to digest what I've been through to live your life in any different aspect, to get what I mean.
00:07:05.600 I think you're speaking from pain.
00:07:07.540 No, definitely not from pain.
00:07:08.940 It's from reality.
00:07:09.880 But it's my reality.
00:07:10.780 It feels that way.
00:07:11.500 It's my reality, darling.
00:07:12.920 But yeah, of course, it's your reality.
00:07:14.780 Yeah, this is your reality.
00:07:15.500 Yeah, that's it.
00:07:15.940 It's your pain.
00:07:17.060 That's it.
00:07:17.780 Like, I'm not globalizing anything.
00:07:19.780 Nobody's disputing what you've been through and your reality.
00:07:22.260 But it does sound like it comes from pain.
00:07:23.960 Because what I'm hearing is that society has conditioned us to be selfish.
00:07:28.020 What do you mean you don't owe the world nothing?
00:07:29.600 I don't.
00:07:30.000 Okay, the world owe.
00:07:30.920 You don't like the world.
00:07:31.760 All right.
00:07:32.140 And next, we'll use another word.
00:07:33.880 But you still, as human beings, we have a biological necessity to create with each other.
00:07:39.660 It's just the point.
00:07:40.620 We need to continue this earth.
00:07:41.980 We need to evolve.
00:07:42.800 We need to grow.
00:07:43.400 We need to develop.
00:07:44.400 Our offspring needs to teach us new things.
00:07:46.320 Like, that's a very important thing.
00:07:48.140 Like, this world is very tough.
00:07:50.100 It's hard.
00:07:50.800 It's so hard for women and for men.
00:07:52.820 Nobody struggles bigger than nobody else.
00:07:54.880 I've probably been through 10 times more than people in this room.
00:07:57.840 But I have a very positive perspective of life.
00:08:00.780 I do owe my society something.
00:08:02.500 If I'm in a room full of you guys, I do owe you something.
00:08:05.140 I do owe you good energy.
00:08:06.580 I do owe you good energy.
00:08:07.500 But that comes with it.
00:08:08.860 Through women comes love.
00:08:09.460 But that was the question, darling.
00:08:10.540 Through women comes love.
00:08:11.980 And that was the question.
00:08:12.240 Through reproduction.
00:08:13.620 And we do have, it's a biological necessity for us to produce.
00:08:17.920 We're here.
00:08:18.640 We're creators.
00:08:19.520 We're powerful.
00:08:20.180 We're women. 1.00
00:08:20.780 That is one of our biggest things to do.
00:08:23.000 My mom's life path on this earth was to be a mother. 0.95
00:08:25.720 And she's been through the worst of losing three kids before she had my brother.
00:08:29.540 Then she had my brother.
00:08:30.240 18 years later, then she lost two more before me.
00:08:32.800 Then she had me.
00:08:33.480 She had to pray at a great stone just to be a mother.
00:08:36.220 And I was born.
00:08:37.220 So I think it's very important that we as women should actually take on that role.
00:08:40.920 That's what we're here to do.
00:08:42.420 This is us.
00:08:43.260 This is our power to love and to grow and to transform life.
00:08:47.720 It's like, stop with this selfish thing.
00:08:49.740 I don't know what the world has done to everybody.
00:08:52.060 It's all about me.
00:08:52.840 It's all about me.
00:08:53.820 See where life takes us with that.
00:08:55.380 Why do you think that's such a common mentality that we don't owe society anything?
00:08:59.760 Because we're being conditioned to be selfish.
00:09:02.140 We get so far apart from each other, so torn apart from each other.
00:09:06.040 We don't trust.
00:09:07.320 We're not easy to give our hand.
00:09:08.940 We're not that type of people anymore.
00:09:10.920 We're not trying to connect.
00:09:12.420 If we actually connected, we realize that creation is the biggest part of life.
00:09:17.080 We're in a room of creatives.
00:09:18.900 We can't deny our human necessity and need just because we're selfish, because we care about our career.
00:09:24.080 All these things are not going to be there when we're dead.
00:09:26.480 All it cares about is our soul and what we've left.
00:09:28.380 I think a lot of it is obviously as well to do with our environments.
00:09:32.180 For example, myself, growing up in Brazil and then moving to the UK, I live in a predominantly Jewish area.
00:09:40.860 I noticed that the majority of the Jewish families have many, many kids, probably on average four or five.
00:09:47.800 I don't know.
00:09:48.120 I'd just count.
00:09:48.620 But I think obviously it's a hard question to, you know, because the question is directed at women, should they reproduce?
00:09:55.620 I think definitely because I think we do owe something to society based on what's happened in the past.
00:10:01.280 I think a lot of things are not our fault, but we can be part of that change.
00:10:05.400 I think it's obviously hard for me as a man to be the judge of that.
00:10:09.700 But I'd like to empower and support women where I can.
