      You’re partially misguided, he’s saying girls are ready to have babies younger than before but young boys aren’t up to the task so we need old men to do it.

      Also Trump started dancing when he said that girls are hitting puberty 6 years earlier than they used to which is an odd response.

      Still Epsteinish but not gay.

      While I am sure he would love it if he had made it mandatory to have all children in the country submit nude photographs of their children to him (for health and scientific research, of course… and they need a set taken on their birthdays from ages 1 to 17 from multiple angles and poses in order to make sure that they are developing correctly you see. No perv stuff!) The part where he said he could diagnose the kids was not when they were naked.

      Or maybe I didn’t hear the full quote, I don’t remember.

    They’re trying to justify 65 year old men raping girl children for the “birth rate”. They’re definitely not going to address the fact that families made up of consenting adults can’t afford kids.The public accepting Old men raping little girls is going to be their answer.

    He’s probably mixing up sperm with testosterone level. Somehow the conversation of testosterone levels came up with a group of kids we work with. One of the young adults who is heavily into weight lifting knew his testosterone levels. The 65 year old man in our group had far higher levels. The reason? He nearly died from cancer and is now on hormone therapy. Apparently the levels are set quite high.

    Today, the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone as a 65-year-old man. Our girls are hitting puberty six years early, and that’s bad, but also our parents aren’t having children.

    Let’s practice some critical thinking. Join me!

    Teens have half the sperm count of a senior citizen? I’d maybe believe they’re equivalent? Maybe? He’s getting this from dropping teen pregnancy rates.

    Teens have half the testosterone of a senior citizen? Boolshit on it’s face. So senior men are more aggressive, more horny, stronger and hairier than teens? Stronger bones too! Also, seniors have more zits. Are you teen boys even trying any more?!

    Parents aren’t having children. OK. I’ll let the audience stew on that one a minute.

    We are below replacement right now. That is a national security threat to our country…

    True! Not so much a security threat as an economic threat, maybe the same difference? So what’s the solution? Kick out the foreigners? Hey yo, Japan! How that working out?

    Money says these idiots do what Russia did about their shrinking birth rates. National holiday to stay home and fuck for the Motherland! (Not even joking here.)

      Our replacement rate has been low for a long time, but our population has stayed relatively steady… because of immigration.

      Low replacement rate is only bad if you’re racist/xenophobic. Otherwise there’s usually (in a supposedly first-world country) an easy solution.

      And if you think this is a dig on specifically the US, it isn’t. Japan and South Korea are about to have insane difficulties with a very obvious and simple solution, and the US had that solution and are destroying it in favor of racism and xenophobia.

        I don’t think immigration is bad, but if the “problem” of fertility below replacement is caused by the other problem of people who might otherwise want kids not being able to have them because of economic constraints, focusing on solving the first problem by importing competitive and ambitious skilled professionals seems at least kind of questionable.

          That is not the problem. Population declines as countries move to first world status, and I think the people not having kids due to financial constraints are few and far between. Otherwise population would not start and continue diminishing as an area becomes more affluent. People have less (or no) kids because they don’t want kids, don’t want a bunch of kids, and can reasonably expect the kids they have to survive to adulthood. And access to birth control, education, and other opportunities (mostly for women) makes having less kids (by their own desire) possible.

          So bringing capable workers in means they pay into taxes that support the aging and school-age population, and never had to have their school-age years paid for. They’re a productive member with half the cost over their lifetime.

          It’s a no-brainer… as long as you’re not worried about changing the… shade or hue… of your population over time.

            The reason I’m thinking of it is I recently read this lemmy thread. The article itself is probably AI and not that convincing but I think people are making some good points about the pressures imposed by expense of housing and how those affect the desirability and difficulty of having children.

            Of course a prerequisite for that to matter is that not having children is more of a real choice than it is for people with no resources in a state of poverty. But it isn’t necessarily the case that the difficulty of raising children decreases with country-wide affluence, because wealth inequality is a thing, required resources (like housing space) might become more expensive relative to income despite overall increase in income, and other factors like an increasingly atomized career focused society where community can’t be relied on as much to help raise children and the expectations placed on parents are higher, maybe requiring high daycare expenses.

            So bringing capable workers in means they pay into taxes that support the aging and school-age population, and never had to have their school-age years paid for. They’re a productive member with half the cost over their lifetime.

            I agree in principle with the logic here, but if those capable workers are being placed in competition with a population that is financially struggling, and those taxes are not being used to give those people more breathing room, that productivity isn’t helping and is being employed on the wrong side of a class struggle.

            I think your assertion is unfounded and based on your own unreliable assessment.

            There is no mystery to the fact the all the wealth is silo’d to a small class of people. Your big assumption is that developed country’s are substantially more hospitable to a majority of the population.

            When kindness is considered hostility amongst the general population its no wonder why people wont have kids.

      So senior men are more aggressive, more horny, stronger and hairier than teens?

      I’m old. I’m definitely hairier. I’m also stronger than I was as a teen, though far weaker than I was as a young adult. I also weigh 50% more than I did as a teen, and some of that’s extra muscle. So those points aren’t really relevant.

        At 54 I got hair in weird places, but it doesn’t come back in like it did. Demonstrated great-grandpa’s WWI razor three weeks ago at a party. Forearm hair still bald. Shaved down lots into my 30s, hair rolled right back in. :)

        I’m stronger than I was as a teen, but as a teen I didn’t do much put pedal a bike. Was probably peak around late 20s to early 30s. I think strength is much up to the fact of our bodies automatic limiters. When we’re at peak, our brain still thinks we can handle the same loads, and we can, and sometimes hurt ourselves. Does that make sense?

      Put a picture of Trump under the pillow before you go to sleep. During the night, the supreme wisdom of Trump will be focused by the pillow and absorbed by your subconscious mind. In the morning, you’ll just know the correct answer.

      Also works with university exams. No need to read any books as long as you have the photo of the relevant professor under your pillow.

      Hmmm, even if we allow for empirical scientific evidence, is there a non weird way he knows about the sperm count in the semen of adolescents? I hope he’s making shit up because the alternative is a lot grosser
