People are more likely to be born in poor families in the west because less education means higher fertility

So the low class bogan and redneck stereotype is the future in the west. So all the moneymaxxers y'all gonna die out. Especially if your a female with high education.

Huh? Isn't that more likely for third-world countries? Africa's birthrates are skyrocketing btw.

The West is very wealthy and well-educated, and overall fertility has dropped.

I guess that could be a trend if Western societies become less wealthy over time

Third world countries have high fertility even if they're wealthy cuz a rich man can have multiple children and multiple wives for even more children.

But wealth brings down number of children in western developed countries.
That's where the stereotype of the welfare queen with 8 kids comes from

What are you trying to get at here?

Or was it an error in the title?

Africa is economically and infrastructure-wise less developed compared to the West.

I just remembered professor Edward Dutton talking about how IQ was dropping in the west. But I guess it doesn't matter now with AI.

Africa and India and middle east are still breeding well.

Oh I now get the point of your thread, being moreso a prediction of the future rather than the current state of affairs, just wasn't clear in the title.

I think the major leaps in IQ for developed countries have largely been a result of improved nutrition during childhood, along with a greater general access to education. However, this has clearly been exhausted. At best, we could uplift places that are behind in these metrics to raise the average by a bit, but that's really about it. Not only that, but due to AI and a number of other factors, kids' brains don't seem to be getting sufficiently challenged in order for neuroplasticity to fully kick in, and this will probably be an enduring trend. To put it simply, we have plateaued at the moment.

But yeah, if AI reaches a point where it leaves human cognitive ability in the dust, then it won't really matter.
