Yeah, the Baby Boom, since war somehow increase desire of reproduction somehow. But I always oimagine that 130 years ago USA women used to marry almost as young as still tenns, like 16, 17 years old, and have 4 or 5 kids or more. At least the movies gave that impression.
Here on Brazil people marry early and get kids early the more the poor they are. Even some people, who were from poor family, but got some social ascension, still keep these minds. And such people use to press their kids to follow the same, date in early age, mary in early age...
Instant gratification... Uhnn... that a argument Jared Taylor (racist called as whith supremassist by media-but he call hinself white separatist) use against afro americans.
But I see in black and in white people in my country. The poor most are, more they spent in non important things. I know about people who became somehow wealth, for our country standarts, and spent more than they could, even if now earn 10x more than 10 years ago, and go to ask money (loan) to people that earn less then they. (
A study here showed that most people who wan in lottery lost almost everything few years later.
In this specific point I agree with Ben Shapiro, when he says many poor people are poor because they had poor parenthood, poor behavior, poor planing of economics, poor moral values to adress family and children creation.
But I can see that today if you say such things on USA you became a target of angry left wings. Of courser that this don't necessarilly means that low salaries for good working are ok, and this can really happens in some cases, but USA in general don't have much of this. Or have?
Anyway such things tends to get worse, since worse genes are being passed more often than good genes in our actual society.

I'd say lower IQ people in general plan less and give in to instant gratification more (as opposed to delayed gratification). That would support the hypothesis that they have more children, and at younger ages.
The educated and wealthy (and higher IQ) among us tend to wait until 30 to get married, and then have a very short reproductive window. |
