RE: What caused the fertility decline? It's not smartphones. There is a much simpler explanation.

I am afraid so! (no pun intended)

I'm quite aware of the exaggeration of fear. It's astounding to me more people are not, since it's rather obvious. Every day, there's a new crisis, new disease, new threat or reason to panic. I've been taking the courses of Peterson Academy (Jordan Peterson's pretty cool brain-child) and one thing I loved is that they focused some courses on reminding you that actually, there is also abundance in our world. The threats are blown out of proportion. There is reason to reproduce and hope for the future. Very important message, if you ask me.
