The selection effects of this transition will be really fascinating to see after the fact. The species has spent a long time under selection pressure for "having more kids", but is being subjected for the first time to "having more kids while extreme prosperity and modern telecommunications exist" which is a very different thing.

Unfortunately a lot of people are now saying we need extreme curtailing of rights -- largely womens' rights -- because of underpopulation. The answer to every panic is always curtailing of rights. Scary thing may happen therefore we need big alpha ape to fix it for us by bashing people on head with big rock. Grunt, grunt.
Which people are saying we need to curtail womens' rights because of underpopulation?
Which betting markets were you referring to and where can they be viewed?
One that comes to mind is

> Essentially, this was the cheapest solution for our “limousine liberals” to address the problem of racial and economic segregation in San Francisco’s public schools
It is frustrating to see this happen when —while it would be more expensive— they could’ve dealt with that by just
Just what?
I don't see Israel willing to recognize a Palestinian state, it's even threatening with consequences those who do. This doesn't prevent Israel from being recognized, does it?
Israel in 2025 is very hostile to a 2 state solution. However your original claim was "for decades", and decades ago the situation and politics were not the same
Those numbers are sadly an undercount.
Sources: July 29, 2025, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 60,000+ fatalities, including around 31% children.
Independent research suggests the real death toll could be far higher. A Lancet study estimated 64,260 deaths from traumatic injuries between October 2023 and June 2024 alone, possibly rising to 70,000+ by October 2024, with women, children and elderly representing nearly 60% .
A survey by Nature suggests around 84,000 deaths by early January 2025.
The Economist estimates the undercount could be 46–107% higher than official figures, suggesting between 77,000 and 109,000 deaths, or 4–5% of Gaza’s pre-war population
True, this is mentioned in the above. Also notable because doubt has been cast in some quarters on the GHM's trustworthiness

Grok blamed Elon Musk for the deaths of the girls at Camp Mystic.
That should be in the headline not a tiny paragraph at the bottom.

Not my exact words, but close enough: Trump's NOAA cuts, pushed by Musk's DOGE, slashed funding 30% and staff 17%, underestimating rainfall by 50% and delaying alerts. This contributed to the floods killing 24, including ~20 Camp Mystic girls. Facts over feelings.
The entire Holocaust is shaped by 90's Hollywood movies. Can you not see how Art Spiegelman's 1980's "Maus" is nothing like how it is told today?
The UK is to British period dramas as Hollywood is to Holocaust movies. Could we not occasionally pick another genocide FFS and the UK make another season of Red Dwarf.

In what respects?
> I'd probably be considered left (or even far-left) by Israeli standards, but I'm in the "pro-Israeli" camp as conventionally understood online.
Would you consider ethno-nationalists of other nations (far) left, based on (speculating) their economic/women's rights/LGBT/other social stances?
(Orthogonally, I can certainly empathize with being pro-something, but not pro-everything-that-something-does. There's certainly nothing intrinsic to a Jewish state that would require firing at unarmed crowds.)
Nationalism could be seen as a "left" movement in the first place in that it often served as an ideology of revolution against the (imperial) powers that be. There have been many prominent leftist nationalist movements and parties, from Sinn Fein to the PKK.
"ethnonationalism" is a redundancy, ethne and natio are just the Greek and Latin words for the same concept
