1/ the worst thing about the crashing birthrates is this specific implication: every year, fewer people find a special someone they instinctively want to have kids with.
This is how advanced civilisations fall to barbarians...because the advanced become narcissistically self destroying while the barbarians are realize that without babies, there is no tomorrow.
Agree with others here, also want to add video games, movies, etc. It allows mental rewards without actually doing the thing, whatever thing. Mine craft, eating, sleeping, building, farming, my claim is the brain says good job buddy and gives rewards, but in reality nothing has been done. Then same experience with movies, could even be with novels- but that's slower. It's the quick rewards to the brain, the social media likes and shares, the video game stats, we get hooked on them. They become our reality.
