None of these are good explanations. They're all either red herrings or Western-centric. Birth rates are falling in all cultures among all races with all religions and all belief systems. Only the rate of decline differs, and not by that much. Another post pointed out that it correlates strongly with urbanization, which is better, but it still couldn't resist getting lost in irrelevant culture war stuff that clearly doesn't matter else we wouldn't see such uniform declines across all cultures. The depopulation discourse drives me nuts because it seems like everyone jumps on their favorite culture war or economic hobby horse instead of looking at what is actually happening, which clearly rules a lot of that out.
