The Hidden Truth About Our Collapsing Birth Rates - Mads Larsen - #868
About this episode
Mads Larsen is a researcher who focuses on the history of human mating ideologies.
The truth can be a tough pill to swallow, but when it comes to saving humanity, even the hardest truth is better than the softest lie. So why is Mads facing outrage for speaking a truth that could save a country?
Expect to learn why Mads was canceled for talking about Norway's declining birth rates, the key reasons why people aren’t having more kids, the underlying psychology behind modern mating, the potential interventions to fix this and much more…
