Women don't have babies without men(world most affected)
About this episode
"This is the weirdest alternative-universe Terminator Skynet fanfic yet."
Brian and Alison pick up the Cambridge fertility paper again, which is now proposing round-the-clock childcare complexes and co-housing to persuade urban women to reproduce without men.
Also: what two centuries of army load-carriage studies settled about the weight a man can carry indefinitely, why single mothers' fertility falls with every generation — it held up when there were uncles, granddads and brothers to lean on, and doesn't in a man desert — and how liberalising employment law in Korea took the family cartels down with it.
"We are a biparental species that engages in pair bonding. A male is what the female is supposed to want. The end. Astoundingly controversial to say here, but this is just first principles."
"Nobody at Cambridge sat down with these people and said hold up, wait a second. Nobody even thought this might affect Cambridge's reputation. That's where we are — maybe we shouldn't advocate enslaving half the human race. No, slavery is back in style."
