I think life wouldn't continue if it were to value any other life more than itself.

Agreed with your last sentence. Idk, names change over centuries. Pretty sure most South Koreans in US would still be having Korean names but be American in every other way.
It's less a I am identifying with my cultural group thing and more a fuck it, I was born in America, whatever name I got is an American name now as well.
Again, not saying you are wrong, just saying you could probably find better metrics for level of assimilation than first name preference.

May I ask how long you would enjoy living in a society where year on year the economic decline from population loss is a net negative?
Would you be willing to support depopulation policies if you were informed 20 years from now it would see your income halve?
I ask this as a hypothetical ofcourse but I would be interested in your final response.

You could try to invite the intellectual userbase of rdrama. That's how I ended up here. Some guy messaged me and told me I would be more appreciated here.

Noted. I am guessing this is the equivalent of we like your ideas, but change your style as it's gonna get aggressively negative feedback.

I mean being a genius isn't even all that great. Being smart does not guarantee social success, nor does it guarantee the best income. If you wanted to be rich you would be a businessman. If you wanted to maximize reproductive success you would keep working out. I think one of the primary issues is that on the functional society level we fail to realize that there are multiple solutions and values beyond intelligence. I am pretty sure I can make myself sound smarter than almost everyone I know, but my reproductive success is the lowest nonetheless. You gotta accept the markers then look at where you are deficient and what to do about it.

I would not be surprised if there was a noticeable minority that unironically like the main character in American Psycho. As I understand it the actor who plays the titular character had to go on camera to explain to the people that you aren't supposed to root for the main character. Add in the fact that the main character does reflect a form of masculinity that from his own point of view makes him a tough person, and one can see where the fans who like him genuinely come from.
I have met people in real life who would admit they thought the character of the main psycho was a horrible guy but also a chad.

LOTR is a fantasy genre, most of those thin women movies are action movies or thriller movies. I would argue that one requires a higher standard of realism than the other.

AI is more likely to replace technical jobs than manual jobs though. It's easier to program an AI to figure out a trillion parameters of data then to teach it to walk. Welcome to the upside down where the safest job will be factory worker.

No what I am trying to say is that for life to continue from its personal individual reference point it should value itself more than any other life around it. The moment that is not the case the likelihood of death increases.
I said it. Independent thought.

I do not think so.
To rephrase your question, would you really be happy in a world where you were an exact copy of everyone else instead of such an existence evoking an existential horror of being part of a hive mind making you desire to act out to be visible in some way or form?

When slightly aroused my dick is large,
When slightly dry my ass is rice.
When slightly wet smooth velvety skin covered in sweat
But never for the cam, you see; I am too fat.

What's the point of all that IQ if you have set your entire civilization into the population collapse funnel due to maxing out the intelligence section and single child resource focus segment of your cultural system?

We simply are and to work your way from that seems good enough for the individual but how do you make such frameworks work for entire societies with varied perceptions and norms among individuals?

but Japanese and South Koreans are fit still they do not reproduce more. They have worse wage stagnation in Japan.

; the bulk of the damage was done by developing the norm of both parents working in families.
Which ideology actively supports such a state of existence?

However in Israel there is an extreme poverty rate which would explain the high fertility rate. The rich israeli's aren't the ones reproducing a lot, its the majority poor ones.
Disagree with your final point. America's greatest export of the past century has been it's culture. Name one country without pizza or superman. ( You may argue that Pizza isn't American and I would reply exactly, their cultural propagation is so extreme we even give the Americans claim of non-American western inventions. )
Agreed with everything you said in first para. Cheap birth control makes sense, but birth control is available to every single one of these countries yet they have different fertility rates so birth control isn't the only thing. I don't know how your statement about more global connectivity explains fertility decline. More peaceful world more people can leave their homes harder to find mates in a different geographical environment makes sense. However, any of your points that work are an additional reason for fertility decline but in no way state that feminist ideology is not a part of this population decline.
