This week, Natal Conference cofounder Drew Gorham and I discuss what has changed on the issue of demographic decline since last year’s conference, and what we have planned for NatalCon 2025.
Re the Boomercon living vicariously through the liberal kids….No boomers wanted to become their parents. And boomers didn’t want their children to end up like them. So they didn’t. Millennials with a lot of kids (men at least) tend to admire their fathers regardless.
I asked my 13 year old grandson what was the purpose of life, what does he want to do?
All of his answers were self focused. I asked him about kids and he said, “I don’t want kids. I won’t be able to do what I want (skydive, play video games) and spend time with my friends. Having kids would take my money and I couldn’t do what I want.”
(We are doomed).
It led to a wider conversation about the meaning of life. Blank look. No concept at all.

Biggest issues:
Nihilism
Self gratification
