How Will Korea Survive A 94% Population Reduction? - Malcolm Collins

Malcolm Collins is a pronatalist, Stanford MBA graduate, venture capitalist and an author. What would the world actually look like if only the global population was only 500 million people? Given the current birth rate projections, we’re approaching a massive collapse. If you think a planet with too many people on it is bad, a planet with too few is even worse. Expect to learn why Korea is projected to experience a 94% population extinction within the next century, why so few people actually want to have kids in 2023, why a ‘super virus’ has taken over the progressive movement, whether prosperity, equality, education and fertility are incompatible with each other, whether authoritarianism could fix this problem, if there’s a moral obligation to have children, the implications of using new technology for gene-editing & birthing via artificial wombs and much more...

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Malcolm Collins and Chris Williamson, How Will Korea Survive A 94% Population Reduction? - Malcolm Collins explores malcolm Collins Warns: Prosperity Is Quietly Engineering Humanity’s Demographic Collapse Malcolm Collins argues that rapidly collapsing fertility rates, especially in rich countries like South Korea, pose a civilizational crisis that current economic and cultural systems are structurally unable to solve. He links sub‑replacement birth rates to a combination of prosperity, education, and gender equality, plus a dominant ‘urban monoculture’ that devalues parenthood and long‑term meaning in favor of short‑term comfort and status. Collins predicts a future where only a few technophilic, high‑fertility subcultures (notably conservative religious groups) remain demographically significant, radically reshaping politics, culture, and even human nature via selection effects. He and his wife are actively experimenting with a new high‑fertility, tech‑embracing family culture, including IVF and embryo genetic screening, which he frames as decentralized, family‑level “cultural evolution” rather than state‑driven eugenics.
