I imagine nobody has this data, but presumably the correlation between birth control / women’s empowerment and lower birth rates is because maybe most humans were conceived unintentionally? Like, what’s the moral implications of most people being accidents, is that a massively taboo topic or is it just so uninteresting that nobody talks about it?

    I suspect now 80 years later we’re at a much narrower elongated triangle shape again.

    Nope, every developed country with a birthrate below 2.1 (surprise, that’s every developed country) currently has a vase shape with the peak at people around 50-60 years, which is a massive problem for pensions. Social systems are going to be challenged massively
