Irish monks who are afraid of spiders have been known also believe in fairies. So spiders are causing them to believe in fairies!!!
None of this has anything to do with beliefs, race, sexual orientation, alien lizard people, moon cycles, ocean currents or tarot card readings.
Smart people have the foresight to see that the world isn’t getting to be a better place. In fact, it is scientifically proven to be getting worse. Scientists have been warning us about it since as early as the 1920s.
Couple that with people educated enough to read actual peer reviewed studies and you have a massive influx of factually educated young people that don’t want to bring new life into a society that seems hell bent on self elimination.
Which is precisely the plot of the movie Idiocracy. But much funnier.

You must be looking at a different article. The title even says it, very boldly. Left = decline. Can’t get much more click bait polarized than that.

This is an over dramatization of a coincidental blip found in looking at statistical data. A very far cry from anything remotely factual or definitive.
Just fairy talk that someone decided to try and use as a political tool.
Critical thinking isn’t involved past the study itself.
