Immigration will become a competitive ad...

They took a closer look at South Korea, which has a fertility rate of 0.72, which essentially means that a group of 100 South Koreans will have 5 grand kids. The author made observations about how a low birth rate can affect a city (in this case, Seoul). newyorker.com/magazine/20.. #Biohackers Connect

It's wild to think how many generations of women lived out scripts written entirely by biology and social pressure. If we rewrote history with modern freedom, I wonder what the baseline human desire for family would actually look like medium.com/publishous/why..
