Is this finally the milkshake Galloway's beak goes to deep into? I sort of doubt it since he's managed to pull out before burning himself too badly before but it is a very dumb piece from a mind with an inability to imagine any future different from the present.

Tying all these problems to 'men not getting partners/married' is the sort of dumb shit that people do when they have severe cultural and philosophical myopia, which he already def does. But it's only a short hop from there & the 'no babies' BS to full blown alt-r*ght.

Our world would almost def be safer, easier to navigate and the human race would be more likely to survive, especially in regards to the climate crisis, if people willingly had more serious thought about having a baby in context. But oh no, then there might not be enough labor.

But oh no, the only meaningful way of doing good is to create more money by improving the economy so we always need to have more babies coming out than adults going into the grave. Thus the author diminishes the value of women to an economic function of labor creation.

All the signature marks of a guy unable to imagine a future that might work fundamentally different from the past. Truly shocking that people look at him as some sort of futurist. He also starts off the piece by bitching at Roxane Gay, which is never a good look.

He's just teetering right there on the fringe.
