Humanity's Reshuffle: Vitality at the Extremes, Doom for the Middle | Digging into China

Global birth rates are declining as young people increasingly avoid having children, yet the wealthy elite exhibit high fertility, averaging nearly three children compared to the general 1.94. Examples include Elon Musk with 14 children and others like Bernard Arnault. This disparity reflects primal instincts like the Coolidge Effect, where elites can afford multiple partners, reverting to animal-like behaviors unconstrained by social norms. Meanwhile, urban middle classes shun reproduction due to hedonistic individualism and rising costs, despite subsidies in welfare states like Norway. Rural and poor areas maintain higher rates influenced by traditional values. Resulting migrations from high-fertility regions to low-fertility cities reshape societies, replacing populations and altering cultural landscapes through a comprehensive demographic reshuffle. This reveals vitality at societal extremes, with the middle class squeezed between elite oppression and lower-class assimilation.
