The Future is African

Ғылым және технология

One of my first viral videos on Tiktoks was a video I did on how 'The future would be African', for a number of different reasons. From the fact that while the rest of the world is struggling to produce enough children to naturally replace their population - the majority of African countries have the highest birthrate in the world.
The original TikTok video sparked a number of conversations as to why or why not African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, etc might emerge as world powers by the end of the century. There were a number of comments related to life expectancy, government, infrastructure, education, and I tired to touch on as many as I could in this video.
Let me know what you think!

    Great videos. Do you plan on doing more? As for audio, it sounds like a possible issue could be your environment. It seems a bit far off. Could be cause the microphone is far away or maybe because your room reflects sound a bit. You have brick walls, which is a huge sound reflector. Otherwise, it could be someone improved in your video editor. Great work! I like your videos and hope to see more posted soon. Wish I had the time to do this kind of research to do videos like these. Props to you.

    It's just an education thing. Once the Africans learn that shitting out kids is bad for their financial prospects, they'll stop breeding recklessly. Their higher birth rates is part of their primitive society. As they modernize in more ways than one, their birth rates will decline naturally as they have in the westernized countries for the same reasons. You want to own a house? You want to eat? On your shit wages? Don't have kids. Kids are profitable for the nation, but not for parents. Well... unless you treat your kids like slaves and leave them to starve like a piece of shit. A much more common practice in lawless 3rd world shit-holes than in the developing world. Assuming you actually invest the minimum amount of resources to make your kids amount to something more than child labor, you're going to end up losing on the investment near every time. The kid grows up and moves on, and you're left having given up the best years of your life to give them a leg up. A honorable legacy... but not a financially profitable one. People looking to improve their financial situation will put off having kids, and as a result have less of them, in order to invest in themselves: develop skills, climb the company ladder, establish a nest egg. The more educated and financially savvy the population, the less children they will make. It's practically a law at this point. It' been observed everywhere, across isolated cultures. It's sort of like how progressive tax rates decrease productivity. Why make more money, if the government is going to take it all? You gotta give people an incentive to invest in something. Without the possibility of financial compensation or profit, the only other reason for having kids, is as a luxury, when you have more money than you need. Only a fraction of the population will ever achieve that level of wealth. Last category are accidental pregnancies... but that falls to education. If you know where babies come from, and you have access to contraceptives... you'd have to be a unique kind of stupid to have an accident like that. There's just no way you're going to deprive an industrial civilization of contraceptives. Even if you ban it, they'll invent alternatives. What are you going to do? Ban rubber balloons from existence? Prohibition of birth control pills? Because the war on drugs worked so well before.
