🚨 Crazy Talk 🚨

I’m sure everyone is familiar with the way birthrates are collapsing all over the place and this is often associated with higher income people wanting fewer children.

However that doesn’t really make sense, unless income is negatively correlated with sexual activity and I doubt it is, or it hasn’t ever been shown.c

So why are birth rates collapsing and why do wealthy countries lead this?

1). Sperm counts have collapsed. Everywhere that births are down, sperm counts are down. It’s not some choice, it’s not abstinence or contraceptive. It’s sperm. The data is in and wealthy sperm is bad sperm.

Why does sperm go bad in wealthy countries when poorer countries don’t have this issue?

2). Nanoplastics are everywhere. Nanoplastics are smaller than microplastics, nanoplastics are actually small enough to diffuse across the cell membrane and into cells. Whilst your skin is good at defending your body from this kind of stuff by dropping dead cells, it’s much tougher on the inside.

Last year medical studies measured that mice who ingested nanoplastics would become infertile because nanoplastics accumulates in the testes! They observed nanoplastics accumulating in mice testing and this correlated with infertility.


More recently scientists discovered that bottled water measurably contains 100,000x more nanoplastic than previously thought…

This seems like a smoking gun, it seems like lung cancer and smoking.

It seems that plastic packaging of food and drinks causes infertility we now have a mechanism for the hypothesis and this hypothesis is very strongly correlated with data of national wealth, sperm counts, and fertility rates across world population groups.


So fellas… no plastic bottles, no plastic packaged food.
But perhaps more so… boys and young men should definitely not be eating / drinking this stuff.

I think some governments are going to put all this together and figure this out in the next couple of years. But no need to wait for that.

We're so screwed. Here in Japan everything is double wrapped, it's ridiculous.

I think not. Birth rate in humans is not related to fertility. Humans get hundreds or thousand chances to reproduce over their lifetime. Sperm counts number in the millions even if they are less viable. The chances that fertilisation happen and a successful pregnancy follows are super super high any...

If microplastiscs are the problem we would see enormous lines in the fertility clinics around (people want to have babies but they can't for some reason). That's not the case, though. In fact, we see more and more people going to fertility clinics to freeze their eggs/sperms and not to get help in h...

Do you have any evidence that poorer countries have less exposure to plastics?
