So patriarchy is cause both high and low birth rates?

You make interesting points and much of what you say is largely true in that we could create a better world if we incorporated more perspectives including an especially the female perspective. This idea of everything would be perfect if there was a matriarchy could be just wishful thinking. Especially since you say it's never been tested on the large scale. Blaming all society's problems on a particular group is not a responsible or a conscious leadership trait. Under a matriarchy what is to stop the more greedy, aggressive, and corrupt women from running amok? What metrics would you use that would indicate that we are now living in a "matriarchy" and everything is finally ok? You could argue that the current system has become less greedy over time and more equitable and therefore it could be hypothesized that a better society can be run with a more conscious form of patriarchy too.

Yes you probably don't fall into this dilemma because you are probably more conscious than 99% of women (and men) but I think a lot of women do, just like many minorities do. I assume those women who bring up "the patriarchy" in every sentence do. And many women I know do that.

It's not a black and white issue but a million shades of grey. While the US isn't perfect its arguably the "cleanest dirty shirt in the laundry hamper". The fact remains that in Iran you get arrested and maybe killed if you speak out against the regime on TV yet in the US you can still do that (for now lol). This is what they talk about in the interview and it's fascinating to see both sides of the debate play out.

Hey thanks for checking it out. Yes it was incredible to watch Piers bringing this up and his guest had no reply except anger. I wonder if Piers went to Iran would he be kidnapped and killed, yet his guest insists he does that.

Destiny goes meta and makes a video with an integralist. Destiny debates himself in a video title "what if both sides are right?"

Piers Morgan is a UK based journalist. I think all perspectives are worth listen to if you want to learn how the world works. Perhaps you would agree with the Iranian professor and thus you might enjoy the interview after all.

Good points

The patriarchy might be one reason but then how does it explain Africa and the middle East where there is more patriarchy and very high birth rates? And Iceland, a country with the most gender equality, still have low birth rates below replacement?

In this segment he quickly dismantles a socialist's argument. Destiny is a good example on how to debate well no matter what the position is.

I was impressed too, glad you found it interesting!

So true, he could be so much more.

Ding dong the witch is dead

Whether he wins or loses Destiny is a skilled debater. This video is a fascinating debate on morality, the nature of reality and perception is also discussed. T.K Coleman is also exceptional in this debate. A good example of how to debate in a mature and productive way.

@Leo Gurayou did an absolute amazing job in the demystifyscience podcast. It was a pleasure to watch. It was funny how the female co-host had a similar reaction to the general public which is to resist. Even people like her can be so closed minded! The only areas where they didn't let you explain further and thus your points didn't hit was the part about science being higher than fundamental religion. And the second was that Jesus's last words were "father, why have you forsaken me?" And not "forgive father for they don't know what they do".

Here's another example of great debate skills by Destiny. Especially this case against an opponent who uses personal attacks and anger rather as a strategy.

This segment of the video is a great example of how to discuss controversial subject like declining birth rates in a mature and scientific way.

Fascinating conversation! Have a listen. Remember the better you understand the opposite gender the better you can attract them and the better lover of them you can be

Another good debate. Whether he wins or looses Destiny debates really well.

True, I think op ment don't approach women who aren't giving you signs.

Do ants realize they have been in contact with more intelligent life? Maybe our brains aren't developed enough to have realized it yet.

Sorry to hear that's your experience. I find that OP is right and that women show obvious signs.

Awesome interview @Leo Gurayou have demonstrated yet again what a masterclass in discussion, philosophy, spirituality, etc looks like. You did it all while being entertaining, respectful, and collaborative. Thanks!
