Women in South Korea have too much power and they know it.
Much of it is due to male female imbalance. 1.1 males per female.
The result is 0.7 birth rate

I think I know the answer.
I will post in a different thread
Why are Korean men more conservative? Men want to have children plural but their wives want zero or one. And because of the gender imbalance they can’t divorce and find a new spouse easily.
Why are Korean women becoming more liberal?
The same reason women in America and Europe have become more liberal: social status, career advancement, birth control pill , morning after pill, peer pressure

why why why
I’ll tell you WHY:
Guys like Judea Pearl receive the Turing Award for writing books like “The Book of Why” which serves only to obscure the simple reality that the social sciences should have, starting in the 1960s, been funded entirely by the trickledown from prize awards for compression of comprehensive datasets.
The problem is, of course, that if such an incentives-oriented social science took root, guys like Judea Pearl would never receive Turing Awards. Israel has the highest birth rate in the developed world because of the Holocaustian industry’s propaganda and we can’t let on that this may have depressed the TFR in the rest of the developed world by replacing Christianity with Holocaustianity.
Discovering that fact in a rigorous and unbiased social science would be antisemitic!

These things have a way of working themselves out. The good news is that the spiteful mutants aren’t breeding; low fertility among certain groups is a feature, not a bug. Granted, even the right-hand side is still below 2.1 TFR but it’s in the right ballpark. The West is going through a selection event and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

In the 90s, shortly after it looked like the only relatives my immediate family would end up with a generation hence were LDS, I ran a little study that looked for a figure of merit:
Republicans per capita * population density
This I did because I suspected there was something really nasty going on in urban areas that was distorting not just psychology. “Lot’s Wife Syndrome” I called it to one of my female LDS in-laws. I half expected Salt Lake City to come out on top.
Nope.
Orange County by a landslide.
Look at California today.
Yep…

They are the same map.
“Crossing the threshold to eusociality requires only that a female and her adult offspring do not disperse to start new, individual nests but instead remain at the old nest.”
Among my litmus tests is the reaction to this:
Humane societies raise boys to, by the age of 18, have debt-free ownership of a homestead that they, under the guidance of the men of their society, have themselves built, capable of supporting a mate and one infant.

I don’t know if it is a factor, but the male female ratio in South Korea was skewed in the 1989s to 115 to 100 vs a natural 105 to 100.
As I predicted, abortion would be used for eugenics. I didn’t know at the time it was already happening in S Korea.
It’s about woman’s bodies. LMFAO.

It’s a really bad idea to overproduce males unless you intend on playing the game most de facto polygynous culture do:
Emigrate the excess to invade the West and if that isn’t enough, kill or castrate the remaining excess.
If you don’t, the high male to female ratio is a very inelastic market and women (or should I say females) start to get really squirrely as evidenced in anyone who went to an engineering school in the peak of boomer female fertility witnessed. University of Illinois (you know… where Kubrick said HAL9000 was developed) was inflicted on me for a short time and I saw all I needed to see of that sterile worker factory.

Women have too much power in S Korea because they know most Korean men are a dime a dozen.
I have advised my Korean friends to look for a wife in Japan
Edit: The gender imbalance is a huge factor. Civilization can survive if there are too many women but cannot survive if there are too many men

Curt Doolittle’s unforced error was to declare that war was a way to cull the less intelligent from the gene pool.
I suspect he was being manipulated into that rookie mistake. Even assuming he really believed it to be true, I can guarantee that he can be taken out regardless of his “high IQ”*. This is what makes me believe he was set up by a parasite wanting us to go to war and harm each other. Parasites cause selective brain damage.
*That is assuming, of course, that Musk’s billion soldiers don’t serve to replace the base of the what WD Hamilton called the heroic gene pool.
And Musk is another candidate for an extended phenotype of his parasites threatening to take him and us out. Centralizing everything in one man is EXACTLY what parasites have done to various civilizations throughout history. Centralize centralize centralize as one “pairs” one self at the “side” of a second or third rate “leader” that one has helped make king by neutralizing his betters – then take the pile of hoarded gold and run when everything collapses. “Whatchagonnadoaboutit, huh? huh? huh? NAZI!!!”
That reminds me of an interaction I had while trying to salvage Cyc as one way of getting Etter’s relation arithmetic an engine far better than the Prolog sub-project at Internet Chapter 2: Somehow the topic of Georgist land value tax came up and one of Lenat’s girls’ fathers who was there (who was bragging about sexual exploits around Lake Baikal presumably because he was a fan of Feynman or something):
“That was a fascist doctrine.”
