This phenomenon is vastly underestimated. Electricity can also amplify the influence of TikTok and Temu — a world no longer constrained by energy shortages, with social media less dominated by the West, and a marketplace for cheap and affordable industrial goods. Together, these forces will essentially curb uncontrolled population growth in any country and gradually raise living standards. (Also pakistan and many other countries)

Even North Korea is undergoing some changes. The country has long suffered from energy shortages, and the gradual spread of solar power can help address some of these issues. However, I doubt that North Korea’s geographic conditions will allow for much improvement.

And considering geography, if I understand correctly, the Middle East has once again gained a significant advantage?


Trading uncrontrolled population growth for TikTok sounds like a deal with the devil.
i think no one can stop that from happening.. you have electricity, you have apps. people will have more thinking on the child thing. and more time on the internet and less time on the home.
One thing i think a lot of people forget is the effect of Porn on fertility rates.
lmao what?

Is this some /r/nofap stuff leaking?

It does not take too much brainpower to see the relationship between fast sexual relief through porn and lower fertility rate.
