Discussed with @martinvars how fertility innovation can solve collapsing birthrates. The key problem behind collapsing birthrates is the increasing % of childlessness (not necessarily family size). Most cases of childlessness are unplanned, many women want children but postpone having them until the "time is right" - but eventually end up being to "old". This "postponing" has a variety of reasons, but a big one is that with a cultures increasing prosperity come increasing opportunities - having a career, traveling, having fun etc. When people "have nothing", children are predominantly what gives meaning - but with increasing prosperity they can be viewed as a "distraction" of enjoying those other things. Many still want children, but not "right now". Other things like the overpopulation myth, difficulty in finding the right partner, culture (e.g. how much motherhood is valued) etc. add to that. So based on first principles, on top of addressing the cultural and other issues, it is crucial to either motivate couples to have children earlier and/or to extend the window of fertility. Extending the window of fertility and making fertility innovation as accessible as possible (e.g. Israel as a use case which is one of the few countries above replacement rate) will help to bring the # of unwanted childlessness down significantly, as woman can have children at later and more "convenient" stages. The above is obviously simplified and the conversation is part of a deep-dive documentary that I am producing about solving collapsing birthrates. My goal with that documentary is to create solution awareness, not only problem awareness, and to show that collapsing birthrates can be solved. Collapsing birthrates and extinction events on earth (e.g. nuclear war) are the two big civilizational risks and we also talked about how building an "embryo reserve" or potentially even sending embryos to Mars/Space could expedite safety measures against an extinction event (e.g. Mars colonization as cost per embryo transport is much lower than cost per human). Advancing fertility innovation and embryo storage helps tackle both major civilizational risks. Thank you @martinvars for your time!

Diese 84.000 würden dann aus Deutschland abwandern (siehe Norwegen, die haben den gleichen Unsinn versucht - und hatten am Ende weniger Steuereinnahmen). Außerdem würde das besteuern von unrealisierten Wertsteigerungen von Firmenanteilen (Großteil des "Vermögens" liegt darin) Deutschland als Wirtschafts- und Gründungsstandort entgültig den Todesstoß versetzen.
