Transcript
The actions of the West are indistinguishable from suicide. And look, at least in America, there's generally a sense of optimism. But when's the last time you you talk to someone from Europe who lives in Europe who's optimistic? Decades. Like even one, unless people have a sense of optimism and purpose about the future, suicide might be just what happens. Like having a child is an act of optimism about the future. I think we need to maybe give people a sense of optimism and excitement about the future and and a belief that the future will be better than the past and they'll be more interested in having kids.
Did religion play a role in the past, Elon, to kind of plate and make folks feel that way? Nature abhors a vacuum and if you take away religion then I think you actually you get something in its place which is actually worse than what was there before. I mean it's like destructive basically. You get you get like the white work mind virus filling filling the hole that religion used to have taking the place of religion. You get these dystopian de facto religions that are that are very very self-destructive.
