The United States fertility rate just hit 1.599 — that’s an all-time low. We are not replacing ourselves. An entire civilization is opting out of its own future. And everyone wants to talk about tax credits and housing costs. Nobody wants to talk about what we spent 40 years putting on television in your living room. Right? Because if you wanted to design a curriculum that would teach an entire generation to distrust marriage, resent family, and view commitment as a trap — you couldn’t have done a better job than prime-time television between 1987 and 2020. But here’s what’s interesting — the television wasn’t the beginning. It was the delivery mechanism. The idea came from somewhere else entirely. And they were very, very clear about what they were doing.
