    Wonderful to have been invited to Trinity College Oxford this evening to screen "Birthgap - Childless World". Thank you to all the students who made this happen... Q&A lasted an hour - my favourite question was why this documentary could have been cancelled at Cambridge...

    A huge thank you to @KonstantinKisin & @francisjfoster for the invite to discuss the world's deepening birthgap crisis on TriggerNometry. I enjoyed this conversation immensely (and the curry afterwards!) Too few people appreciate the significance of what's happening across the

    Are we headed towards a future with fewer people? Data scientist @StephenJShaw never imagined he would make a film ‘Birthgap - Childless World’. We explore the reasons behind worldwide declining birth rates, the implications for pensions and retirement, the concept of natalism,

    Replying to @FreeRangeKids and @LetGrowOrg
    In Japan children walk / commute to school on their own from around 6 year old. Visitors are often shocked to see this - but it's more of an eye opener as to what has happened to childhood in other parts of the world...

    An exceptionally balanced summary of the tactics used by cancel-culture to censor the "Birthgap - Childless World" documentary at Cambridge University this month. I will never stop telling the #birthgap story... @jordanbpeterson @rustyrockets @ChrisWillx @thecoastguy

    I enjoyed recording this podcast with the great @ZubyMusic - and hope it can increase awareness of the birthrate crisis that is already bringing misery to many, and will change "life as we know it" for every single one of us... socially and economically.

    This is one of my most interesting (and concerning) podcasts, so I'm uploading it directly to X for maximum reach. Real Talk with Zuby Ep. 291 @StephenJShaw is a data scientist and demographer. His documentary ‘Birthgap’ explores the global decline in birth rates.

    No nation in history has been known to recover from long-term low birthrates. Its time to focus the world's attention on solving this crisis.

    A milestone: "Birthgap - Childless World" (Part 1) reached 250k views on YouTube a few moments ago... Ironically, approx 100k of these were generated indirectly by the Cambridge students who wanted to cancel the documentary from being screened on their campus... A huge thank
