No country - not CCP China nor Soviet Uzbekistan - has ever seen as fast state-led cultural change as contemporary Saudi Arabia. This is historically unprecedented, enabled via wealth & media connectivity.

7 million men aged 25-54 in the USA are not working What are they doing? Volunteering? Worship? Care-work? “Playing Call of Duty stoned” They report 2000 hours a year of screen time (w/ pain meds) This phenomenon is far less severe in Western Europe wsj.com/podcasts/opini…

Devastating review of the degrowth literature (561 studies): --> 'few studies use quantitative or qualitative data...' --> [those that do] 'tend to include small samples or focus on non-representative cases' -->'large majority (almost 90%) are opinions rather than analysis'

Coupling and Fertility are Falling. In Finland, Mexico, Peru, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey and the US, both are going down. Superb column by @jburnmurdoch A must-read for anyone interested in why fertility is falling, and how to respond. 🧵

Percentage of Indian women who report that they had a say in choose their husband I used the data from icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/IFSS/… To pre-empt replies, the map template omits disputed regions, & wont let me change the names of Odisha & Uttarakhand 12% in Rajasthan, 15% in UP

I often ask women who have migrated to more gender equal countries, “what’s the biggest difference?” They overwhelmingly tell me it’s being able to walk around freely, look up, and make eye contact, without fear. That’s a core part of the Great Gender Divergence.

This is a fantastic example of why it’s so important to triangulate with multiple kinds of data. Zoomers increasingly call themselves “bi”, But are not actually having more gay sex. (Graph by @NickWolfinger)

Have we passed peak intelligence? In international tests, student scores for reading and maths sunk to a new low. US teens are struggling to concentrate & evaluate information. The excellent @jburnmurdoch Warning: this thread is dark 🧵

Male-female friendships are a under-rated driver of gender equality. When women can fraternise freely, they can share ideas, gain respect, & build empathy with men who care about their wants & welfare. Countries with high male-female friendships score better on equality 👇

My hypothesis is that the decline of socialising (Friday nights with the boys) and rise of solitary media consumption (Netflix, video games) have inhibited young men’s development of social skills. If you don’t practise, you don’t improve, & you lack confidence to approach
