761. Why Aren’t People Having Kids? Meaning, Culture & Modern Life – With Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce

I’m joined by Dr Helen again to explore the deeper cultural, psychological, and philosophical roots of declining birth rates across the modern world. Moving beyond economics and policy, they examine what happens when meaning, identity, and embodiment begin to erode in contemporary life.

The discussion touches on everything from the role of religion and community, to the impact of anxiety, digital culture, and shifting social norms around relationships, sex, and family. They question whether modern materialism and the pursuit of convenience have unintentionally undermined one of humanity’s most fundamental drives: the desire to reproduce.
