In humans, it has come to mean, do you want eight children who live lean and start life lean, share clothes and toys, may not go to college, because we can't afford it?

Or, do you want one or two children who have life's advantages, have fun, and don't have those pressures of having to share, and who do go to college?

K has been the way of the Western world since the end of WW II. It seemed to work nicely for several generations, but it has produced problems too.

R has been the way of the East and the South since forever. It is the human norm. K was the innovative and unprecedented thing.

K has led to fewer Westerners being around, and the sheer numbers of the non-Western has meant that they increasingly get their way. And why not. Of course. If you don't show up, well where are you? Non-existent people can't vote.

Another thing that happened that wasn't expected was the diminished prestige of the woman who was home raising kids, and a lot of kids. Gradually, "I'm just a housewife," led to "OMG you are NOT having a kid NOW," and "she just pumps them out. She's a breeder."

NOBODY would have used such nauseatingly disrespectful language about a mother or motherhood before 1950.

The "baby boomers" resulted from a burst of enthusiasm for life and love for peace, home, children, after the horrors of WW II.

But the boomers' parents were having two, or three, or maaaaybe four kids. Only one kid was considered weird. "Only children are always spoiled. You need two," was the thinking. But more than two? No. Let's buy a house and have plenty.

The women were thinking differently.

The ads showed them in pearls and heels, pushing vacuums instead of pushing a broom. New appliances were making things sparklier and easier. But they were still home.

In the late Sixties, the untenable paradox of being home but not having that many kids, and therefore having empty days, exploded in the Women's Movement and the women left the home.

Then the home lost its anchor and the divorces happened.

The children of those divorces are today's parents or non-parents.

Their kids, the Antifas, know their futures have been looted, meaning, marriage was destroyed. That is why they crave belonging, and of course the colleges have become horrible places. Whatever humanity they arrived with was expunged by their Residential Advisor in the Freshman Year Experience program, which is national. Leftism, blah blah.

So that's R versus K.

Every problem you see today can be traced to simply not having enough children in the past.

Is it too late to catch up? Not quite.
