    The actual cause of the sex imbalance in China is because in Chinese culture, the son is supposed to take care of his parents when they are too old to work, while a female would leave the family when she gets married.

      This is also true in pre democratic Korean culture. We didn't have a one child policy, but boys were favored because women were considered property of their husband's family. And a daughter would not be able to care for her aging parents. How an apparent intellectual and professor doesn't know this seems preposterous. It just seems like he's just plain racist and intentionally spreading hate against asians.

    I'm not sure why no one brought up why Chinese couples wanted males. Males take care of the parents as the parents age. So married couples take care of the male's parents, while the female's parents would have to be taken care of by their male child. If they don't have a male child, they don't get taken care of. Homelessness among Chinese senior citizens is on the rise.

      @@lachlanbell8390 Evolution has nothing to do with a one-child policy or a society that has traditional philosophical norms that men will take care of their parents as they age. Societies don't just magically generate more males so they can invade their neighbors. That is astoundingly idiotic and has nothing to do with evolution. Just because YOU don't understand the concept of evolution and can't recognize a huckster pretending to be an intellectual, doesn't mean normally educated people won't either. Evolution is a biological function that takes generations to reach minor changes through mutation and natural selection. Unnatural selection through societal actions by definition cannot be natural evolution, nor can accidental selective breeding over a couple of generations turn humans into insect colonies with large numbers of disposable drones, even as a population faces declining births. This isn't Pokemon, kid. Metamorphosis is not evolution and evolution is not magic. Read Darwin "On the Origin of Species," this chump sure as hell didn't.

      @@jumpinjohnnyruss A dowry is a gift presented to the married couple from the parents of the bride when their daughter marries. It is usually money and/or property. Its value can often be quite substantial. Especially because they are heavily tied to prestige and status. Dowries are a widespread cultural phenomenon and also an aspect of Chinese tradition
      As such, when the law mandates you are only allowed to have one child, it might well feature as part of the motivation for why daughters might be less desirable than sons. Regardless of whatever demographic impact that decision has. If you are poor and cannot afford a dowry for a daughter to marry someone, there is considerable pressure on you to get a son instead. Because not only do you not have to pay a dowry--in fact if your son does marry, he will receive it, but a son is seen as more likely to be able to look after you in your old age. Neither of these factors revolve around breeding a lonely generation of soldiers, yet that seems to be the only possible motivation to Weinstein.

      Legit quantitative studies can be done on how much culture is constrained by genetics, and statistical methods from evolutionary bio can perhaps be useful to study the diversity and transmission of culture (Dawkins coined the word "meme" to talk about units of cultural change). But this handwaving just-so stories of "the Chinese do this" and "the Germans do that" would be laughed at in an evolutionary biology setting.

    @schildkroete 5 місяців тому +22

    Brett Weinstein clearly doesn't understand traditional Chinese culture, which he could learn by simply looking it up. Like European culture, Chinese culture is historically patriarchical, and in pre-industrialized China, the only way to continue the family name was to have a son to carry it. Daughters would move in with their husbands' families once they married, and for many parents in that society, investing in the raising of a child to adulthood only for them to be married off to another family was a huge financial strain on the family, especially when most families lived in multi-generational homes and the next generation was responsible for taking care of the parents in old age. That was the whole point of a dowry.
    It was logical from their cultural POV, and this doesn't even reflect modern Chinese families anymore. All it takes is for Mr. Weinstein to do a little research into the historical context of it all. Meanwhile, in the 19th century, America banned Chinese women from immigrating to the States long before it banned Chinese men from immigrating for another 60 years. Specifically, white Americans accused Chinese women of all being prostitutes and carrying venereal diseases, when in fact they didn't want the Chinese to marry and reproduce within US borders. Oh how much the present continues to echo the past...

Weinstein has a serious demeanor. Most people can't take him seriously. It's because they themselves can't be serious, not because he isn't. Fani Willis' responses to serious questions were unhinged. She failed to show basic decency. The way she responded was her own derogatory treatment of the serious questions. Leftists hear the truth and they become derogatory: "You're a racist."

    BW is an evolutionary biologist.

    If this clip is taken out of context and he's talking about non-human animals and plants it makes sense. If he's talking about humans with culture and authoritatian politics it's a complete non sequitur bc its culture/politics and not genetic variation that are controlling how people behave. 100% what Dawkins said.

      The prevalence of male offspring is directly caused by the one child policy in conjuction with the cultural preference for male kids (there's an earlier comment where someone elaborates on the specifics), which resulted in potential female offspring commonly being aborted, and even instances of female infanticide.

    There’s no “evolution” here, just sociology and sexism. Chinese people were limited to one child, and social pressures heavily in favor of males meant couples were statistically more likely to abort female fetuses. The trend never corrected itself partly because those same sexist pressures remain in place and partly because the gender imbalance only became apparent relatively recently. Nobody really knows what can or should be done about it, anyway, since this has pretty much never happened before. The closest analogues would be early Rome or Colonial South America which had mostly men and almost no women, so they just kidnapped women from somehwere else. Something tells me China isn’t planning to raid Vietnam or Mongolia or something to fix their sex imbalance.

Male kids were sadly valued more in a society which probably contributed significantly towards the tilt in demographics.

    Bret is talking about m/f birthrates balancing out from an evolutionary "rule of thumb" standpoint as indicated by data collected from decades of multiple and ongoing human population/demographic studies. Whether a fetus will become male or female or other is not an individual's conscious decision obviously, and he isn't talking about eugenic gender manipulation. Bret is an evolutionary biologist. Although he does often preface his assertions with: "from an evolutionary biologist's standpoint, ..." when he doesn't, it would not be wildly speculative to infer that he perceives and evaluates information from that perspective.

    The Evergreen State College must be so relieved that they no longer have to humour this person.

    Brett has the most believable hair I’ve ever seen. That is totally not fake hair, everyone. It is a glorious full head of natural hair. Hahaha

    Worst looking rug I’ve seen in a looong time 👀. Did he kill a bunch of squirrels and place them on his head ?.
