My fiancée and I discussed this at length this morning.
We are planning our wedding for next summer in Malibu, with a year-plus gap for planning and coordination since our friends are global.
We want to have kids in the next few years. She is 33, and I am 40.
We reflected on a world without smartphones and rapid access to information:
- Would we have met?
- Without the social pressures of “putting on a show,” would we take over a year to plan our wedding?
- Would we even know about our venues (given social media)?
- In a world less enabled by 24/7 comparative market information, would wedding costs be so high? Or perhaps lower due to competition?
- Would she or I have the “success” we’ve had (we both believe our financial success stems from curiosity and internet access) and the security to afford such a wedding?
- Would our hesitance to have kids too soon or until meeting certain milestones be less?
There are many alternate worlds where she and I already have kids.
There are equally possible worlds where I would never have met the love of my life.
Very nice piece by @jburnmurdoch makes a case for smartphones being responsible for the fertility decline, through channels like
• pure time displacement
• changing (gendered) norms
• decreased socialization

@TulsiGabbard, thank you for your military service.
Outside of that, career politician with a bad track record.
Slow, bad debater, weak academic background, opportunistic AF at the expense of Hawaii’s people.
So mahalo for endorsing Trump.
I hope his loss will finally demonstrate how bad a bet you have been.
