"Trying to find your purpose in art, travel, or endless self-optimization is Malthusian psych warfare. Population control by spiritual demoralization." Elaborate. I'm an artist, with a family who travels. Don't really agree with this statement. Want to know what you mean by it.

I’m saying that these things aren’t bad in themselves, but when they become the substitute for family, faith, sacrifice, legacy, etc… they become part of a demoralization campaign. One that convinces the masses to find meaning in things that never generate children, commitment, or institutions. That’s why I said Malthusian psych warfare because it aligns perfectly with the goals of those who want fewer people, weaker families, and easier-to-control populations. It’s sterilizing on a spiritual and often literal level.
