Traditional conservative attitudes towards sex evolved to maximize reproduction. Humans are uniquely monogamous among primates, experiencing love and jealousy, because children raised by two parents have a higher survival rate. Human females are unique among mammals in that they don't go into heat to signal ovulation and can have sex outside of this interval. Humans are unique among animals in covering their genitals to avoid sexual signaling, whether it's penis gourds in Papua New Guinea or burqas in Afghanistan. We criminalized behavior like homosexuality because it doesn't lead to reproduction. We enforced patriarchy because women produce more children when they don't have a choice. There is a great deal of controversy over attitudes towards sex. It's not that they are fundamentally right are wrong. It's just the way we were raised and taught to believe. Objectively, we observe population decline in countries and cultures that reject religion and conservative values. ChatGPT doesn't answer these questions. What data and what theories? If I were to list fertility rate, attitudes toward sex, religion, and women's rights, and availability of birth control and abortion by country, I am pretty sure these are highly correlated, making the table more compressible. Then what would you do with this information? ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T6cf3be509c7cd2f2-Me3c04ac975c780c8eab045f9 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
