Source refs: `video:predictive-history-35hrplvyf0g@transcript:v1#seg-0018`, `video:predictive-history-35hrplvyf0g@transcript:v1#seg-0022` - model: The purely evolutionary strategy in which every woman seeks the top male cannot be socially sustainable, because too many men would be eliminated from reproduction. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-he4l9wylf3u@transcript:v1#seg-0011`, `video:predictive-history-he4l9wylf3u@transcript:v1#seg-0012` - model: Growing, competitive societies solve reproductive pressure through arranged marriage, while wealthy overpopulated societies produce a dating game where marrying up becomes the path to status. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-he4l9wylf3u@transcript:v1#seg-0023`, `video:predictive-history-he4l9wylf3u@transcript:v1#seg-0024` - diagnosis: Pronatalist financial incentives fail in Jiang's model because people want status, and status or power is zero-sum while money is not. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-he4l9wylf3u@transcript:v1#seg-0025` - diagnosis: Jiang says a strong indicator of civilizational collapse is wealthy, well-educated women refusing to have children.

Source refs: `video:predictive-history-he4l9wylf3u@transcript:v1#seg-0030` - prediction: Israel is presented as the only wealthy Western high-tech society where women choose to have more than two children, giving it a major growth advantage under current conditions.
