Fertility collapse — the independence channel

Shipped. A Worldviews page testing the argument that liberalism, via female independence and delayed pairing, is collapsing fertility. Bank first, then the page. Named sources (Whatever, Triggernometry, Walsh, Myron, Asmongold, Kirk, Musk) are in the bank’s claim graph, not in the page body.

Bank: /Users/n1/Projects/llm-knowledge-base/01 - Workbench/Fertility Collapse - Research Bank.md

Verdict the page will defend. The independence script is a real delay channel. It is not the force currently moving world fertility. Liberalism-as-the-American-cultural-left fails East Asia and the poor-country crash. Liberalism-as-expressive-individualism still stands. “Destroys civilization” is a further inference about aging and succession, not a synonym for TFR < 2.1.

What was not smuggled in. State-as-substitute-husband (already Suffrage). Schooling chain (already Schooling). Intentional-elite engineering (Basic Logic clips; a different inference). Liberalism-hurts-young-men (different gap; checked cell is liberal young women).

Owner position. None written. The positions note has no natalism stand. This is argument-exam, same pattern as Suffrage.

Outstanding. Kaufmann’s book not opened. Georgia/Ilia II unverified outside Wade. Whatever’s 20s-vs-30s line is secondary report. Five parallel gather lanes were still running when the bank was compiled; they merge if they add a load-bearing claim, they do not rewrite the split.
