The genes say otherwise. Strong families are the only ones surviving prosperity induced population collapse globally.

Infect, Israel is the only Western nation that has a fertility rate above replacement. Probably because it is predominantly comprised of Jews and Muslims, who seem to value family much more than us heathens.

The orthodox communities in the western countries are growing, but not at a faster rate than the secularists disappear.

Indeed. And such hobbies are a healthy and productive outlet for this kind of energy

That depends on what the hobby is of course. Also, it's not necessarily healthy. Being unable to switch your attention away from your hobby tends to cause problems in other areas of your life like neglecting the housework, your partner, your children, your health etc. That's part of the reason why these things are classed as disabilities.

These days the language tends away from “disability” towards “differently abled” - we can accommodate people with special needs and they can outperform “norms” in many fields.
