【接这里，再次解释这件事：https://t.me/iyouport/13600 】

城市社会与传统社会有着本质的区别。这是两个完全不同的体系，包括价值体系都不同。传统社会以生存为目的，因此它有特定的人口繁衍方式：用高出生率作为对高婴儿死亡率的回应。城市工业社会的目标是提高生活质量，因此出生率较低，因为随着生活质量和水平的提高，婴儿死亡率高的问题也就基本消失了。

也就是说，城市化导致“人”从资源变成了资本。但统治者经常不知道该如何利用人力资本；统治者作为民族国家系统的代理人，他们只需要把人作为一种资源，最大程度地“开采”，就是“成功”，这就让他们可以在冒险中/在混蛋政策中，随意挥霍人命。如您所见。

提高福利对促进生育的作用极低，不夸张的说，接近0。

这就是无法解决的矛盾所在：政权把提高出生率的任务定到了绝对无法想象的水平 —— 比如说“三胎”，这对于地球上任何一个城市社会来说都是闻所未闻的。这种按指标生孩子的表述本身就说明了政策制定者对城市社会进程的完全误解。

Indian voters reject Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for a one-party state in win for competitive democracy.

CNN reports: "In what opposition parties have declared as a victory for pluralism, voters in the world’s largest democracy partially rejected Modi’s populist vision for a Hindu-first nation, reducing the BJP’s share of the vote by 63 seats – bringing its total down to 240, far below the 272 required for a parliamentary majority."
