Join Malcolm and Simone Collins as they dive into the provocative concept of "Cultural Carrying Capacity"—the idea that a region's ability to sustain a population is determined not just by its environment, but by the culture of the people living there.

The conversation covers controversial topics like demographic collapse, cultural differences, ethnic cartels, and the future of human communities on Earth and beyond.
