Prostitution and adjacent jobs/activities (sugar daddying, OF, etc.) are wrong and corrupt society. Sure, many agree with this, but very many would disagree these days.
Why? It commodifies male-female relationships, makes men worse off (as they pay for rather than earn access to women turns them weaker, while actually quality men have to compete with money rather than other men), keeps women below men in society (they are dependent on demand from men, won't develop skills or contribute to society apart from selling their body, etc.).
If a lot of men can't get laid, the solution shouldn't be prostitution and OF; it should be teaching men to be better.
i think the unpopular opinion is the other way round of your thoughts actually
Most people believe overpopulation is a legitimate concern. Too many people are / will be on the planet, the story goes. In actuality, every society's fertility rates plummet as women become more educated and become a greater percentage of the workforce. The world's problem will soon be low fertility rates & inverted population pyramids (too many old people / pensioners, not enough young people / workers. See Japan for an early look), not overpopulation.
This problem is growing more commonly discussed, though, especially in the last 2-3 years. So maybe not quite as contrarian as Thiel would look for as an interviewer
It's an interesting question for sure. I often feel like the contrarian saying under-population isn't a problem.
Why do we need more people? The argument I usually hear is the demographic one . . basically we need to keep replenishing the well of young workers to pay into the social system (whether that's pensions, social security, etc) to support the older people. That doesn't make sense to me because it assumes that more young people equals more employed young people. Its just as possible that more young people would mean more un-employed young people and make the problem worse.
I'm not that confident in my views on this, and am open to being educated on it. But so far the pro-population arguments have been unconvincing.
