    Modern society isn’t compatible with humanness.

    Every corpo is out to get more money, time and data out of you, so that they can have more power, while our quality of life is exponentially getting eroded, and the planet is burning.

    Add kids to the mix, and you run on fumes 24/7.

    I know nothing will be done but it’s at least nice to hear someone official say it

      That’s how it always goes…

      “Hey, this is officially an issue.” … “Ok, now what?” … “That’s all. It’s just an issue.”

    I’d love to say I solved that for myself by not having kids, but I just found other sources of stress.

    I love every thread like this where these knights come in all “well that is why you don’t have kids!” The real boring dystopia will be when all these people are old and in medical need and have no young trained people to wipe their asses 🤣

        So your solution is to just let humanity die out? If nobody procreates that is the result.

          Yes. We’ve had our chance. We sucked the entire time.

          150,000+ years of suck.

            Grim. I refuse to just lay down and die. I’m sure the day will come soon when we have a sharp decrease in global population and it will be thousands of years before things get good again. But what’s the point in giving up?

              For me personally it’s because looking at human history we haven’t really changed when it comes to humanity itself. All we’ve done is increase our ability to procreate and harvest resources.

              We’re still the same selfish violent monkeys we were 150,000+ years ago. Now we just have shiny toys to kill things with instead of rocks.

                There are those that desire change though. We can’t succumb to a letting a few bad apples spoiling the batch.

                  It’s more than a few is the problem. In fact it’s heavily skewed in the favor of bad apples. There are more half rotted apples than there are pure clean apples.

                  It’s in our instincts to be selfish outside of small populations.
