    Having a big surplus of young people to care for the elderly is just another luxury of the old world that we will have to give up. I certainly don’t want anyone having kids just so they can wipe my ass later on. I guess what I mean to say is that I don’t feel entitled to it and I don’t think anyone else should either.

      that’s a very bleak view you hold

      people are entitled to a long safe and happy life, I’ve no doubt there’s a time coming where that gets less and and less possible for more and more people, but that’s a thing I believe with my heart and giving up on it is not an option

        I feel giving up on it should be considered if you care about the future generations that are going to be brought into this burning house we call an ecosystem.

        I mean fighting for a better world is great and all, but that doesn’t necessitate dragging another soul into existence to experience a declining, dying world.

          Call me an edgelord and a doomer all you want. We all know we’re not going to adequately deal with this as a species. Not anytime soon.
