I don't like this, but not surprised. We keep smoking (polluting) and we keep cutting away our lungs (removing nature).

Yeah. If you have kids after today, you’re a selfish cunt.

Right we should just give up as a species and only let the billionaires breed, thats a great solution

Your words.

"I'm willing to create a life and send it off into a world that will with 100% certainty be harder and more marked with privation and disaster than my own just to feel like I cheated death." doesn't sound like too great a solution, either.

How about taking care of the millions of children that are already alive that no one wants?

Damn you antinatalists are sad people.

No we aren’t. What’s sad is knowing that the Earth is going to die in 50 years but still choosing to selfishly have children who will suffer in their old age. There’s not a thing you can say to me they will make me feel bad. Keep on trying though, it’s important to get your daily dose of dopamine
