All I hear from people is that evolution makes it so that having kids makes your meat computer squirt good chemicals. But idk, given how much hard work and money they cost i feel like I could get the same high from heroin with less effort.
Breeders who get the love chemicals sent to their brain when they are around other people, what’s that like.
Adoption is definitely the moral way to go yeah.
Don’t rip beings out of the infinite void without their consent! The machine elves are better parents than you could ever be
there are no machine elves. And nothing exists prior to it’s creation and things that don’t exist can’t have opinions
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away.
You are going to die, and everything you do, good or bad, will mean absolutely 100% nothing, given a relatively-not-that-long timespan.
Unless your genetic line continues.
Has it really never occurred to why the rich’s #1 concern is setting up their genetic progeny?
Not breeding is suicide, in a mid-macro sense. If the pain you feel is so great that you, as a genetic system, want to commit suicide, maybe you know what’s best. Or maybe you’re just fucking depressed and you need a few years to gain some perspective.
Sorry I’m so aggro, nothing really to do with you, mainly aimed at myself, I’ve felt the same things before.
Your parents fucked you over? I’m sorry friend, but you literally are your parents. You gotta forgive yourself and try and make sure you bend out of the abusive cycles, so you don’t do it to yourself again. That answer is much harder than genetic suicide, I know.
Ironically a pretty common take amongst the chuds I know. Not tryin to dunk at all on op who is entitled to feel how he wants about it. But like I’ve heard this take pretty much word for word from my landlord ex boss amongst other chuds if I say I don’t plan on having kids.
Not breeding is suicide, in a mid-macro sense.
I dunno man, I would choose not to commit suicide in a mid-macro sense but the amount of effort it would take to raise a kid seems like too much. When I’m dead it isn’t exactly going to be my problem if people care that I’m gone or not, is it?
Dying of old age is a long, slow, unimaginably painful and undignified affair. Children, properly cared for and raised, make it slightly less so as they can see you through this stage of life with a level of empathy only love could inspire.
You’re not gonna beat my argument on rational selfish grounds, unless you actually like dying utterly alone, unloved and without any dignity.
What if someone reaches the point where their quality of life is unimaginably painful and undignified, and they simply choose to end it themselves? The scenario you describe could easily be reframed as, “having kids will make your life drag out for a very long time even if it becomes not worth living anymore.”
I’m not saying you should abandon all human connection, I’m just saying that from my point of view the amount of effort raising kids requires doesn’t seem worth it.
new type of male just dropped, the one who is both his mom and his dad lmfao
if you masturbate, does that mean you are jerking off both your parents simultaneously? :thinking-about-it:
i found the monarcho socialist
also lmao, in the macro sense it doesnt matter? i still contribute to helping my nieces and nephews. your family isnt very genetically different from you.
Kids are cute and funny and they’re your best shot at not getting lonely in old age.
Also, that old age is going to be more survivable if I have a clan of Marxists around me to defend me against roving gangs of fascists trying to steal my gruel and water rations.
Because if I had a kid I would be able to teach them to ignore obvious trolling.
But on the other hand, pets do not possess a capacity for betrayal, which naturally makes them better than children for various schemes & machinations.
