Exactly. If you have a heart, you don’t generate an innocent being to suffer and to unavoidably increase the suffering.

Yup. I'm a 1994 kid and both my parents have apologized for bringing me into the world. Back then things weren't so bleak though and they were rich at the time too so I can't fault them.

So proud that my parents are intelligent and are discouraging me and my siblings from having children. The family name dies with us.

Funny to hear that, because like exactly the same here.

That's humanities disease though. Survive at all costs. Getting metro 2033 vibes right now.

We are parasites since we discovered agriculture

Mother earth is correcting it now though, as she always has

If the world is almost surely over, then you won't have a heart. These are the concerns of someone who thinks that life will go on for a long time.

[-] mr_stevenson_ii@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I’m not surprised that you feel defensive.

[-] EhForumUser@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm not surprised either. I doubt anyone here failed to feel the concern that we have a long life ahead, allowing hearts to remain and children to suffer.

But is it realistic? On what basis do you think we have such longevity ahead of us? Perhaps the claim that the world is about to end is the more viable conclusion?
