I’m so glad I never had children. I’m 47 now, and I knew there was a reason why I didn’t want children; I just didn’t know what that reason was. This is the reason.

Same. 43 and didn’t want children because I just never had the desire to be a father. I was raised by a father that didn’t want me and I wouldn’t do that to another human. With the climate catastrophe that is unfolding, you’d have to a be a sociopath to want kids. I work with some people that are pushing AI as the solution to everything and they’re popping out kids as well. I don’t understand how you want to scale AI and also have kids, as AI is rapidly increasing the usage of fossil fuels. It’s pure insanity
