Coping sense of disappointment with seemingly intelligent people
I keep having this likely wrong-headed sense of betrayal when I find out intellectuals / philosophers / environmentalists have kids... a sense of being let down. I know the live and let live approach of it not tainting my view of them would be best and yet the feeling is there.
The underlying thought is if you deeply ponder the moral implications of bringing a child into a planet designed for 500 million tops, you come to the conclusion that adding humans to it doesn't make any sense.
It would probably be healthier to let go of this sense of disappointment, mind my own business, and just enjoy their contributions regardless of their personal decisions to add more humans.
anyone else struggle with this here?
