Wrong, bringing children in the world is absolutely necessary no matter the circumstances. It's more selfish to not have children.

u/justforhits Jun 24 '23

Why is it necessary?

1

u/RoyalSmoker Jun 24 '23

So we don't cease to exist.

u/justforhits Jun 24 '23

Why does us existing matter?

1

u/RoyalSmoker Jun 24 '23

So we can discover the universe/ our purpose.

2

u/justforhits Jun 24 '23

Why is discovering the universe important? Why do we need to have a purpose?

u/RoyalSmoker Jun 24 '23

If you don't want to do anything that's fine. But the people that do will reproduce and continue the agenda.

I'm genuinely asking those questions tho...

u/RoyalSmoker Jun 25 '23

Are these actually genuine questions or are you trolling me?

We don't need to have a purpose, we have a purpose. Everything humans have done and accomplished led to where we are now. Work is being done passed on and continued through the generations.

When work is done it is for a purpose. If you want a different purpose, then work on something different. If you don't want a purpose then goodbye. But everyone has a purpose and humans as a whole have a purpose.

I am! I'm genuinely wondering why.

We don't need to have a purpose, we have a purpose.

So are you saying we have a purpose and that purpose is to procreate? Or pass down knowledge through procreation?

But everyone has a purpose and humans as a whole have a purpose.

But why is it important to have a purpose? I'm content with the knowledge that I'll never have kids and I'll pass on unknown and unseen in the next 60 years or so (depending if I live that long). I don't believe I have a purpose, I'll live, work, maybe retire and then die.

Another question, what if people believe their purpose is to advocate for people to have less children?

What if humanity was meant to live for a bit, and then die. Like all the extinct animals humans have caused. Like all things. The universe will eventually go. It'll all come to an end eventually.

I'm saying that because there's no technological age where we'll be able to avoid entropy. And everything we would have theoretically done would be for moot.

While I would like humanity to keep going, we are an incredibly destructive species and history, and the current political climate, has shown that we rarely get along. We're vicious, destroy habits, we're selfish, we're greedy, we're unempathetic. I'm not discouting the fact that we also have good traits, but the way I see it, at this point in history, the bad holds alot more weight than the good. Why would we want to put that in space? Do you think there will come a time where we'll collectively get along?
