Yes, "Black and white thinking will doom us all. In order for humanity to evolve further, for the world to become kinder and safer, we must agree, collectively, to see people as individuals."

Thanks for your support EyesOpen - it can be such a hard conversation to have with people, especially online where we are all herded one way or the other

We need fuck tons more tribalism and your refusal to have kids shows part of it. Gimme more gator brain and Neanderthals. It’s called overly civilized stupid shit.

I knew this post would be controversial, but you need better reading comprehension Caleb. I refuse to have kids in the UK, because I know I could give them a better life in the US. For me, that future is mere months away, so I feel very comfortable with my choice.

Run the above through chatGPT if you are struggling.

Have kids period. This idiocy of needing a different setting has got to stop. Get some stones.

If you could give your children an average life, or a great life, and you choose average because average is comforting and convenient for you right now, then your priority is not in the quality of your children's lives at all, but in your own.

Also I don't take kindly to strangers telling me what to do with my sperm unless they pay me upfront.

A+ reply. I snort-laughed at that last sentence.

Thanks mate, I'm a comedian on the side so always ready to give these debates a happy ending.

Paying for sperm is awesome. But then I charge people money in a hypothetical sense for receiving from society and the entirety of western civilization and wanting to contribute nothing back to the pot or simply stating that certain views are just fine and ok when obviously the logical end of them have consequences that you’re too immature to acknowledge.

No, this is still stupid. I see from your one comment that you’re a comedian, but you’re not a philosopher. There’s the self and the greater society. Self serving is obviously good when it comes to having a child to extend legacy. Legacy is a good selfishness. But then where do you derive your values? Are you conflated and nothing but a contradiction? The irony is how selfish your approach is in saying basically that your entire life will be about yourself in a way. Are you seeking a monastic life? Are you an uncle and supporting all of your community in that kind of a way, or are you more of a parasitic fuck. At least rich parasites control and govern, but are you even doing that or baselessly sucking and leaching off of everyone?
