When you look at what humanity has done to the planet, especially in the last century, an extremely selfish humanity — deserving of the suffering they cause themselves in their confusion — was always self-evident.
We’re quite literally killing the planet to the extent that it will likely become unviable for human civilization within a century or so, most living species will be exterminated, and billions of people will starve to death … and every day most of us choose not stop the destruction because it individually grants us a constant stream of dopamine hits from consumption and consumerism; the consequences are out of sight, and out of mind.
We’re extremely ignorant, arrogant, dopamine-drug-addicted, talking chimps on a one way trip to oblivion. If it makes you feel any better, we never really stood a chance.
I think that’s why we’re leaning against having kids. Because at every turn I tried to make this world something better for the next generation, and I just don’t see it anymore. So why not just ride it out. Maybe adoption, but I just don’t see how we’re moving at all in a positive direction.

Yup. I already had a vasectomy years ago, in my late 20’s. I wish I did it at 18.
At no point was I on-board with accelerating the collapse or forcing my own flesh and blood to experience it.
