I think having kids is an entirely selfish act and anyone who has them knowing they will likely be dead in 30 years because of our decisions is a terrible person
Some of us had them before we knew the extent of the damage. I’ve apologized repeatedly to my kids, and they are well aware of their future.
Oh I wasn’t putting blame on you, you mentioned you wouldn’t do it with what you now know
I am to blame though. I should have been aware.
This sounds terrible!
It is. But better than denying reality.
Well, it doesn't look good, I absolutely agree. But still, you're no fortune teller and world history is full of plot twists. Christianity went from a strange little hippie-cult to a world religion in no time, and noone saw that coming. Germany reuniting? Not in a 1000 years, said everyone a year before it actually happened. I'm too lazy to find more examples, because this is not my native language. You get my point: We don't know! Let veganism conquer the world, maybe! Telling your children we're doomed feels so desperate and grim. But there is always hope. I'm not doomed at this very moment, so let's do something! Grow a tomato, hug your child, take a walk, punch a fascist, blow up a pipeline. :)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
always hope
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
The Club of Rome predicted the future back in 1972. We are currently in the “business as usual” track. Although we have made modest improvements to carbon emissions, that will not stop collapse. You cannot have infinite growth on a finite planet:
And the reason you don’t know about any of this, Why Media Ignores the Coming Disaster
I know all of this! I just refuse to lay down and give up like a rabbit in the headlights. We're not hungry, not cold, not in survival-mode, yet. We're still the lucky ones, so let's live up to that. You can cry when our time has actually come.
I’m not crying. I came to terms with collapse 5 years ago. I love my children, we have fun and discuss the world’s situations. But I don’t give them false hope. I’m preparing them to live in a sustainable community. “Doomer” is a made up word that only serves apathy. Fight for change to mitigate the damage.
I wish you and your children the best and hope you're wrong, that our path is not that determined yet.
Don't worry, we're banning abortion so you don't have to be selfish to have kids.
