Having a big surplus of young people to care for the elderly is just another luxury of the old world that we will have to give up. I certainly don’t want anyone having kids just so they can wipe my ass later on. I guess what I mean to say is that I don’t feel entitled to it and I don’t think anyone else should either.
that’s a very bleak view you hold
people are entitled to a long safe and happy life, I’ve no doubt there’s a time coming where that gets less and and less possible for more and more people, but that’s a thing I believe with my heart and giving up on it is not an option
I feel giving up on it should be considered if you care about the future generations that are going to be brought into this burning house we call an ecosystem.
I mean fighting for a better world is great and all, but that doesn’t necessitate dragging another soul into existence to experience a declining, dying world.
I agree that old people should be cared for lol.
I just don’t think it’s a valid reason to keep a high birthrate. If we can’t figure out how to care for old people more efficiently with a smaller population of young people, then we kind of deserve to get steamrolled by ecological collapse.
