  1.  @woodmanvictory  and the poverty in the USA during last two decades has risen, poor became poorer, even though GDP was growing. Growth without fighting inequality will always make rich richer and poor poorer

  2. We shouldn't view future generations as being obliged to fix the mess we are creating for them. That is simply sadistic to bring someone into the world so that they be forced to fix problems we create for their whole lives
    56
  3. Considering how much child abuse there is in the world, humanity doesn't really deserve any children until we fix this problem
    54
  4. Noone "should" have children. If a person doesn't want to have children for any reason, that is enough to not have any children
    27
  5. Basically belief that our kids that didn't create this mess, have the responsibility to fix it, and not we ourselves. That is the most selfish idea!

  6. Nothing compares in inefficient bs metric with Russian bureaucratic system. You would know if you lived here... It seems those bureaucrats would continue to exchange papers even if the subjects of their regulation disappeared

  7. Yeah, chiropractics is a dangerous pseudoscience

  8. Life worth starting and life worth continuing are different things
    12
  9.  @MrBazBake  Almost as if life worth starting and life worth continuing are two very different things
    12
  10. Every decision to reproduce is a gamble on another person's well-being. It is always ethically questionable

  11. Actually all of them are in denial. All humans are annoying, but noone wants to admit they are a part of annoying group, so everyone just claims the "other" group is annoying: old people say this about young people and vice versa, men about women and vice versa etc.

  12.  @ramanasai6150  that is not what socialism is. Socialism is a form of economic policy. What you described is totalitarism, but both economic systems, capitalist and socialist can exist with any degree of democracy or totalitarism. Basically, a capitalist totalitarian country would be as often cracking on people's freedoms as a socialist totalitarian one, and there are plenty of historical examples

  13. Economy can be changed. Economic system which relies on endless growth of both consumption and population is going to destroy us all in the long run!

  14.  @jericho_shepherd  All humans are 99.9% genetically similar Adopted kids will be almost as much genetically similar to you as biological ones

  15. How good that I found an "illegal" free version of the show somewhere in the depth of the internets, and didn't pay Amazon a cent)

  16. Lucky that your kids didn't get severe mental illness or terminal illness. People never think of those risks before they have kids. But they should. It will help them prepare for such risks at least

  17. You got it!

  18. @floaty cloud stop looking at the mirror and talking to yourself

  19. You don't take into account that the risk of your children falling into severe depression is always non-zero. And then they will suffer a lot. You don't have to have a depression yourself to understand that even 1% of such risk shouldn't be worth taking on behalf of another human being, who hasn't asked for it! And judging by actual data, many more than 1% people have serious mental illness chronic illness or disability! It is also pretty awful to think that just because you can still think of life as a gift in a hard situation, then anyone, including your kids, will feel or should feel the same. Not everyone has mental strength or proper neurotransmitter balance to deal with such situation without suffering too much. All your idea that the risk is worth taking is based on the false assumption that your kids will necessarily feel the similar way

  20. Those who are influencers 100% have their own income maybe even bigger than their husband's! And they are convincing us to go and be financially dependent on a man 😂😂😂 they think we are stupid enough to believe them

  21. If only. Those guys would do bad bad things to scammers on top of MLM companies. And I am all for it

  22. Why aren't all worker ants female in both films? That is the question which was puzzling me

  23. There is difference between life worth starting and life worth continuing. Also, when you decide whether to die or not, you are making a decision for yourself. When you decide to reproduce - for others, future children. They can't decide anything in that situation Nihilism sees no values. Anti-natalism sees value in reducing risk of suffering. If cannot see the difference, you know nothing of what both mean. Don't believe that on most people desire to die comes from hopelessness. It comes from mental illness in most cases. By promoting idea that people should just change their ideas, and their despair will go away, you misundertand how it works for most people

  24.  @elletangere8964  I don't buy anything from Amazon or other internet services like that. The only things I buy through the internet are e-books and audiobooks on specialised web-sites. Anything else - I am ok with whatever I can find in the stores in my city, as any person living in a big city should be

  25. Stay strong. I wish society helped people like you more. But we live in terrible times

  26. Wishful thinking never dies
    2
  27. Forcing someone into existence they didn't choose so that they help someone else is terrible idea. How about going and just helping already existing people yourself? Responsibility should come after choice. You have no right to assign responsibility of helping others to your kids, they didn't choose it themselves

  28. Whole biosphere is more important than one species. Also, yeah, actually species can be saved if reproduction is temporarily restricted in some cases. Like when too big of a population causes problems. So technically it is not a contradiction all the times

  29. That is a wrong idea that the reality outside Eastern Europe is less harsh lol

  30. Yeah, if smallpox vaccine wasn't effective, why did the small pox disappear? Antivaxxers however, will believe any drivel to make excuses. My boss recently have met a taxi driver, who believed that most epidemics in history were "artificial". Like how were medieval people able to create viruses artificially?? Who knows, he still believes that!

  31. New generations of people shouldn't be used to supply us with hope. We create the mess then make kids to provide ourselves with "hope" and make them responsible for fixing our mess? Sounds selfish to me

  32. Civilization is a complex system, which doesn't function only on natural laws, as by definition it is different from "nature", so it needs constant maintenance. After some time of failure to do that maintenance, it can easily break down, bit by bit, that is why things can easily go worse. Second law of thermodynamics. After some time, entropy always wins

  33. ~ 2 million years ago actually 😂 I personally think the world would be better off going back to how things were before humans appeared and started to screw all other life forms. That is because maybe that wouldn't be good for us, but I don't think we matter more than all other life forms. Humans are just arrogant and narcisisstic

  34.  @southcoastinventors6583  space colonisation on a large scale is not practical, and won't be, no matter what technology they develop. Especially if the biosphere on Earth is destabilised enough and can't sustain civilisation here anymore, it will stop the opportunity for new technology development or any resources being used to go to space. So... Priorities duh

  35. No, they criticise the ideology of white supremacy, and how much damage it has done and doing to society. If you interpret it as the same as criticizing all "white people", then it says something about you

  36. Chiropractics is a dangerous pseudoscience! Why are you watching that?

  37. ​ @amazin7006  with a small baby it is actually 24/7 work, idiot, not 3 hours!

  38. If the humanity was totally gone, that would save the Earth. Because the civilisation is an ultimate danger factor which can slide back into destruction at any point of time. So only without it can biosphere normally live

  39.  @lostsauce0  "civilisations" are probably a very specific and rare thing, not something universal. Like anthills for ants, civilisations - for humans. So other species who are so similar to us that they do the same things are probably insanely rare and won't ever contact us. Humans tend to overestimate importance of "civilisations" and underestimate everything else because we are arrogant and think that traits which on this planet are unique to humans make us better and more important than all other life forms

  40. I just "love" how those 2 crypto hacks use their race to excuse their actions! As if them selling crypto stuff actually is going to elevate millions of people in the developing world out of poverty? No, it won't, it will just make those 2 hacks rich

  41.  @SleepyMatt-zzz  if only most pro-natalist people realised they are even more selfish

  42. No, you are incorrect. Anti-natalism is a serious philosophy, and you should try harder to address its arguments instead of engaging in ad-hominem attacks like "you're just all angsty teens". Also, realise already, that depression in teens is a real mental illness and they need professional help, not being mocked as "angsty"

  43. Judging by all of history, humanity can't be ethical either. Even if we change all the stuff usually concerning us for the better... Can it be ethical for one species to appropriate 1/4 to 1/3 of primary production of the biosphere, thus leaving much less to millions of other species?

  44.  @chop4045  as Russian I say thank you for explaining to that fool that Russia isn't communist anymore, cause it sometimes seems that some people in the West have been under a rock for longer than I have been alive, cause for sure, I have lived here all my life and saw precisely 0% communism anywhere. And yeah Putin's regime is fasc and also oligarchical in nature. Funnily enough, a lot of capitalist societies are not devolving into oligarchies. That is what happens if super rich are allowed to put their money into politics. Happens in the USA as well, and proponents of US-like unregulated capitalism still don't notice

  45. The greedy billionaires will take it all. They already own as much as half of human population and they want more

  46. Humanity has been destroying biodiversity since the ice age, even long before agriculture, and long long long before industry and capitalism. Interesting question: who hunted moa to extinction? Hint: not Europeans

  47.  @dontmisunderstand6041  there is no such thing as superiority. Humans also are not superior to other animal species, which just have different set of abilities form them. Different is not superior or inferior. How can someone who thinks the superiority is real, even talk about morality. I wouldn't trust you to make judgement on morality at all

  48.  @Jahu-qs2us  he is a con artist. Lives on hype. Promises totally unrealistic, but hypey wipey things like hyperloop or "cities on Mars by 2060"

  49. You got it! Finally people, at least some, start seeing Musk for what he is. And stop believing his bs promises. Remember he promised huge cities on Mars by 2060? That was and is totally unrealistic, if you look at actual technology and how it works and is developed. But back then 99.9% of people bought it 🤦🤦🤦

  50.  @Raziel312  the ideology of endless expansion which comes from colonisation (even of barren places) makes sure that people don't want to move on to more sustainable living practices. Because why preserve anything when you can endlessly expand your "life space" and amount of resources available. Thankfully in real world colonisation of other planets is many times harder than Musk and co imagine it, and that means that humanity will be forced to transition to more sustainable living instead of endlessly expanding
