balderdashSorry guys, we had a good run
cosmicrookieNot one of them cares tbh
agamemnonymousI’d guess that having children, in the long run is more environmentally harmful than you eating meat the rest of your life.
This just strikes me as silly. What is the “environment” but children of various species? Obviously an environmentally harmonious life is best, but life isn’t just what the environment is for, it’s what the environment is. This is the same mindset as people who have a couch that no one’s allowed to sit on.
zaphWhen one species growing prevents others from doing the same there is a problem in that ecosystem. For example too many wolves in an area can cause a reduction in prey which is also bad for the wolves. We’re just smart enough to see what we’re doing is harmful to the world around us and we can do things to limit our damage.
And not enough wolves causes an unchecked increase in prey which is bad for the rest of the environment. As I said, harmonious coexistence is best. We have the knowledge and tools to live harmoniously. My problem is with the trend of un-nuanced universal anti-natalism.
And what do we do with the prey when there are too many? Let them keep living or sell more hunting licenses?
We moderate, not eradicate. The middle path, not extremism.
Choosing not to have a child is extremism?
Didn’t say that. Un-nuanced universal anti-natalism is extremism.
No one mentioned that but you. No one here is asking for that or suggesting it.
That is the implication of
not having kids, is the best environmental friendly option of them all.
You read that and you think the writer meant “all humans should stop reproducing?” That’s a you problem.
Framing not having kids as conscientious means only the unconscientious will have kids. That is an everyone problem.
“I’d guess that having children, in the long run is more environmentally harmful than you eating meat the rest of your life.” =/= “people who have kids are bad people”
you’re starting to come across as someone who is only in this discussion because you feel personally attacked and since you haven’t I’m done conversing with you
Don’t know how you jumped to that conclusion, but okay.
