    Important reminder: No one “owes” anyone children. Not your parents, not your grandparents, not your deacon, not your cult leader, and sure as shit not your country.

      What if civilization’s deciding to be child-free ended up being the Great Filter.

      This is the fucking truth. It is also a very easy solution, most people want children, it is baked into our genes. It is just when the countries of the world have made the rules like they are now. That encourages ans premieres the hoarding of wealth into the hands of very VERY few. At the expence of exploiting everyone else and the planet. It makes human civilization a dystopia not worth saving, and not wanting to put children thru this meat grinder, in order to enrich some asshole, is very normal and compassionate.

      Make rules that are fair, and protects the planet. at the expence of some billionares having to be millioneres. And I bet most people would love to have children.
