    Hey, don’t attack what people want. This is a biological urge and hard to decide against. If you don’t want children, that is cool for you. If others do, that is also fine for them.

    The world is messed up and getting worse, obviously, but may won’t share our cynicism and I probably don’t want to drag people down with me. It’s hard to build enthusiasm after.

      If what people want is dumb, I’m going to call it dumb. The planet is alternately on fire or under water. It’s time to make many drastic changes, but billionaires are still flying rockets, flying private jets across the world for shopping or soccer, and everyone else is driving SUVs and turning up the A/C until they have to put a sweater on. :)

      If you’re not depressed by the current situation (nevermind the prospects for the future), you’re not paying attention.

        I am bothered about those things, but choose not to let fear and anger run my life. Those emotions without action are pointless. Just suffering with no gain, and what’s the point in dwelling in negative emotion?

        The world is not a good place, are you helping make it a better place calling people dumb?
