@applejack @GiovanniHarmonia @TiredCarrot @chronically @JoshuaACasey because a child is a heavy responsibility many are knowingly inready for and, nit only that, there's the risk of STDs

STDs are a problem because it's made into meaningless dopamine hit

@Spaghettimon @TiredCarrot@freak.university @GiovanniHarmonia@pawoo.net @JoshuaACasey@qoto.org @chronically@pawoo.net It's literally just the same thing but worse and meaningless. Your brain didn't evolve for constant empty hits, it just degrades and gets boring.

People today have 200x the stuff people did in the past but are less happy because they're just running faster in place on a treadmill

@applejack @TiredCarrot @GiovanniHarmonia @JoshuaACasey @chronically I'm not talking about doing everything, just a decent amount of the stuff you wanna do. When we were tribes, due to the limitations of life, this was easy. Today it is not.

Also, the objective of life was never to make children, making children is just an effect of the inherent egoism of life, since the bacterial days
