    I’m already ashamed of us. I have a hard time walking the fine line between preparing my children for a difficult future and raising kids who know happiness.

      I just chose to never have kids because there was never any possibility that humanity would overcome our narcissistic greed prior to ecological collapse.

      That was 20 years ago. The last decade has only solidified the certainty of collapse in my mind.

          Humanity is conducting a reckless unplanned terraform of the only place that can sustain us within lightyears, at the very least, and have killed off 70% of the macroscopic biomass in less than a human lifetime, but not to fear… Some nonce cunt on the Internet called you a doomer!

          I’m sure billions of mentally-ill talking chimps doing whatever they believe benefits them personally will all magically sort itself out before we destroy enough of the natural processes we depend on.
