While the global population is still growing, a major study from 2020 predicts it will peak in 2064 and then fall by nearly a billion people by the end of the century.
I'm glad you like it. I should really try to get back into writing now that my mental health has been getting better. It sounds self-important, but one of my favorite ways of helping people is to share what I've learned from my studies of philosophy, spirituality, and life itself, in order to make living just a bit easier/more palatable. While Schopenhauer was a notoriously pessimistic philosopher, I really liked his exploration of the "sublime," especially in our hyper-alienated world where everything is turned into consumerism and transactions. I think it taps into a deep human need, one that is sorely undernourished in contemporary society. It can be found, though, even in a purely materialist narrative of the universe. I'll try to journal on this more and see if I can put it into prose to share with this site.
I still owe a bunch of people some other project unironically about beans, though, so you know, fair chance I'll fail to get to it lol.
As someone who believes in dialectical materialism, I believe that that future societies will progress to socialism and eventually communism. Personally, I want to give my descendants a fighting chance to experience living in those times.
Antinatalism is a fuck. I may have a really hard time with it all too often but I enjoy being alive and experiencing sensation a lot more than the void. Watch me upload when we liberate cyborgs from the capitalists so my pattern of consciousness continues.
If the first sentence justifying why you want children starts with “I want”, you shouldn’t consciously choose to have kids.
Ah yes. Going to police people for having kids because they checks notes don't prose good.
Fuck off with this authoritarian neoliberal virtue-signaling bullshit. People want things. They want families. They want relationships. They want homes. They want cleanliness and comfort. They want free time. It isn't sinful to have desires. And it's absolutely horrible to shame people for wanting to be happy.

Edit: I would abort myself if I could go back. But I might as well shake shit up while I'm here.

I wouldn't undo my life either.
