It's almost like we've all been convinced to join some weird, global suicide cult. Except instead of killing ourselves we're throwing our genetic information away.
Almost everyone I know who is really well-off/rich is having several kids. Heck, Elon Musk, who is basically spending his life trying to solve these environmental problems as his multiple businesses, has six!
Why are their social norms and thoughts on this so different from the rest of us?
- aahhahahaaa 6y agoIt's not rocket science, it's because they don't have to raise the kids - I'd be surprised if elon saw his kids for more than a third as much as the middle class sees theirs. Hell he wasn't even at the birth of his latest.
- busterarm 6y agoRight, but the difference is that we don't admit that we're not willing to or can't take on the burden of raising children. Instead it's "oh, I'm doing what's right for the environment." One of these two behaviors is intellectually dishonest. Which one do you think it is? Aside: Most of the parents that I know are extremely involved in their kids lives, even if they pay for help.
- Guy2020 6y agoMost of us are not willing participants in this "cult." We're dragged along by the nose.
