I, for one, would never bring another life into this world and while so much suffering occurs. It's ethical to adopt contrary to conceive children.
- wwww4alll 6y agoI am certain your parents had same ideas. Until they decided to have babies. Having kids is powerful natural drive after finding suitable enough mates. Statistically, you will have children in future, if you’re under 30 right now.

- wwww4alll 6y agoAttractive men and women will find each other and make babies, as they have done for thousands of years. Instagram, Raya, Tinder make it much easier for attractive people to find each other efficiently.

- DoingIsLearning 6y agoCan I just say we should really stop using these 'turf' labels, the flat-earthers, the anti-vaxxers, now this 'antinatilist' label. It makes it seem like a binomial thing, you are either in my group or in the other. Discussion stops being about the ideas and more adversarial, focused on taking sides. Also it creates a group identity which in my opinion makes it harder for people to change their minds based on discussion or new info. If my aunt tells me vaccines are bad I might trust her. But if there is whole group of 'anti-vaxxer' people who make me feel good about myself then I suppose I am now an anti-vaxxer and that becomes an identity more so than an opinion which would be more fluid and mutable.
