Yeah. If someone doesn't have kids, they're basically dying alone in terrible conditions or even homeless when they get dementia.
If someone is an only child and doesn't have kids, their genes and their family dies with them.
In all honesty, to me, someone who doesn't want kids is inherently signaling that they're a loser in the game of life. All of the dumb people will have a million kids and displace them if they do that, Idiocracy-style.

If the prize of winning the game of life is that your death will be less horrible, well... what fucking awful prizes this game has.

I just want to see humanity improve and produce great outcomes. Sure it is an OK method to try to have offspring with my own values, but it's not the only way I can contribute.
- Viliam1234 6y ago> I just want to see humanity improve and produce great outcomes. That kinda requires that the most intelligent people do not remove themselves from the genetic pool en masse. (So far, people who are highly intelligent and also highly religious seem to prevent that outcome.)
