I respect your right to make this decision for yourself, of course, but don't you think this is a little ironic?
Climate change itself is less of a threat to the future than the self-selection toward extinction of the culture of people who care about fixing climate change.
- selykg 5y agoI think it's a larger thing in general. I tried to keep it non-political. But I probably could've hit two birds with one stone by saying "environment." Both our political environment and our physical environment. This is perhaps a bit more US centric as well. But with this country as divided as it is, with an emphasis on climate change because that's the original topic of discussion, I don't think I really want to bring children into this world where people just generally can't get along, and have no real desire to care about their future as well. > self-selection toward extinction of the culture of people who care about fixing climate change. Maybe it's a defeatist attitude, but I feel like the people that care about climate change have lost this war already.
