A child's life is valuable each moment. There's no guarantee of security and safety for any human anywhere at any time. We can't just be paralyzed by possible negative outcomes, life requires taking risks.
(You might not want kids for some other reason, like free time, don't like kids, etc, but if you would otherwise have kids except for the dangers in the world, I'd say rethink your risk tolerance)
- lenerdenator 3y agoPossible negative outcomes seem to be becoming more and more possible. And no one cares so long as the number at the bottom of the piece of paper hits the target that was made 90 days prior. Altman's not the only example - our reluctance to tackle things like gun violence in the US or climate change are others - but he and his ilk are a prominent example.
- briHass 3y agoAll of the items you mentioned: AI, gun violence, and climate change all share similarities in not presenting easy solutions. Sure, people propose half-baked solutions frequently, but that doesn't mean you can get a diverse set of opinions to agree. I hear lots of handwringing about all of these, but I've yet to hear workable solutions that don't have significant downsides and/or involve the use of force to stop those that disagree.
