You didn't reply to it initially; I was hoping to see your thoughts on that point.
- guard-of-terra 12y agoNo, I don't subscribe to the values of a "static archaic society". I think those values are self-defeating bullshit. But I think we haven't got a new stable set of values either. We're literally doing the same thing to demographics as we do with oil - eating away future generations' prospects. But the same people who shun oil overusage and pollution praise demographic "overmining" and "waste". However I really believe that I would feel dead when I strike 50 without descendants. And that's a pretty likely outcome.
