Yes but we used to have smart people reproducing to balance things out. Now smart people are taking extra measures to avoid parenthood and ignorance is being celebrated.
The time for smart people to lead has long gone, my friend. I understand your concerns, but you do really need to be more realistic about your observations. Smart people don’t want their future children to grow up in a hellscape, to be abused by those who have the power to make everything good in the world but refuse to do so, and to suffer droughts, pollution, discrimination, and all the other problems that are going on.
Smart people see the world as it is right now, can imagine what it will be like in the future, and decided that keeping the human race going is actually kind of a bad idea.
Do I want kids? Yeah, I think I’d be a decent parent. Do I want my children to grow up in a bleak as fuck future? Hell no. 90% of my time here so far has been nothing but bad. Terrible even. Why the fuck would I willingly choose to keep that torture going?
No thanks. I’ll leave it to the dumb people to procreate and further exasperate the issues on hand, so that my conscience isn’t full of regrets of making another human being have to go through this painful existence.
