Honestly having kids or not doesn’t make a huge difference since most countries are below replacement already anyway. Not like it’s normal to have 3+ kids anymore even if you do have kids.
I actually think it might even be worse to not have kids at this point, someone needs to fix all the issues previous generations have created. I’m pretty sure we need human intervention, some kind of Geo-engineering/Terraforming to avoid a runway hot house earth (something like effective carbon capture)… So I don’t think antinatalism helps…
brother, we have a couple years left.
capitalism was and will be extremely efficient.
it actively even degraded people’s intelligence level to maximize consumerism and most importantly the holiest of all: profit accumulation. education is completely indoctrinating us in every aspect to affirm the system.
change is completely out of reach to have every human being on earth to emancipate, so we’d dissolve all borders and switch from this hellscape of commodity based production to a to a needs based one.
its not going to work within national solutions, all those will have to play the game of the mightiest, we need all people to realize this but media already done its job to scare people out of reach for years. its literally the allegory of the cave, and people choose the chains.
I know we’re fucked. But I refuse to believe that we cannot change. It will still get significantly worse, that I’m fairly sure of. But I also think that at some point for one renewables lobby is bigger than fossil and will actively fight fossilized lobby and that humans will see on a broader scale that we need to change. All of this is already in progress. I doubt doomerism does us any good. I’d agree that global collaboration would help significantly (and to a part this is happening already). Also keep in mind we’re prone to talk about extremes, like capitalism, communism, socialism etc. While a mix of those is more accurate for most states (social market economy). USA is probably much closer to capitalism, but I doubt their system will work much longer it’s too polarized to be “stable” much longer.
So while it will get ugly (and let’s hope that climate scientists weren’t too optimistic) I think we at least may be able too avoid a runway hothouse earth and stabilize the climate to at least human survivability (which is still sad…)
It doesn’t really make a huge difference tbf, also, most of the work is done by a few countries (see India, China and many african countries), countries like South Korea or Italy actually have the opposite problem, there aren’t enough kids
Given that overpopulation likely contributes to climate change, you’re also doing your part for those who do have to live through this hellscape!
