Im 61, i decided another I nor the planet could afford kids 40 years aho and had a vasectomy.
over those 40 years endless articles about people not producing more grist for the mill
A nice goal would be a planet with 100 million at most
Well the last time the global population was around 100 million was over 2000 years ago, so I think that asking for a 99% reduction in human life is screaming eco-fascist
Another person I knew didn't want to have children because of the environmental impact. My theory is if all environmentally conscious people stop having children... Who is left to instill those values in the younger generation.
Your theory hinges on the premise that the only adults children can learn anything from are their biological parents, which is completely false.
No, it hinges on the fact that early life development is pivitol in developing children's morals/values, sense of community etc.
A planet with 100 million at fucking most? Are you stupid or something?
You'll need to outline your objections more clearly.
If you don’t want kids, and you have a vasectomy, that would mean you’re fucking smart.
