Men should help women never have children.
I love children – I have two toddlers on my own.
But I now realize that I wouldn’t ever want to bring anyone into a world that is hateful, oppressive, brutal, condescending and selfish.
In fact, it’s because I have toddlers that I have this view. My little girl and little boy are so sweet, so kind, so perfect, that I have cried realizing all of that will be ruined – through no fault of their own.
We come into this world and get ground down. We can strive to maintain the goodness that we had when we were toddlers. But it will never be more than a mere mitigation effort.
(So, no, I will never have another child. Any woman I may be with in the future can expect that she will not have a child from me.)
If men can’t control themselves and a pregnancy may accidentally occur, then they should take necessary medical procedures.
I’m moderate on abortion, even. But even if you want to say that there’s a whole lot in life to enjoy, until someone can actualize transhumanism in a large-scale way, there’s a limit to those enjoyable things.
You reach a point that you have gotten a pretty good sense of what the world has to offer.
And I’m only 29. I can only imagine what it is like to be 79.
If I haven’t cried over the thought of my toddlers facing this God-awful world, I’ve thought about it dozens of times, if not countless times, while lying in bed late at night or early in the morning. I’m even sick of thinking about it.
The only resolution is to give them everything I can, of course, but to not make impossible circumstances for anyone else.
