Honestly, having children is one of the most selfish things you can do. It's done purely to satisfy their own selfish desires. You bring someone into the world who had no need to come into existence so you can have something to nurture, to feel needed, have company, someone waiting for you, to experience life vicariously through. Something that's going to consume immense resources, contribute to depleting resources and pollution, overpopulation (the world likely doesn't need your genes), and then many of them have the gall to believe they're entitled to forcing others to subsidize them, enacting "think of the children" policies limiting the freedom of others to give themselves a perceived sense of security. "I'm not selfish for wanting to force others to pay for my choice to have children and abide by policies centered around their benefit, you're selfish for not wanting to go along with my plan." The entitlement and victimhood generation, convince a generation they're actually owed things and watch them ravenously demand, and attack those who interfere.
And the process is incredibly egocentric. Other than satisfying the selfish desires I listed above, they feel they have to be children with their specific genes, when there are so many unwanted and needy children already? It's standard animalistic instinct; and of course if you try to have a rational discussion most will be incapable of it or they'll attempt to cast you as some sort of monster for not going along with their emotion driven poorly thought out romanticized notions of love, marriage, followed by a house and children. Just go with the feelings, don't think things out, as if we don't constantly hold back and go against our natural instincts, which would have destructive effects (overeating, violence, sex, laziness etc?). But in this case there's a strong evolutionary basis for why it's so universally sanctified among human cultures, free from criticism, romanticized. So no one is allowed to say anything, there's no room for impartial rational discussion, warranted criticism; if you do say anything, watch out, see what kind of reaction you get. There are so many children with developmental disabilities, disorders, who will go through a lifetime of suffering, be a net loss on the advancement of humanity, regardless of what their parents would like to believe; there's such a high chance that even if they do do everything right their children won't turn out the way they want them to be, it won't be anywhere near the idealized image they imagined. Jonathan Haidt had a talk about science denial along the basis of political ideology, and how leftists deny science as well due to having sanctified core bases of their ideology, equality being the key factor here, so the idea that innate differences, genetics, can play a significant role is made into taboo, treated gingerly at most, only allowed to be discussed to a very shallow extent, with enormous myths and misconceptions created. The concept of the "environmental" factor is widely misunderstood, it's the non-shared component that accounts almost entirely for this, and we don't have a clear idea of what this entails. That and much of what was previously categorized as being environmental as opposed to hereditary is often later shown to have simply been missed hereditary factors. Of course the social sciences are a complete mess, there's so much bias, publication and institutional bias, and it leads to graduates with some of the most blatantly unwarranted senses of their own intelligence and knowledge. Enlightened by 21/22 syndrome, once they reach the top of their parochial environment, bam, they have the world figured out, put them in charge, their friends, someone they like, whose views they identify with/share, and they could fix everything.
Back to the egocentricity of the process, think of how others react. The pregnancy announcement, the announcement, the constant reactions and attention, the fixation, throughout, the baby shower, then the birth, childhood. Just look at people's fucking facebook's, completely revolved around their kids as if there aren't literally millions in their age range, this hasn't occurred countless times throughout history. Oh yeah, you've totally retained your identity, they don't identify. Stay at home moms, their social groups, meetings, now revolving around their children and other parents. Just listen to what the mombies talk about. Oh yeah, you're totally staying up to date with events, continuing your self-development and knowledge, as if there was much depth and uniqueness to begin with. Absolutely brilliant, insightful, in-depth discourse. As if there aren't so many problems in the world, so much to focus on, and instead you needlessly bring into existence a life that didn't need to exist, something that could live a life of suffering, whose joy only satisfies a need that didn't need to exist, who will ultimately amount to nothing, be faced with the questions of life, the multitude and multifaceted, complex, problems of the world, of living beings, conscious existence, and human society, of the nature of consciousness, existence, the idea of the self, ultimately grappling with the horror of the finality of existence, which is generally dealt with through avoidance and logical fallacies. All that time and effort, all those resources, going to your own selfish need, when they could have been spent to help so many others. For the price of a first world child throughout their life, how many third world children could be saved? And it's not just children, you should be aware of how many charities focused on various aspects of the world there are, how many problems there are in the world. Are you aware of the concept of opportunity costs, you animalistic ditsy bimbo breeding fucks? And we're the selfish ones?
And for who will say, "If everyone thought life you we would be extinct." or talk about how they're raising the next generation of workers, investing (and forcing others to invest) in those who will keep economies going, that every genius, every person who made major contributions to the world, had to have been born and had a mother/parents, I say; do you honestly expect me to believe that this is what you had in mind, the greater good of the world, when you decided to have children? Explain to me why exactly the human race needs to continue to exist. But that question will seem so absurd, so beyond their capacity to grapple with, to properly analyze and give an intelligent well thought out coherent answer to, that you have almost no hope for this being anything other than fruitless.
Let me state this clearly:
FUCK MOTHERS!!! *makes the gesture of the fig with both hands pointed toward the heavens* "To the mothers of the world, I give these solely to you! And fuck the poor male saps that are dragged into this, especially the ones that actively desire it, as well. But particularly the women.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE] Vasectomize the hell out of yourself kolokol, eliminate any chance of this horror, this mistake, ever occurring, as soon as possible. Even if you ever do desire to have children and go through the biological process, there are sperm and egg donors so you can select from to ensure you have the highest quality genetics, the best chance at the genetic roulette, possible. Of course if you bring up, attempt to discuss this idea, with most people, emotion driven women in particular who have a poor innate grasp of rationality, poorly developed mental architecture, you'll be treated as I described above, some emotionless monster devoid or romance who's attempting to create some grotesque science experiment. Even for adoptions, oxytocin, intranasal shots during the introductory bonding period, or even better, which may be available in the future, oxytocin receptor agonists, superior drugs that trigger release or increased production. There's a good chapter in Future Imperfect, highly recommended, related to this and love. The nootropic/transhumanist/biohacking communities have excellent information on this.
This is the perfect variation available, I'd highly recommend it if available. Hell, take a trip out of the area if it's not, it's worth it as a lifelong investment. Fairly painless, very fast, safe, relatively affordable even out of pocket compared to the lifelong benefit, the cost of a child or even total cost (including psychological, damage done to your life/well-being) or a pregnancy scare abortion, of never having to worry again. Take an anxiolytic beforehand, etizolam is cheap and readily available, maybe even an opiate, to make it even easier, the time will seem to go by so much faster.
I'm thinking about documenting the entire process, exactly what you have to do from start to beginning, what you go through, to make it easier for others.
During early highschool my highest dream was quite honestly the extermination of the human race, and I was serious about it. I didn't have childish ideas of a doomsday device, I won't go into specifics because it's a very ugly subject, but I recall reading someone stating something along the lines that we're fortunate Theodore Kaczynski, AKA The Unabomber, wasn't a bioengineer or some related theory, didn't have a background in the design/modification of bacterial/viral organisms. I changed my views because I enjoy the creations of humanity and would prefer such as world for my own selfish gain, and see a technological singularity, the creation of AI, as the ultimate goal, but still wouldn't be opposed to the concept of voluntary extinction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_Human_Extinction_Movement I've wondered in the past if this is the answer to the Fermi Paradox, that AIs find no reason to continue to exist, if they can be said to have had existed or had a concrete concept of the self to begin with, and essentially commit "suicide".
