Make babies, without babies everything you are doing is kind of pointless.

Yea. Imma call bullsihit on this one.

Technology is arguably the most impactful thing that humans have ever created. Regardless of biological inheritance, the individual contributions each of us make in a lifetime (in the things we create and the words we speak and write) will propagate across many generations BECAUSE of human technology.

To even acknowledge that humans have “something special” over animals, is to recognize the evolutionary power of our technology to shape society and the world around us in ways that baby making will never touch.

Babies are just cannon fodder for technological growth.

What's the point of technology if population collapses?

Mike Cautillo 1y ago

Right!

Not to mention making babies is the most lindy tech. around.

Make making humans great again.

Mike Cautillo 1y ago

I did my part. Three time over in fact. 🥰

SuiGenerisJohn 1y ago

Your proliferation is good.

ManiMe 1y ago

Right!

Not to mention … the human lineage has been TOP baby makers on this planet for hundreds of millennia.

The Lindy effect would agree that 50 or 100 years of regionally declining birth rates is of ZERO concern to human survival.

Population collapse… 😤

Seriously? With human population being the MOST now than ever before… you are concerned about a recent decline in birth rate ?

Let’s talk in 5 more generations, after it rebounds. If it does not, then we can go full on handmaids tale.

There's actually a decent argument for population collapse coming over the next century and some proposed solutions. Quite an interesting topic.

Foundation: let’s make something to keep the knowledge alive and then make the dark ages take less centuries than it should without this help. 🫡

L take, the only way to pass on technological innovation and keep the ball rolling is to raise and teach the next generation how to use and build upon it.

Babies are cannon fodder for knowledge. If we don't do this then we're are only going to have further generations of brain rotten tick tock users that the don't contribute much to society, in such a scenario society stagnates.

You should try having kids

ManiMe 1y ago

What I have or have not “tried” is irrelevant. And you have no idea.

My statements stand on their own value. They are either bullshit or not.

CARLOS 1y ago

I have an idea

Laeserin 1y ago

They're bullshit. People have value in their own right.

ManiMe 1y ago

Yes. Everybody is valuable. Until they die. Then only the things they’ve built and the ideas they’ve shared with others (including god) are all that is left to value.

Technology (the evolution of human consciousness) is what we have made, and is the most valuable thing we can pass onto future generations, no matter whose babies they are.

I may be full of bullshit, but I will always respect you and everybody else I meet in this short life. That is my small but valuable gift.

Laeserin 1y ago

No, we can leave a genetic legacy. Someone to use the things we have built.
