Why do people continue to procreate even though quality of life is rapidly declining and the planet is dying

Why do people continue to procreate even though quality of life is rapidly declining and the planet is dying

accidents happen

Instinct.

They're selfish. Or the retarded government where they live doesn't allow for abortions.

Because they have eyes but can not see, Ears but they can not hear. They do not love the truth so are given over to the lie.

Pray for death because reality is far harsher then the lie.

Cuck logic.

Because sex feels good and brain wants babies, nigger.
Old parts of the mind don't evolve out, they get stacked on.

nihilism is for fags

This, honestly if all nihilist just killed themselves like they keep saying they want to then the world would be a better place.

You're in denial or just a science denier

Sex is a helluva drug.

Only niggers and asians are breeding faster than they can support.

The first tier countires are breeding at less than subsistance level.

If youre smart, then you need to breed. Its the only way to stop the world getting wiped out by a shitskin Tsunami

science denier? look at the facts dumbcunt

the planet isn't dying. the biggest threat right now is global warming and atm is something that a majority of the scientific community is attempting to prevent. we have plenty of safety measures towards diseases and we as a species are still developing.

meanwhile, civilisation's living conditions are rapidly improving and have been for decades. the world economy is rebounding. if you actually can debate this you're a fucking moron tbh, like nigga people didn't even wash their hands regularly until a relatively short time ago.

actually kill yourself

Are you kidding? Humanity has never been safer, cleaner, healthier and more well nourished than it is at this moment. We're doing very well despite the fear mongering

I think you'll find that statistically there are more people in poverty and starvation than ever before

>majority of the scientific community working to prevent climate change
Even if that were true that doesn't mean the necessary societal change is or will happen.

Statistically? What statistics are you referring to? In terms of percentages, people have never been better off.

because more people are being born, you fucking degenerate.

the way we measure poverty in a sense is heavily flawed, considering a lot of 'third world, poverty ridden countries' are generally doing fine for themselves and rapidly developing

Hey look it's the latest 4channer who watched a youtube video about nihilism and thinks he knows what it is. If anything the gentlemen you are calling a "fag" would be considered somebody condoning anti-natalism.

So why don't you get up and do something about it and stop bitching about it on the internet.

I'm not bitching about it I'm stating it as a fact.

okay who cares? they're both trash philosophies with not much differentiating themselves, and usually nihilism leads to anti-natilism.

fair point, although it's safe to consider that previous predictions of stuff this scale has usually overshot. global warming is a pretty iffy subject to properly understand, though it's pretty much established fact it's a real thing

I was discussing this with my wife just the other day. We have 2 kids (16 and 10). We both agreed that had we known then what we do now about the world and society, we would have never had kids.

are you retarded?
>inb4 hurr der r moar ppl so more ppl r in poverty wut iz per capita

this is the fucking golden age, even for niggers in africa who get to drink coke instead of dirty water and get UN food aid to supplement their dirt cookies.

the big problem is that africa and asia cannot modernize with thier current populations without ruining the planet. Unless we start colonizing the solar system and hit post scarcity the niggers and chinks will make us breach carrying capacity.

I wish I wasn't born. If I can't apply myself, and get to where I wan to be, then I'll take care of this problem at least.

Brains just wants sex, children are just a byproduct but hey we have birthcontrol now so

I have no idea. I got snipped because I don't think this place is worth being in.

Lads the planet isn't dying, it's just becoming less habitable for humans, the earth will keep spinning for billions of years to come no matter what we do, it don't give no flying fuck.

I have money. As such I must ensure my offspring are setup to rule over you plebs for all eternity. Your quality of life is inconsequential to my noble bloodline.

This. Earth has been through a lot worse than a few billion clever chimps.

People have it so easy now days, that is has given rise to an outbreak of crazy feminazis and SJWs, because they have nothing better to do with their time.

Every generation of youth goes through the phase of "omg we gotta change the world!"

But if you wanna change the world, you should start by changing yourself.

That's a good question OP.

The honest answer is because people are animals and reproduce like bacteria if allowed.

The average person isn't intelligent enough to even consider their impact upon the world and climate and even if they do logic says it's not very often or global consciousness would be different.

The sad fact of the matter is that the average human being is a fucking retard.

Care to elaborate? What are you referring to by "this problem"?

Why the fuck do YOU care? so long as YOU have no desire to have a child to burden your finances for 18+ years then you have no problem in any way coming out on top financially.

Shit will at best be problematic or civilization ending at worst but get your head out of your ass thinking the WORLD will end, this bountiful rock has existed for BILLIONS of years and continue to do so for many more.

Civilization as we know it may end but the rock will continue to adamantly exist. So stop giving a fuck about others, make money fuck bitches and live out live then fuck off and die after 60 years god damn.

Satan trolling everybody

Nigga brain wants kids. If the brain only wanted sex, women wouldn't get baby syndrome when they hit their mid/late 20s (guys do the same thing, just at a different age). If the brain only wanted sex, just fucking would be enough for humans, and they wouldn't hit that "something is missing" feeling at a certain point in their lives

Sadly you will still whore your children out to death.

I pray God forgives you or enlightens you before it is too late.

Because some of us can afford better things then cheeseburgers that come in a can

What this really comes down to is your personal outlook on life. An outlook and philosophy that has been ingrained into your mushy little brain since birth regardless of your upbringing and most likely will never change no matter how much suffering you endure throughout your life. People change their hair colour, their sexual partners, their political views even their gender.. But they will not change their outlook on life and nobody will ever alter that. You can call it "strong" and "honorable" to be and optimist and want to continue life not unlike a simple dog but what it really is, is simply chemicals inside your brain. You're nothing but a head full of illusions sitting atop a human frame consisting of rotting flesh and disintegrating bones doing the same shit centuries of other replicating organisms did before.

Even when all you've ever loved are long dead and everything you ever wanted is done with, you will still concoct ways to sublimate, isolate, distract or ignore the reality of your little useless and meaningless blip of existence. Most likely you have a positive outlook on life and will fight tooth and nail against any pessimistic philosophy because you are human, TBH most likely still living with your parents/trying to educate yourself filled with high hopes and wonderful dreams, intoxicated by the infinite possibilities of life meanwhile living in a very finite reality.You may wash your hands and genitals every morning then browse Sup Forums but this by no means makes you happier than your forefathers. The inherent unsatisfactory living conditions of all humans, the need of personal usefulness and meaning in your society, the lust for sex and need to be with others, the fear of death, the fear of isolation, the stress of day to day work drudgery for 40+ years, the pain nonsense, the disease nonsense and the inevitable slow and gradual death nonsense in your life has not changed at all compared to your ancestral cavemen who stepped out of the caves.

My outlook on life is miserable and an unpleasant, perhaps morbid mistake. But I think all higher conscious (human) life is a miserable and unpleasantly morbid mistake separated from all nature. Now let me quote an actual well spoken pessimistic philosopher who can actually explain this shit unlike my retarded self:

Humans are born with an overdeveloped skill (understanding, self-knowledge) which does not fit into nature's design. The human craving for justification on matters such as life and death cannot be satisfied, hence humanity has a need that nature cannot satisfy. The tragedy, following this theory, is that humans spend all their time trying not to be human. The human being, therefore, is a paradox.

Zapffe described four principal defense mechanisms that humankind uses to avoid facing this paradox:

Isolation is "a fully arbitrary dismissal from consciousness of all disturbing and destructive thought and feeling".

Anchoring is the "fixation of points within, or construction of walls around, the liquid fray of consciousness".The anchoring mechanism provides individuals a value or an ideal that allows them to focus their attentions in a consistent manner. Zapffe also applied the anchoring principle to society, and stated "God, the Church, the State, morality, fate, the laws of life, the people, the future" are all examples of collective primary anchoring firmaments
.
Distraction is when "one limits attention to the critical bounds by constantly enthralling it with impressions". Distraction focuses all of one's energy on a task or idea to prevent the mind from turning in on itself.

Sublimation is the refocusing of energy away from negative outlets, toward positive ones. The individuals distance themselves and look at their existence from an aesthetic point of view (e.g., writers, poets, painters). Zapffe himself pointed out that his produced works were the product of sublimation.

I think there are many groups behind the concept of anti-natalism than nihilists and the hippy ecocentric freaks. I have probably commit nearly all horrendous crimes one can commit on this god forsaken rock aside from pedophilia, murder and most horrific of all... giving birth.

merry christmas.

If you want to persuade other by speaking optimistically at least attempt to use proper grammar like the ironic truckloads of self help books did before you.

The planet is hardly DYING.
At worse we're simply making it less viable for ourselves and a lot of the larger lifeforms we're familiar with.
Even if we wiped ourselves out in nuclear war life would go on and the planet itself would hardly take note beside some traces in our layer of the geological record.
