I'm sure this rhetoric was true for people during the civil war, WW1, WW2, mass plagues and other difficult points of history. The fact we are here is because someone believed that things could get better enough to create our ancestors. Not to mention countries get way worse if the birth rate starts to decline too much so that only adds to the problems (see Japan/China/etc).
It's fine to not do it yourself but thank your fortune everyday that someone is willing to.
If the birth rates decline enough, that would rather be the end of the problems.
How would that solve the problem of evil people and evil systems?
Because everyone would die and so there wouldn't be anyone to be evil, or to be evil to.
oh is your goal everyone dying because that sounds pretty close to evil
My goal is the minimum suffering across all beings who can suffer across all time. It sounds evil to me to keep people alive just to suffer.
So then we need to be alive to do things like reduce suffering for future generations unless you plan to extinguish all life so nothing can suffer
It would not be a tragedy for the planet if the human race went extinct. The planet could heal from the damage our species has done.
Technically nothing is a tragedy for the planet and it’s also incapable of being damaged because it’s a nonconscious rock floating in space to which ideological concepts of damage and healing don’t apply
You are simply immature and want all humans to die lmao
