I don't strongly want kids, but I do want someone to advocate for me when I get old.

That's a terrible reason to have children

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I know. But it's the only honest reason that I can think of.

Senior citizen advocacy groups could be created. No need for children just activism.

I think waking up would be easier if I just... Like... Had a clock that knew exactly when I went to sleep so it would like... Wake me up on the right timeframe...

Alternatively dump cold water on me

Great thing about people who don't want to have kids -- they're self-extinguishing. The problem literally takes care of itself over a large enough time frame.

Where's the problem that's extinguishing itself?

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nowhere in 60 years. :D

You still haven't answered the question.

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not in the habit of answering rhetorical questions.

Or stupid ones.

How are people who don't want to have kids a problem?

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Generational wealth isn't accumulated - so it goes back to the state. Falling birthrates cause governments to tighten restrictions on birth control, abortions, etc.

I mean, it's not a problem for me; but the state considers it a problem.

As someone else mentioned, it's also the plot point to Idiocracy.

Isn't that the plot to Idiocracy?
