It's crazy to me how many people I meet in their early 30s don't want kids.

It usually comes off in 1 of 2 ways:
1) Defeatist: I'll never meet the right girl or I can't afford a house so how can I afford kids
2) Denialism: Maintaining my freedom is a much better life than being tied down with kids

Whether it be adherence to a moral code, a habit, a person, religion or career, I have personally found that living a life full of commitments brings the most joy so I don't understand people subscribed to #2

My biggest commitment is to myself and giving up is something I'll never do, so I also don't understand #1 though I know why this is pervasive.

To each their own, but on a societal scale, I think this sentiment will lead to a generation of lonely old people. That is both sad and incredibly scary.

Being tied down due to kids is a lie. Logistics become more complicated, but there is no being tied down.

Did you ever think that maybe you're just wrong about the motives of others?

I was stuck in camp 2. BTC gave me perspective on things. Also seeing all other adults flipping to full retard over Covid made me more resilient in believing in my own abilities and view on things

What about maths and not being able to afford kids no matter what you try? Pretty pointless having kids and struggling daily to put food on the table or being so deep in debt that you never enjoy the time together because you working to pay off debt.. I’ve just spent $30k on a IVF baby and I’m ...

Just posted this today, it starts off with the same question: https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs0w74rsry43kvxe7cnvhygytrnm0vqnmmql4zyxdfzppxvy66wvwqel4dew

For me it’s crazy to see the number of males I know who don’t want to have kids and openly mock the ones who start a family

I had some similar thoughts about this yesterday. I understand their reasoning. It’s just that it’s very bad reasoning. https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqswhntn45cmqhghdvwqecl5syy2kr63qqf7u26d3k4y02rx4k6ud7q50h9at

No joke! Not having kids never entered my mind when I was in my twenties and '30s. In fact that's the one thing I've always been 100% sure of is that I wanted to be a mom... A good mom!

evolution is mad right, one generation and the people with an anti human mindset are gone

Sad but true Fiat mindset is so deep in the society🤢

Jake Woodhouse · 29w

I see it a lot as well Sad But true The worst is the “I am not having babies because of climate change”, taking some moral high ground, without realising the lie.

Get married, make babies, work the land

I’ve come to realize that life takes time. There’s no quick fix or instant improvement. It requires time and investment in yourself and your partner. You’re never truly ready to be a parent. I understand trying to establish yourself and waiting to have children, but not having children at al...

I’ve made a lot of big decisions in my life, and having kids was easily the best choice I’ve ever made. Not even close.

What a breath of fresh air this crowd is. I’ve spent too many years hearing anti-human bullshit from normie leftists.

It has stemmed from the cost of living in a fiat based centralised world, kids bad for the planet, cost of housing, cost of education through to university etc.....fiat is a big trap

James Balone · 29w

The fiat matrix has caused such a delay in the ability to build wealth that most young people can’t afford to have children until it’s almost too late. You you have children before building a foundation for them, or try to wait until you can give them everything you want to be able to give them?

It's all natural selection then, the weak die out.

nostrich · 29w

We live in a world with fake values 😐 Its hard to live with dignitiy and love oneself. When the that is created and there is more space to just be .... people will go back to making more babies.

nostrich · 29w

i'm 46 and have never had an interest in children. I think i'll be just fine.

Matt 🛸 · 29w

You should see how many old lonely people I see at work who have children. Having children isn't a silver bullet. Nor does not having them mean one must end up lonely. We've chosen not to have children up to this point. We could afford to and we fully support other people doing it if they want to. W...

Could it be that the divorce rate is so high they fear is they don’t want that to happen to their kids if they were to get married?

It will also lead to societal collapse in relatively short order
