      @Kvirion said in The ethics of having children while in sub-standard metabolic condition:

      Have you also considered the consequences of bringing a child to a world that will with high probability encounter collapse pretty soon? Our current lifestyle is impossible to sustain, Earth is already overly exploited - both culturally and ecologically...

      Kivirion. I must try to arrest this vision. "collapse" is not a matter of probability at all. It's a matter of choices and perspectives, which will hinge on conversations. Many uncomfortable. Please be careful with your speech and imagery. At first and foremost for yourself.

      There's nothing new under the sun. The current 0.04% of human history is simply a bit Mayan in its nature. That is to say we appear to appease the deference of sacrifice on a grand scale. Fundamentally that is why some seem somewhat desperate for "crisis" to cover their losses, while chickens come home to roost. If you want to go there, you will. And if you don't, you won't. Life will go on either way. Until the last man wakes up, smells the Peaty coffee and faces the music.

      This casual observer thinks the problem for many is closer to home than comfort would allow for. At some point, he may be capable of describing it with poetry and science. But in many ways. Raymond already did. Not to mention it's in the Bible. And probably the Quran. And probably the Torah. And what better cardiac stimulant is there than a son, a daughter, a brother, or a sister. Don't worry. Because you're already surrounded. Now the hard part.

        LOL! Are you trying to claim that our world and its future are just social constructs?

        The path to a collapse is clear. And knowing the inertia of human civilization it is pretty inevitable... The choice was taken a long time ago in 1980-ties, when the West decided to enter an exploitative neoliberal path... Or even earlier during the industrial revolution...
        We just don't know the exact date and scale of the upcoming mess yet...

        I'm saying that responsibly as a well-trained sense-maker and risk assessor. What are your credentials?
        BTW False blind optimism will make things worse. Proactive people like to be prepared. But maybe NPCs/normies like to live in a false illusion of safety... "All will be great, just mindlessly consume more."

        There's nothing new under the sun. The current 0.04% of human history is simply a bit Mayan in its nature.

        Yep, and the history likes to repeat itself, but this time a fall will be considerably worse...
        Every future parent should know about this and make a conscious decision...

          Too bad I'm even-better-trained sense-maker and risk assessor. So, what are YOUR credentials, huh? Moreover, I have officially recognised and independently calibrated retardation detector and your comment set a new measurement record. Well done.

              Huh? Why would I be their fan? Judging your age by your overly liberal use of "LOL" and childish level of blackpill you're more in line with an average voter of theirs.

                No chap. You're just a bit thick, hopefully temporarily.

                "clear"... to you. You're only capable of prophesying your life. Or others you might be able to deceive. I'm not reading much capability in that department.

                That is your image, not mine. Aside, the film itself is brilliant. And steeped in metaphor for the avoidance of the very thing you're clearly desperate to hang on to.

                Good luck with it and have a great day.

                  @zawisza LOL, so you are a fan of PiS - assessing by your lack of a sense of humor, naivety, and grumpy/pompous style? It's even worse...

                  BTW your assessment couldn't be more wrong, I voted for Razem.

                        Don't worry Kvirion. I'll be sure to watch Fallout and base my worldview and behaviour on a literal interpretation of it.

                        Edit for your added image. No doubt you're (currently) looking forward to that. Which probably explains a component of your original message I responded to. I recommend you escape that place as soon as possible.

                          LOL, so you base your knowledge of reality on computer games? Or maybe on hallucinations from marijuana... Nice phenomenology...

                          But you know, some prefer to base their epistemic knowledge on vanguard science, humanities, and arts... 😉

                                How exactly did my thread become full of developing country politics? And do I have it correct that @Kvirion, who has warned me against an impending doom of industrial civilization brags about voting for a far-left party? It's like an arsonist warning me about a risk of my house burning down; or more precisely, like a CDR activist cautioning about possibility of anti-Tutsi riots in Rwanda. Dude, you're not some wise sage who has predicted a supposedly inevitable collapse, you are the collapse.

                                    Excuse me but Poland is a 1st world developed country; it has Human Development Index in Top-40, higher than Portugal.

                                    Polish politics is such a joke that voting alone makes one worthy of ridicule, but that he voted for leftists makes me think he was trolling - I know that Peat had some fondness for commies but this is too much.

                                      That could've pinched me. Then I remembered my own struggle to describe England a "developed" country. All things considered. And with a side of humour.

                                        LOL, do you suggest that the key criterion for judging someone is who someone votes for? That in such a way you can clearly pigeonhole me? 😆
                                        Have you heard about multi-criteria choices, dialectics, and multi-perspectivism?

                                        Or do you just "think" that one senator or president will save the world for you?

                                        BTW @zawisza guessed well, I was joking about my vote because I don't respect superficial politics for the masses. No political party represents me well enough... They don't even get what was the original purpose of democracy invented in ancient Greece, etc. And most importantly politicians aren't (systemic) problem-solvers, they just chatter to pander to specific voters...

                                        And yeah, I may agree that our political offtopic here was inappropriate, sorry for that.

                                        BTW Polad was always a noble country in Europe with a great tradition, but unfortunately in a bad geographical place/space - and through history was mostly fucked by East or West (alternating)...

                                        Back to the topic - have you heard about the four renowned schools of sense-making? Do you have any idea about in-depth ontology, epistemology, and phenomenology being used in advanced decision-making? Or rather you're making judgments based on your pretty limited scope of knowledge (or rather a scope of unconscious ignorance)?
                                        BTW this reminds me of a quote:

                                        Thinking is difficult, therefore let the herd pronounce judgment! — Carl Jung

                                          No political party represents me well enough...

                                          Are you sure? Last time I checked they have plenty of buffoons. (Joke)

                                          Or rather you're making judgments based on your pretty limited scope of knowledge (or rather a scope of unconscious ignorance)?

                                          Whenever someone refers to Dunning-Kruger effect in their argument it's 100% of the time a bad take.

                                          They don't even get what was the original purpose of democracy invented in ancient Greece

                                          With every comment you make yourself seem more and more obnoxious.

                                            LOL! I simply know my value... BTW I don't claim that I'm smarter than anybody else, I just have done my homework - how to make sense of things and how to get things done for the common good.

                                            Usually, some politician has some good diagnosis, but their "cure" is most often worse than the issue itself...
                                            Most politicians are just empty shells, they only offer superficial symbols or slogans without any idea of how to properly make things better... ("By their deeds, you will know them")

                                            Just read for example "Systemantics: The System's Bible" or simply carefully watch Nora's video and you will see it...

                                            Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring :
                                            There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
                                            And drinking largely sobers us again.
