Yeah this is where I'm at. I work a full time job and my bills are paid, house is kept up with and vehicles and pets are taken care of. Credit is good - I'm doing all my adult things.

However, I've been told I'm immature and my sense of humor isn't right for my age. I do have savings but if something big is coming, I might scrap a bit here and there because I'd rather go make memories. I don't have any kids and I'm not sure I want them. Apparently these things are wrong for 30 but I think I have a good life. I'd rather quote Spongebob and laugh at ASDF rather than be some of the sticks in the mud I've seen

"It’s complicated, and I apologize for that, but it’s worth getting right. The very first question we have to ask is: Are we human beings 100 percent governed by the laws of physics? Or do we, as conscious creatures, have some wiggle room that allows us to act in ways that are outside of the laws of physics? Almost all scientists will tell you that of course it’s the former." -Sean Carroll

So you’re advocating for people to just…leave others behind? How would you feel if someone else decided you were too stupid to have refridgeration for “a couple of weeks”? How’d you feel if someone said your mom didnt deserve to live because she cant cook for herself? It’s this system that has problems, not the people that fuel it.

No, we need a bottleneck event. Modern society has let too many people who would have died of their stupidity instead survive and pass on their genes. We’re retarding the species in real time. We saw a bit of correction during covid, with people committing suicide by stupidity by turning anti-mask/antivax. Just not the kinds of numbers we need if we’re to have a chance. A couple weeks without refrigeration would be enough to get rid of most of them, especially if emergency services aren’t working.

In fact this is the exact sentence I tell people when they ask me why I don't have kids.

They seem to understand it pretty fast and stop asking more about it. I guess they think about how I behave on a daily basis and feel sorry for my hypothetical child lmao.

>Yeah, that isn't acting like an adult. Plenty of kids do things like that all the time in a healthy context.

The parents are offloading their adult responsibilities onto their children. We can do semantics all day long but neither one of us is wrong here.
