Give me a break. How about the people having kids in:

  • -900,000: Whatever happened to kill off almost all humans
  • -1177: Bronze Age collapse
  • 535: Volcanic winter of 536
  • 1347-1351: Black Death
  • 1914-1918: WWI and Spanish Flu
  • 1929-1939: Great Depression and Dust Bowl
  • 1962: Great Leap Forward
  • 1943-1945: Worst killings and bombings of WWII
  • 2020: For our lifetimes. COVID and 100 other disasters. So bad most have forgotten it started with Australia burning to the ground, 1 billion animals killed.

As to racism, we watched Mississippi Burning last night. My wife isn't from America and was horrified. "Honey, that was happening when our parents were kids."

2024+: Climate change, water wars, resultant mass migration, worldwide rise of fascism.

You're right we should have stopped having children millennia ago. I wish my parents never met.

I don't think you understand why people stop having kids, do you? video

Humans didn't evolve until about 300,000 years ago. Humans didn't exist 900,000 years ago.

If we did, it would make us even dumber, since we already spent about 280k years in the dirt before we considered growing food ourselves in one place.
