mfs life expectancyz was under 30 and medical tech was ass

dark ages in the sense is that theres a few hundred year period in the 1000s with abnormally less documentation than other eras

the black plague was ass

related to my response to rvi but I’d like to imagine if I lived during those times I could see that things were progressing, even if conditions were currently bad

dont think so

It’s just another by product of the same old internet bullshit rabbit hole. It ties in perfectly to loser culture.

Do you really think if you lived in the nuclear age you would view things as progressing?

I legit would think its the end times to the umpteenth degree.

mindset is everything

negativity is easier to latch onto cuz it stands out. emotions r easy to take advantage of. easy to make ppl feel trapped and helpless than insist they have free will and can do anything

ive never made this connection but i completely agree thats a great observation

i’d really like to think i’m not dooming and i invite others to persuade me of another perspective

The best anti children propaganda i ever seen was @camille posts

Seen my seed could turn into him has made me not want a son anymore

i also think its funny when people say this generation is stupider than the last

its like your dumbass generation raised them this is your fault

gen alpha cant read

Ff7r literally has a release date

do you think you can convince yourself of that same thing now

or like think of some compelling arguments for it

and 2nd question, even if things arent overall 'progressing' is it still worth it to have kids? like say if things were just stagnant or someting

well personally I like Camille

even if it facts it prob too euro skewed anyway

during that same era they were really cooking in other parts of world

i bet

well we are allowed to say it

since we didnt raise them

Do you have a fear that big tech is going to weaponize these innovations and dangle them like candy to convince a great adoption of ai that will eventually surplace the government in some capacity and diminish democracy.

its like taking this life saving and powerful tech and leveraging it to gain more power over the government.

Peter Thiel and other tech ceos have been pretty vocal about this being a goal of theres

this is all theoretical but I’d like to imagine a nuclear age era Nort would not think nuclear worldwide catastrophe was guaranteed

but climate change catastrophe is.. if I’m not mistaken? the UN just said we’re crossing a dangerous threshold where effects will be irreversible.

also I think the issues we’re seeing with AI now are small compared to what they will be

idk!!
