      i suggest we figure out a way to maintain the habitability of the planet without eugenics.

        Right, but from a “carbon footprint” perspective, making new humans is the worst thing a human could do for their footprint. What we need to get away from is the argument that our individual carbon footprints are too high. I mean, they are, but the ruling class is a lot more egregious.

              as i mentioned in the other subthread, eugenics is often used synonymously with genocide, which is the meaning i was connoting.

                Genocide is not being suggested.

                Genocide is against the other’s will.

                I am not suggesting any kind of violence.

                  propaganda that encourages one segment of the population to “voluntarily” cease procreation is a method of genocide.

                    Who said anything at all about “one segment of the population”?

                    I didn’t. Maybe I’m wrong, but I didn’t see anybody in the present thread talk about “one segment of the population.”

                    I do NOT think only one segment of the population should cease procreation.

                    I think everyone everywhere should stop procreation.

                    But they won’t. How could they, when humans have no freewill to choose?

                    We will continue making more pointless copies of each other till some outside force stops us from reproduction, like a giant meteor hitting the earth or the sun expanding to engulf the earth or the earth becoming so hot masses of humans die from the heat or some massive highly fatal pandemic destroys humans.

                    I can’t imagine what is so exciting about our existence in the first place, that causes us to continue on and on.
