That implies things which I countered.

What's the problem?

Personality traits are not mentioned in your references wiki article.

There are plenty of counter examples of other people who are born in the same month than me who are totally different.

There is also a huge difference how people handle sickness like the ones mentioned in the wik article.

The origin of those signs are also totally different and are pure fiction

Having kids is everything but obvious.

Don't dismiss critical thinking with an attack on you just because it feels obvious to you.

Regret emotions etc. are only possible when you are alive.

Missery etc also can only be felt when you are alive.

You clearly don't take any responsibility at all otherwise I'm lost on how easy you just dismiss concerns.

When I'm the maker of another human it's definitely worth considering before if it will be worth to do so

At least I would stop it for my gen pool.

I'm not responsible for potential suffering of others.

Yes but is it fair to the new human?

Oversimplified: would you be okay to create a new human if you know they have only 100 days to life? 5 years? 20? Suffering in school, sleep problems etc etc?

Just because it's evolutionary pre programmed?

Nope I have real crisism and the state of crypto after 10 years AND practical case studies like El Salvador shows the issues.

Unfortunate that it's geoblocked it's worth while as she talks to people in El Salvador about crypto. Normal people

You should be intelligent enough to make the right assumption of what I'm referencing.

If you don't believe in human made climate change pls say so directly so I can ignore you

In my opinion plenty of people just use kids as a scapegoat for meaning of life.

My question would be why you value your kids time more than bouldern?

Because you made them? Because they consume so much time with them?

Or because you are just better in being a parent and biological getting satisfaction out of it?

Unfortunately for me I'm not sure if I would end like you or the other poster who regrets it sometimes.

Also I'm not sure if I want to force another/new human through my experiences like going to school etc.

In dune the king new/realized that he can't do what is necessary but has to prepare his son to do so.

I have the opposite though: perhaps I need to not to have kids to stop the cycle of creating meaning through procreation.

Yes I overthink stuff and one way or the other I still think becoming a parent would be a life changing experience but besides all of the normal thoughts climate change comes on top of it.

Depressing though very depressing and concerning.

Normally modern companies are also sometimes a safe space for all the discrimination happening because of religion.

Like the campus of Aramco were you can be more lax. Or were homophobia is not tolerated etc.

COVID also showed how problematic it is if people just accept some believe system without expecting any logic.

If people don't question basic and stupid religios beliefs they also tend not to question real issues in society.
