@Sherkel_64 Yes, there's lots to be said about it, and a lot is said. I see it as a desperate attempt to escape the fate we're creating for ourselves. Realizing that nothing we do, or have ever done, will provide humanity with a legacy can generate a sense of meaninglessness in our lives.

@lesuknight Thanks for providing your input. I'll give that a read at some point. It's an awful thought, so I suppose the less of us that have to face it, the better. Do you think there's anything to be said for robotic "life" preserving our cultural achievements after we're gone?

Not sure if I'm e/acc or just Malthusian to be honest. Better to use the popular labels if I'm gonna use any, I figure.

@JeffLadish Gradually influencing the economy to curtail the ability to breed. At least, I hope.

@Sherkel_64 Humans will survive collapse of global financial systems & civilization, but not collapse of Earth's biosphere. As Lyle Lewis writes in Racing to Extinction, when our ancestors evolved ability to throw accurately, the Sixth Extinction began. Mega fauna was hunted to extinction.

@lesuknight When I think of how a mass extinction event would actually play out, I still get worried...it's a tough thing to reconcile. Of course, those weapons would harm others far more than humans too.

@Sherkel_64 Fears of human extinction bc of AI are rampant, but I don't see how that would play out. Global capitalism is bound to collapse soon, and that will reduce births more than growth in tech. With madmen in control of nuclear weapons, the end of the world has never been closer.

@Sherkel_64 Economic considerations factor heavily in procreation decisions, when people have a choice. Specifically, perceptions of future income. Today, young people chose to avoid procreation because they can barely afford to maintain their own lives. Our bleak future is the clincher.

Imagine wanting to force new humans to exist in the world because you want there to be more people who have your same last name. Humans at large are far from caring and they are a massive disappointment. Watch the full video here: youtu.be/Se4LkP7vt94?si…

@Sallubju @SHK_Movement You're not alone, most people don't realize it's racism and eugenics for a couple to insist that the human they raise perpetuates their racial make up and genetic material. Neither helps us personally survive, just helps our genetic subgroup survive.

@lesuknight @SHK_Movement You simply use the buzzwords racism and eugenics despite this having nothing to do with them. Both are very good if they help us survive.

@Gabo_Magus Hola. Thank you for your wonderful letter. It's good to hear from people who have found the VHEMT concept worth their time and thought. I share your feelings about the fascists running the US right now as well as their enablers. I only check X for notifications, I don't post.

La Magus Gabo@Gabo_Magus·
Mr. @lesuknight , cordial greetings: Let me introduce myself. My name is Gabriela, but here they know me as La Magus Gabo. I am a social worker who lives in the Colombian Caribbean. I grew up among the green and the songs of birds, like the migrations of beetles and monarch butterflies. I am one of those people who walks barefoot on cobblestones, one of those who have had the joy of contemplating all the rivers of my homeland, Colombia. I am a lover of nature and all life forms. I believe in the balance of the ecosystem and that we human beings, besides being animals, are the only powerful ones who have the gift of consciousness, but that it seems to be limited by all our desires for greatness and for being a spirit beyond one another, forgetting that true greatness lies in nature and in all its ecosystemic achievements. I am writing you this pseudo letter to inform you that I have come across your movement since I was in high school. I read about it in an encyclopedia, in one of the libraries that were in the school where I spent my last years. At that time I was very interested in notions of politics, ethics, philosophy, art, deep thought, you know, what a teenager with internet usually dabbles in when they are a little bit weird for their environment. And since then I identified with many of your positions and concerns for the environment. They also aligned with my ideations as a woman and the social impedance that, as a woman, my duty was to bring life, carry it, incubate it and all the historical and social implications that this delimits. But I am getting off topic, focusing on your movement and on the little I really know about your academic or collective achievements regarding the movement, since neither is there much information on the internet. And admitting that I have come across your Twitter social network, I have analyzed that perhaps your movement currently lacks a renewing perspective. I don't say this in a bad way, but in a friendly way, and pointing out that I really like the objective and motto of your movement: "May we live long and die out." I think it is pertinent that we human beings live long and fruitful lives, but for that we must be far fewer than we currently are. But I also reflect that the fact that fewer of us poor people are born is not a benefit in a system where per capita there are thousands of Coca-Cola bottles, reserving water in the form of soda. It is useless for us poor people to stop giving birth when millionaires can afford to have a patriarchal, overblown family extension, like that of the demons on earth Elon Musk, and the most despicable Donald Trump. By the way, since I mention them, at the moment I was ruining it u It is necessary that more people like you join the initiative to criticize how techno-fascist, conservative, pro-demographic explosion and industrialization capitalism, with ecological awareness, is questioned and criticized in these spheres of power. This year I have not seen a single tweet from you regarding everything that is happening in the United States, and I do not know if perhaps it is because of your background as a state agent or veteran, and that could lead to some suspension problem or to your intimidation or integrity. But it is necessary that you criticize the government of Donald Trump, which is directly condemning the earth, through all his viruses, which he has placed in presidencies like those of Argentina, Japan, among other countries, in order to destroy natural resources for the benefit of billionaires, who, like puppets, keep us anesthetized through nonsense, artificial intelligence, fast content, little reading, cheap cinema. Perhaps Westernized voices are more listened to, especially if they mark different privileges. Therefore, people who are in those privileges should be the main ones to oppose the oppressive forms of power that put peasant communities, jungle communities and ecosystems in total danger.

@KateDerric19161 That reminds me: I have a public service announcement. If someone comes to your door in a white coat carrying a clipboard, and they ask to see your buttocks. Don't show them! They only want to see your buttocks! If only I'd been told.

As Executive Director and President of the Antifa Organization, I hereby disband the entire organization and resign my position. From now on Antifa will be a leaderless movement promoting anti fascist actions wherever fascism threatens freedom. “All you fascists bound to lose.”

@ThisIsEfilism @MagnusVinding In the meantime, ”X is a toxic media platform & (...) its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse,” news media The Guardian said in a statement announcing it would no longer be posting on the platform. Why do you support toxic platform?
