Having kids isn't about whether they bring net benefits to _your_ tiny & transient life. Having kids is about creating your kids' lives & those of their kids in turn. Hedonic individualism is an evolutionary dead end. Pronatalism is the way forward.https://twitter.com/ManMadeMoon/status/1084013378245320704 …
Everybody should read this book by @bryan_caplan on how to do good-enough parenting once you understand behavior genetics. It's a great antidote to selfish, anti-natalist whining.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OA64Q6/
Thank you for this suggestion, it’s hard to find a good parenting book, especially one that doesn’t prop up ideas like emotional intelligence that is hard to measure as far as I can tell
On a side note, having and raising children to become responsible and productive members of society reflects a sense of community and is a collectivist act. So what is the problem with making a personal sacrifice for the greater good of society?
Their capacity for suffering is immense. It’s a massive risk to their wellbeing and an unnecessary one as there’s no need for future generations of our society.
If you are truly a natalist, like I am, you understand that we have no need to convince people who aren't, actually in the long run the less natalists there are, the more advantage you have being one of them
Seems like a reckless book to be promoting in a world that is succumbing to climate change
Anti-natalists should probably read this too...https://kirkmaxey.wordpress.com/2015/04/21/lineage-enders/ …
“Lineage Enders” is a ridiculous idea and term to use when trying to criticise antinatalists. Nobody’s specific lineage has value unless they can be proven to have superior genes, which even then are still subject to harmful mutations. Bloodline superstition, nothing more.
@SWMama
I want to buy this book for my sister. What book do you recommend to understand behavioral genetics? She is a schooled chem engi.
Just read and soak up what Judith Rich-Harris has written. You will quit taking credit and quit taking blame.
