I’m waiting for “I castrated myself to rid myself of toxic masculinity.”
Virtue signaling is an evolutionary adaptation to attract mates, friends, & allies, and to increase status & prestige. But every adaptation has some maladaptive side-effects....https://www.outsideonline.com/2405491/vasectomy-climate-change …

If men castrated themselves as prep for being picked up by space aliens (Heaven's Gate cult) I see no reason why social justice religion won't eventually have committed believers advocating for exactly that. Which is kinda a win for those of us who don't want them propagating

Of course, the same logic also applies to jihadi suicide bombers. Clearly it's memes that they are trying to spread, not genes...

Portions of that article are just plain chilling! "We need fewer humans, and getting there voluntarily will be an awful lot less painful than doing it with war, famine, and natural disaster." WHOA! What a misanthrope!

These people are SO SMART. Do YOUR part to ensure that only those who disagree with you breed! It's the obvious strategy! So future proof!!

It’s no more a Darwin Award than a monk or priest. And they sure seem to have extra time to spread their memes
