Personally I am very fond of voluntary human extinction.
If we give up on withering away, and instead learn to accept death with some dignity instead of becoming a parasite to our offspring, euthanasia is a good way to go.
The fact that the older, non productive population will be more than the productive population in the not so distant future suggests that we need to rethink the way we go about doing things.
If life expectancy moves past 100, and people retire at 60-65, society will need to feed and take care of people for 35 or so years, that is far far more than the time and money it invests on its children, for a much larger segment of the population, which suggests that the old exploit the young.
You mean, reality itself? Does the next moment in time consent to the current one? I don't think we should annihilate ourselves because you can't reconcile it with your clinging to the idea of consent
I referred to the pyramid scheme that we have designed, where people have children and said children work to fund the retirement and pension of old people.
Old people could just accept their death, and pass away peacefully instead of burdening the society with their existence while actively causing harm to younger generations with votes on matters whose consequences they will not experience.
As a young adult, I am asked to reconcile paying and working for old people, most of whom despise my very existence because I am not cis-het, people who repeatedly called for my death, people who go on twitter tirades about how LGBT people shouldn't exist and in the process making a their base of borderline functioning adults more rabid, my taxes and work pay so that said rabid animals have healthcare while they vote to deny mine.
I have to fund the pension of people who tried to indoctrinate me into their religion by instilling fear into a younger me, telling me that I will go to hell every single day for being a non believer, or for being different.
With all due respect, humanity is a steaming pile of garbage.
