  • I think it’s perfectly deniable that it’s selfish if you believe your children would have more valuable existences if they existed than if they didn’t, and there’s some value in their lives. You do things because you decided to do them, not necessarily because they benefit you – unless you believe you can trivially reduce all motivation to selfishness (which then reduces to the concept of selfishness to something so trite as to be meaningless)




  • Yeah it’s not just lemmy but it’s certainly prevalent here. I think the allure is that it can feel ‘sophisticated’ and ‘aware’ to be cynical, but it is annoying.

    Especially the anti-natalists OMFG. ‘Having children is like totally selfish and inmoral’ oh jeez shut your trap. Like I get the anti-hyper-natalists because having like 5 children is also completely nutso these days, but. Well anyway.

    Tl;Dr: totally, dude
