    I sincerely feel sad for you that the concepts of a broad sense of empathy and deep connections with others who don’t share half your DNA seem like such difficult mental exercises, and that you assume those who choose not to act against their values are somehow less moral or caring about society. I don’t know who failed you, but it was certainly someone important.

      with others who don’t share half your DNA

      Ok, this shows that you have no idea what I’m talking about. I’m not talking about my family or descendents at all. I’m talking about people’s motivations in general. I like the phrase “Individual behaviours are impossible to predict. Groups behaviours are easier to predict”.

      I general, I believe that people with children will as a group fight harder for the future, and that the childfree movement while good intentioned may be harmful to generating societal will to enact the change necessary to combat climate change in time.

      I’m glad you think most people care about society because when I look around and see that climate change hasn’t even been a top issue in the US election, and that a candidate who obviously has no clue about anything is a coin flip away from winning…well I don’t see the world with your toxic positivity.
