at this point mankind is not allowed to advance anymore because of greedy corporations protecting their own interests

I know of no better life purpose than to perish attempting the great and impossible. The fact that something seems impossible should not be a reason to not pursue it. That’s exactly what makes it worth pursuing. Where would the courage and greatness be if success was certain and there was no risk. The only true failure is shrinking away from life’s challenges.

the population decline spiral begins or more like in progress

https://news.sky.com/story/china-imposes-13-tax-on-condoms-as-birth-rate-declines-13485073

- heavy gender imbalance
- scarcity of women, leading to higher expectations of a partner (没房没车不要谈 min requirements is owning a house a car)
- rising cost of living
- people aren’t feeling safe enough to have kids
- more career focused women, refusal to be housewives or settle down
- increasingly digital hence lonely world
- increase in incel culture

feels inevitable because i doubt slapping baby incentives will help either

taxing condoms might increase birth rates slightly, but there’ll be more unwanted babies and abortions too

was it inevitable from the start in pursuit of economical growth?

is capitalism suicidal?

what a privilege

Immortality
by Clare Harner

I am not there, I did not die.

question for the channel, if i may, not sure if its fitting, but:

how would you like to be remembered? another pov could be, what would you like for your eulogy to be?

for me, i would like to be remembered as someone that inspires others

hopefully that day comes in the future above all other things

to have loved and be loved

good to ponder about

good observation

my normie female friends are already carrying songmont

i don’t think it stops here

me until recent times

after deciding that i can just do things

mental masturbation and waiting to be ready or for perfection are the pitfalls i had

today i was watching shopping in japan when i overheard a small kid asking his father

*pointing to the display cases of luxury watches*
“arent these just watches?”

“yes,” said dad

“why are they so expensive? they can only tell the time, right?”

“yes,” sighed dad as he continued browsing

“can’t you just look at your phone?”

couldn’t help but laugh because the purity of the child is spot on
