    Even ascribing consciousness into others or ourselves is actually pretty stupid if you think about it.

    Stemming from religion there’s this idea that human “souls” are somehow special and exist on a plane outside reality. But that’s not the case.

    We are just semi-rigid blobs of mostly water that grew into weird shapes.



  • If you see the world that simplistic, maybe you should have refrained from procreating.

    Birth control can fail. Pills can be forgotten or interfere with other medications, IUDs can fall out unnoticed, condoms can break or slip off, etc.

    If you have sex often enough, the chances of having birth control fail at some point creep up to 100%, and if you’re “lucky” that results in a pregnancy, and if the mother either has no access to abortions, or simply doesn’t want one, you have a child.

    Unplanned doesn’t mean unwanted or unloved. Many people in principle would like a child but don’t know if now is the right time and this person is the right partner, but if random chance over, they’ll take that hint and become parents.











  • My great grandma spent the last three years of her life almost immobile from several consecutive strokes, almost blind from several problems she developed over the years, couldn’t smell or taste anything. She was basically dying in slo-mo. Everything failed on her.

    The last months she essentially spent in a constant shit puddle, because here intestines somehow decided not to work properly anymore.

    It’s horrible and inhumane to let people suffer like that. Every diseased stray dog gets more mercy.
