I’m really surprised that anyone even cares about the survival of humanity as a mass. I just stumbled upon a bunch of popular science videos on YouTube, and this theme kept coming up, like, “Oh, it’s so horrifying, the Earth will die, and humans will fly to another planet, and it will be so terrible, temperatures of 100500 degrees, but otherwise we’ll disappear,” and so on. Like… who even cares about this? The vast majority of people either won’t live to see that day or will die when some catastrophe hits. Maybe for some people who have money to spare, this is important, but it’s definitely not for me, and certainly not for my followers. I understand worrying about how to enrich your life and the lives of your loved ones while we’re still alive and together. Or trying to improve the lives of those who are here and now in trouble, and you can actually make a difference. But thinking about humanity as an abstract mass and trying to create cheap drama over it? I don’t get it. Humanity doesn’t hold that much value. It’s just a regular dumpster. Maybe the only meaning lies in love.

I also watched the talk show “Мужское/Женское,” I don’t know what the equivalent is in English, but the point is, people come on with all sorts of problems (family disputes, tragedies, property division, neighbor fights, conflicts with housing authorities, etc.). The vast majority of these people, to put it mildly, are far from the standards of physical and intellectual health. They live in what is practically a slum, eating pasta with cockroaches for snacks. They drink. And yet, they have 5-10 kids. What I don’t understand is that to drive a car, you have to learn and pass a test. To buy a house, you need to work for years. To live in relative comfort, you have to pay taxes. But to create a generation of genetically, socially, pedagogically, and morally abandoned people, you don’t need to do anything. That’s just a basic human right. Sterilization is evil. But poverty, suffering, violence, and alcoholism are cool.
