Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Not having kids because of climate change is stupid. You are leaving the world in the hands of people who care less than you.

      But the leading cause of climate change is overpopulation.

      There were 3 billion humans on this planet in 1960. There are 8 billion humans right now. And all those humans are producing waste, using energy, etc.

      Even if we reduce the per-capita ecological footprint, we’re outbreeding the gains we make.

      This would only make sense if morality, or caring for others was somehow genetic AND unalterable. My parents aren’t bad, per se, but most of my moral and philosophical growth came from other people. Be it teachers, random people, philosophers, or Breadtube.
