  • You have to decide for yourself whether your efforts are worth it despite no visible effect. You don’t know whether your content may have affected one reader (or many more) who simply didn’t say anything.

    I’ll personally never stop notifying people of tracker-free URLs, for example. The way I look at it is: I don’t care if they actually change or not. What I care about is that I ensure they are without excuse if they don’t change, because I served as the messenger and they heard the word, even if they reject it.

    So at least I will have done my part, so no one can put it back on me and say I didn’t try. Putting the ball in their court is what matters; why would you change your behavior because of what others do/don’t do? That’d be one flimsy philosophy, right?

    Either way, you’re a bad person for bringing another person here.

    you’re *“such a person is” - not me, since I already stated that I’m childfree.

    Still, I don’t understand; you’re experiencing life right now and likely enjoying it enough to chat with strangers online since that’s what you’re doing, right? If life is as horrible as you make it out to be, wouldn’t you instantly KYS without even hesitating? The fact that you don’t suggests that life is worth living or at least trying to tolerate for a better future, right? Are you part of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement?

    I may be childfree but that’s just because I personally can’t stand being tethered to raising a kid and I know that I’d be a bad parent, but we do need a certain minimum number of people for society to not go Children of Men-apocalyptic. There are certain extraordinary people (albeit few, sure) who are able to make life decently good for their kids, and it’s unfair to say they suck just because we had bad parents/circumstances. And if you’re talking about the ecological hellscape that awaits us, there are just as many reports of 12-to-19-year-olds who are making staggering scientific advances, like even solar panels that can get up to 75% efficiency, etc. I just read an article of a 10-year-old who graduated from college. Brilliant minds are being honed, so I’d suggest that you take steps to curb your pessimism and not let it bleed onto others in a blanket, stereotyping way.
