people have sex to make children

Yes, this is why sex exists.

humans are very social animals

Which is why marriage as an institution has been fundamental to every major civilization since prehistory.

We have also re-purposed our sexuality as a form of communication

We have done nothing new or innovative. It’s all been done before.

that is why it is an important part of human life

I never said it wasn’t.

Then why would you wait till after marriage?

Because you do all those things with someone you’ve come to know and love without sex involved. You’ve made a lifelong commitment to each other out of love and appreciation for each other without being distracted or swayed. This commitment to each other and to purity means a loyal and healthy partner you can enjoy and raise children with. In the end, because I’m sure this is what you care most about, the sex will be better too.

Saving you trouble in the long run. Get married and then have sex.

Humans have lived in multi-generational homes forever. Moving out at 18 or right after college is a 20th century psyop. It doesn’t make sense unless you’re getting married.

No problem 👍

‘Respectable’, ‘horrible’ and ‘bleak’ are meaningless terms with your worldview.

It’s your lineage too. Having kids is an incredible blessing although nihilism would have you believe otherwise. There is beauty in the world and it’s worth the struggle.

Is this the same society made up of people self-selecting themselves out of the next generation? If so who cares?

There’s no reasonable discussion to be had here.

Being incarcerated doesn’t preclude someone from being president

If you are doing any serious distance and/or are older there is a noticeable difference in comfort and efficiency over $1k. I rode shitty bikes my entire life. When I hopped on a $1500 bike I couldn’t believe how much faster I could go and how comfortable it was. The transfer of energy into forward motion was wild. That being said I bought my bike for $100 off of Craigslist 10 years ago.

This is more a problem of where you live.

The overwhelming majority of people are too lazy and uninterested in learning to manage a garden

Looking forward to making up the difference for everyone that decided against kids.

The investigations were politically motivated and actually helped him get elected.

Based

Hurdur. Name a period in time where people weren’t ruled. Either in a tribe or in an empire there is a leader or group of leaders in charge. There has never been a time when that isn’t the case. People naturally create governing hierarchies.

It didn’t. Someone is always in charge.

Until you somehow “deal” with the billionaires. Then you’ll all kill each other.

What’s your point?
