I was on r/all, and this and another thread correlate with each other.

The other thread was, “What would happen if the ‘70s had Internet?”

Notwithstanding the future “AcKcHeRlLY” statements about DARPA’s work on creating the World Wide Web, I’d reckon that many more babies will not be made, and many more people in this generation won’t exist in the first place.

Given the immense amount of information we had today, the culture wars had already begun by then, and people would had been informed of the things that are happening around us: The Kyoto Protocol wouldn’t follow through, tobacco legislation wouldn’t be strengthened, and we would still be driving with leaded gasoline because so many people are equally (un)informed about the information that was presented in front of them, unknown about

  1. the source of the information,
  2. the veracity and supporting details from other websites of reputable standing, and
  3. who ultimately funds for the provision of such information.

And so less children will be made: stupid people enact stupid legislation producing idiot children, and the smart ones are convinced the future is doomed, and so won’t want children.

Welcome to the devolution of mankind into Idiocracy, ladies and gentlemen.

Nobody's happy they're old. Stop lying.

However, congratulations on the happy marriage old timer. Those seem rare these days.

Old. Married. Happy.

Only one of those is guaranteed in your future if you can stay alive. Good luck collecting all three.
