I work with adult men in their 40’s and 50’s that dont have children.
These men are average looking, normally dressed, make a decent income, drive a normal car. Are they mentally ill? I cant grasp what drives a 52-year old childless man to wake up and go about his day knowing he has no legacy, no children to care for, be proud of, no real cross to carry. What compels a childless man to wake up when he knows he’s a genetic dead-end?
Grown men today would rather live meaningless lives on the internet instead of actually living in the real world. What effect will this lost time have once realization sets in that they are never going to get it back? Sitting behind a screen indoors all day hyperdependent on others is not being a renegade and refusing to play the game. You will never procreate which is the whole biological point of life and no amount of “I’m not breeding more cattle for them” will rationalize this.
Why not work and buy a piece of land do the homestead thing? So many fantasize about this but never do anything because they are stuck in your mental trap of inactivity, zero ambition, helplessness and hopelessness. Life can be sweet and you can get a bit of the good life, however you definitely it, it just requires some effort and risk. But I know you’ve already convinced yourself of the moral and ethical superiority of sitting behind a screen like a slug 16 hours a day consuming social media. So many of you rail against the system but are all hooked on psychiatric meds.
Videogames, cartoons, and toys are not replacements for a life of purpose, meaningful work, and loving wife and children. Ersatz living through video games, parasocial relationships online, mindless pixel distractions etc is hell. You are just killing time and when you’re 40 you’ll look back at your wasted youth with shame and dread. The amount of time of being a NEET could’ve been you saving and investing all your money for 10-15 even 20 years.
Thoughts?
