Exactly. People don’t need to reproduce if they can’t take it seriously. Creating and raising another human is no joke. It’s hard as hell and if people really don’t want children, they should take precautions and make sure not to get pregnant. There are too many children who don’t have parents that love them. Plenty of adults have grown up without real parents as well.
as someone who lives in chicago, whenever my city is brought up in a debate about gun control it makes me livid. you can drive to indiana and get guns with ease and drive them back to chicago. it’s that simple. when the argument against school shootings is “what about chicago” it breaks my heart. chicago’s gun violence stems from gang violence which is a direct result of financial inequality. the police purposefully avoid areas of gang violence and let people kill each other. chicago’s gang violence is a serious and heartbreaking issue. that tiktoker is a disgusting individual. i love my city. gun control in our surrounding states would make a huge impact.
Yeah my thoughts on that part were more that the cause and effect is the opposite of what the dude was trying to claim. There are harsher gun laws because of the elevated amount of violence, not the other way around. I live in GA and in ATL there are a lot of shootings but small scale like someone gets into an altercation and shoots that 1 person, not mass shootings, but it still makes Lenox Mall sort of infamous. The other day my dad asked if I was comfortable driving his car with his gun in it and I said “as long as I don’t get pulled over” to which he informed me I don’t need a single form of approval besides simply being over 18 to have a gun in GA. Brian Kemp recently eliminated the requirement for a permit to carry a handgun, so anyone who hasn’t been convicted of a felony YET can take a gun almost anywhere. It’s sort of normal now up in the mountains to see an old man with a gun attached to his waistband wherever, in a Walmart, outlet mall, restaurant, etc. Who knows if he’s crazy or not cause he sure as hell wouldn’t go to a doctor and find out in these parts.

@@kab9706 that’s actually true statistically! 50% of pregnancies in the US are unplanned. I was shocked to learn that in my college health concepts class
My only advice for taking your driving test: wear dangly earrings so the instructor can see you when you’re turning your head to check your surroundings. That’s something people often do really subtly and get marked down easy points for not doing- hence the dangly jangly earrings 👍🏽
As someone who wants kids themselves, good for you for making the conscious decision to not have them. I think our generation is really embracing only having kids if you want them, and if you don’t, don’t. Whereas before, it seemed like having them was just the default.
I think the reason people get defensive about people saying they hate kids is because a lot of us grew up around people who hated us and it’s really traumatizing. As long as you don’t treat them like shit in front of them there’s nothing wrong with just disliking them or being around them. Tara mooknee just made a really good video about it
@@jifij89 yes, I absolutely love kids, I studied childhood development in college. It’s very valuable for everyone but especially people who work with children. Childcare is not for everyone because you have be incredibly patient and constantly remind yourself of their current developmental state and how much your interactions contribute directly to their brain development and future mental health problems or skills. Which is why pressuring people to have kids is so bad, most people don’t deserve kids who have them so I respect people who know that they don’t want them and stick to it so much. I know people who have had kids from social pressure and it’s really heartbreaking seeing how she treats her kids, she’s not directly abusive but every time I see her interact with him I KNOW exactly what kind of problems he’s going to have within his interpersonal relationships as an adult. I understand why being with/having kids is not something everyone can do but giving future adults the respect of human decency is all I ask of people. Which I’m not saying Kurtis does btw I’m sure he treats them ok and is just on the general dislike side of things
@@jifij89 my sister hates kids, like HATES kids, and loves my child but only in the very vaguest and most basic “I tolerate you at a distance” way. Which I can accept because it’s a small human that was added to her life involuntarily.
not everyone has the patience to be around kids and patience for the things kids do. that’s my problem. i think my friend’s little guy is great! but interacting with most children that come into the store i work at drives me nuts lol. but saying “i don’t like kids” is just easier 😅
Hot take: I love my cat because he is an asshole. He's so grumpy and cute, he's not malicious or randomly violent, just don't touch his stomach or pet him anywhere but his head. Animals are like people, some are great and some suck.
@Quiznak! I've heard this, yes. But anecdotally, my sister has a cat and my mom has two and those three love belly rubs and being patted a lot. So I can say 75% of the cats I know love belly rubs lol.
@@harshdeep8835 afraid to ask what you mean, as this is a joke that went over my head, which is fine, or it's one of the worst takes I've personally seen on the internet in awhile.
Kirtis saying he failed the written driving test makes me so happy because I failed it and I'm really ashamed of it. That part was considered the "easy" portion. I left the dmv crying and didn't grab any of my papers or anything I had there. We didn't realize that and had to take the 3 hour drive back to the dmv. And before I took the test my dad forgot them at home so we drove so much that day. 😭 kirtis made me feel so relieved and I feel less ashamed now.
I failed it the first time too! It felt really embarrassing and my dad made me study a bunch for the next time. I think it happens more often than people think
As an adoptee (black and adopted into a white family), I want my own kids someday for many reasons, but partially to know what its like to have a relative who looks like you. I’m the only black person in my family. I wish I could relate to my friends who look like their siblings or parents, I’ll never know what that’s like.
@@atrapforfools this is so interesting. i think its important for ur family to be supportive and understand why! the first step of understanding your adopted kid is that love will never be enough to fill that gap of not having a relative who looks like u. but thats ok! love is enough to create a strong bond regardless. thats my take
@UC4jnxcNN3GOXBRdsmcrsJnQ That’s not really the point. Obviously any child I have will not be exactly like me. But I have no genetic mirroring with anyone I know and I have lived my entire life as the only black person in my family - having biological children means I will at least not be a minority in my own home. But thanks for your input.
@@jordan-my2vl Thank you! Unfortunately in my case my adoptive family was not supportive at all. As an adult we are very minimal contact and will probably never be close. Some adoptions are a success, mine was not.
Kurt you childfree king! I told my whole family that I didn't want kids when I was a kid myself. And over my lifetime I realized why. At the end of the day, I value my peace, my body, order, and my freedom. I've got many more reasons but that's what it boils down to.
Same. It’s annoying my family keeps talking like, “when you’re older and have your own kids” and when I tell them, I won’t have, they like “you don’t know, you’re too young to decide” but a girl getting pregnant at 19 isn’t too young to decide she do wants kids
@@badpiggies4926 meeee toooo like im almost 17, my sister just turned 23. we both DO NOT want kids. and whenever relatives say 'oh thats what everyone thinks' or 'im glad you dont want them yet, youre too young' its like................... 🤔. 🤔. 🤔.
people who don’t want kids really try to justify it whilst insisting they don’t need to justify it. like it’s ok to not want kids it doesn’t have to be about your peace and your power or whatever
@@mtlewis973 I dont understand how someone just explaining why they'd prefer to be without child in a society where the majority of people are still expected to have kids is somehow a desperate "justification". Its just offering another perspective. Maybe it might sound a little corny these days with the peace freedom stuff but I truly dont understand whats so wrong with OPs comment :/ Everyone has their reasons for things, I wouldnt have a problem with a father or mother for saying typical stuff like "I fulfilled my purpose" "I finally feel complete" "I feel powerful" after having kids. If you relate, you relate. If you dont, who cares
@@shpup i’m just saying they’re insisting they don’t need to justify not having kids whilst offering a justification for it. so they clearly do think it needs to be justified (i don’t think it does)
As a child haver, you can 100% hangout with a baby, ESPECIALLY if you’re introvert. My wife and I feel social again, and he does nothing but encourage us! He laughs at all our jokes, he super passive and chill, we watch all the same movies, he’s just chill.
The trichotillomania advice/pep talk segment was so nice to hear. I struggle with it a lot too (mine is typically smaller hairs rather than head hairs tho I have in the past) and it's a lot for me. But I'm very happy for that person. Even small lengths of being clean are so wonderful and should be celebrated 🥰 much love to that person and I hope they continue to do well. 💜💜💜 /gen
I have dermatillomania! Sometimes I'm doing so well, and then I get the teeniest bit stressed and go nuts on my skin. The little victories are what matter ❤
the argument against the "chicago has high gun crime and strict laws" is that its surrounded by states with incredibly loose laws, indiana and wisconsin(kyle rittenhouse got a gun underage here through a friend).
As a zoologist, every time someone says “Why are there still monkeys?” as an argument tells me a GREAT deal about how much they actually know about evolution. The primates we evolved from are no longer around, because those populations either evolved into something different or went extinct. The apes that are around besides humans today are not “what we came from,” they are more like distant relatives! We just have a common ancestor. The idea that monkeys sort of “leveled up” into a human is called orthogenic evolution, and it’s a misconception that results from a poor understanding or a poor education in the topic. Typically evolution has just been misrepresented to the individual in question so they didn’t have a fair shot at actually understanding how the process works. Evolution is not a perfectionist that’s always trying to make something more complex or smarter - it is a tinkerer, that adapts populations of organisms to their current environment. If you are looking for resources to understand evolution, check out Forrest Valkai, the Renegade Science Teacher! He’s a fantastic educator and he’s incredibly passionate, his enthusiasm is always contagious.
Oh my goodness! I also have trichotillomania and if you’re the person with trich who emailed Kurtis or you’re someone else with trich, just know I’m so proud of you, no matter how far you are in your recovery journey. It can be so hard to stop pulling. I have gotten so much better and have a full head of hair again but even I still pull a hair or 2 out every week or so. Don’t think you’re a failure every time you pull, instead think of how far you’ve come whenever you can hold off an urge!
hi that was me! thank u for taking the time to comment and uplift my own progress and others. im 36 days clean as of right now ! sending my luv to you and wish luck to everyone else out there who needs the support!
It’s kinda ironic because many of the best people who would be the best parents don’t want kids. You’d be such a good dad but you don’t want them and that’s awesome too.
at some point I've realized that if I hate a child, I actually hate their parents. Children literally just try to exist in this random world and most adults treat them like they're supposed to know everything already. THEY DON'T KNOW SHIT, that's what parents are for, teaching them. And most parents absolutely suck and only traumatize their children. Idc if they're "doing their best". Some people shouldn't have children and it's clear the ones preaching for having babies are the ones who are selfish and never stopped to think about the consequences. To them, they're doing a good work because it was how their parents raised them. Yay generational trauma. That's why I won't have children but I will try to help as many as possible to stop that generational trauma. And that's way more than most of those baby-crazy people will ever do.
Same. I want all children to have safe, happy, and healthy and loving homes and families. I want all kids to be taken care of, to have equal access to education and other resources, etc. But I HATE kids and babies. Having kids of my own and even being around children children are my worst nightmares.
@@neutral.chaotic i actively have nightmares of childbirth, I know that’s literally insane but I’ve been through a lot of trauma. Everyone in the comments saying ItS a ReD FlaG 😂 fuck them kids I don’t think they are concerned for the well being of children I think they are upset people are not fitting to this rigid societal construct like they do, or have been conditioned to do. You shouldn’t have to be “brave” to state you don’t like/want kids. It’s crazy, but it’s getting better.
Some people may chose to have children for selfish reasons but parenting requires a lot of self sacrifice. Choosing not to have kids can be for selfish reasons too, for example I want to focus on my career instead. I don’t think “selfishness” is the end all be all. Best to let people make their own life choices!
literally was trying to listen to this podcast in the gym the other day and had to turn it off cuz i didn't want to look like an actual Crazy person laughing out loud while walking on the treadmill
the tiktok guy is so funny to me because he couldn’t even be bothered to do one single google search about anything before going to a walmart and shoving a mic in people’s faces
i have covid and have been watching Kurtis and listening to the pod the whole time so when i saw a new one it made me so extremely excited lol thanks Kurtis
I’m losing my mind that he doesn’t believe in evolution and his only concession that IF evolution exists, it is exclusively linear. It’s not like there’s an “end goal” to evolution like bro what
As a woman who’s family has been telling all my life to have kids and now im 23 with no kids and never will plan to have one, I too like hanging out too much. I feel seen.
My dad always begs me to change my mind about having kids (I’m 15 btw) because he really likes kids and I really don’t. It’s nice to hear that other people have this issue 😭
You're too young to be pressured this way.. your dad is caring more about what he wants from you, a teen, than what he oughta do for you, as a parent. fucking hell...
I work in a daycare and I love kids but Kurtis is actually spot on with a lot of this lol. Most parents I interact with are parents for the weirdest reasons. They talk about their kids like they're cute little things to collect and display for other people. They love them while they're babies and then just kind of check out and it's really sad to see. The older I get, the more I think the world just isn't conducive to me ever having my own. And that's coming from someone who grew up really wanting to be a mom.
7:15 W KURTIS THANK YOU 31:45 really pissed me off how he kept talking over them and pulling the mic away while they were still talking, that's not how a debate works
I’ve seen other people leave similar comments but I’ll say it too. People need to stop pressuring people who are uninterested in having kids to have kids. That’s how you get awful parent-child dynamics and people resenting the hell out of their own families.
This is easily one the best podcast episodes I've ever heard; Every single point you made is so true and relatable. 10/10, brilliant way to start the year, keep it up 👍
The most famous early “in-betweener” with apes and humans that the person forgot the name of is Australopithecus. The earliest A. fossil is named Lucy, found in Ethiopia. She died 3.2 million years ago. A more recent divergent ancestor are Neanderthals. They were heavier, denser, and had thicker skulls than us and went extinct about 40,000 years ago. However, some Neanderthals bred with Homo Sapiens, so there are still traceable amounts of Neanderthal genes today.
Okay I was listening to this on Spotify and when he mentioned the cat thing I rushed here to talk about some INSANE takes I saw about him on tiktok. After the cat video came out I saw people LEGIT using him joking about cats sucking to justify their "bad vibes" and being like "omg I always had a bad feeling about this guy, he's totally one of those youtubers who are secretly a bad person, like the stuff he talks about in his videos?? So sketchy, this is proof" and I was sitting there stunned like.. The topics in his videos?? Like, using his platform to dunk on and warn people about shitty racists and misogynists and bigots, and advocate for human rights? His videos where he's pro-choice, pro sex work, pro lgbt rights, the list goes on? Like.. It reminded me of his video about getting cancelled and how people were hoping and looking for reasons to cancel him just because they don't like him? Fuck, man. People need to realize that you're allowed to not like someone without reason. You don't need to wish harm on others to justify disliking someone. Because that's what it is, looking for dirt and proof that someone's done something wrong-- you're looking for proof that they hurt people and you want to weaponize someone else's pain. Idk its weird man Also some cats are assholes I agree
no the cat people are correct cuz why do dogs get to hurt people, bite people, jump all over you, and be annoying but when cats just are quiet and keep to themselves they get hated like crazy :/ like why is it normalized to hate cats so much - its so true that people who claim all cats are mean just don't understand consent because cats give plenty of warnings when they don't want to be pet they don't just attack you
as a cat person who’s had them for my whole life i agree with you. my cat is awful to everyone besides people she knows really well and purposely does things to make me mad 😭
There's a difference between not wanting to be around kids or enjoy them and going out of your way to shit on and resent kids which is where the red flag comes in. I've met people who revel in being shitty to children and make it a personality. At the same time I understand wanting to push back against the assumption that everyone should want kids.
People havent been taking me seriously for the past 17 years every time i spoke about my reasons for not wanting to ever have children. Lets see them try to respond to "i like to hang out too much". Its GENIUS!
as a child, i grew up with an extremely abusive stepfather. one of my clearest memories is him chasing little 7/8yo me out of the house with a shotgun. it doesn't matter if it wasn't loaded. in fact, his carelessness with his guns is part of what led him and my mom to lose custody, because he kept them out in the open. he can right now go purchase a gun if he wanted to. but no, regulating weapons is preposterous.
i also deal with trichotillomania & had to shave my hair off 8 months ago. i had a giant bald spot on the back of my head & i struggled to cover it up. hair pulling can be painful & embarrassing. my hair has been growing out & although i have definitely had the urge, i have not pulled at it since it was shaved. although i feel for the person who is also struggling with this, it's nice to hear someone else's story. much love & support to that person ❤
i was hoping to reach others who struggle by sending my submission bc i was sure i wasnt the only one to needed the motivation! sending love and best wishes to u as we both grow our hair out and make progress
I think what people mean when they say it’s a red flag not to like kids is that obviously kids depend on adults so much for care and safety and so obviously if you don’t like someone it’s unlikely that you’ll treat them well and look out for their safety. I don’t think it’s so literal, but also so many people do treat kids so badly unfortunately
this is the best episode i could've picked to watch with my cat on my lap lmao she's still a big fan of the pod she heard me playing it and jumped up to watch
"shut up, go make a sim" is my favorite take on having kids lmao
i was literally playing the sims when he said that
As a parent, the best advice I can give is don't have kids if you don't want them. They are not something to be on the fence about or something to cave to peer pressure about either.

Right XD That's the power we get. Once you have that kid there's no going back. It's weird how hostile some people get when you say you don't want kids, maybe they're jealous of the freedom. 🤷
Humans are not descended from monkeys. Humans and monkeys share a common ancestor. That’s been confirmed and taught for decades, so all he did was prove that he didn’t pay attention to school.
thats the thing- its literally something you get taught in like grade 11 history....
Having a kid just to have a kid is a RED FLAG!!!!

My only advice for taking your driving test: wear dangly earrings so the instructor can see you when you’re turning your head to check your surroundings. That’s something people often do really subtly and get marked down easy points for not doing- hence the dangly jangly earrings 👍🏽

That's such a good idea omg thank you
Too late for me but great idea!

I heard once 'you don't have to like children to care for them' and I think that pretty much sums it up.

As someone who wants kids themselves, good for you for making the conscious decision to not have them. I think our generation is really embracing only having kids if you want them, and if you don’t, don’t. Whereas before, it seemed like having them was just the default.
1:39 I was CONVINCED he said “tortoise people” so confused when he started talking about horoscopes 😭
@@soxxit5160THAT WAS MY SECOND THOUGHT 😭
@Soxxit ME TOO
I think the reason people get defensive about people saying they hate kids is because a lot of us grew up around people who hated us and it’s really traumatizing. As long as you don’t treat them like shit in front of them there’s nothing wrong with just disliking them or being around them. Tara mooknee just made a really good video about it
for sure, this is part of why i get defensive tbh. also i think of my niece, and i can’t imagine anyone hating her so it makes me sad lol
@@jifij89 yes, I absolutely love kids, I studied childhood development in college. It’s very valuable for everyone but especially people who work with children. Childcare is not for everyone because you have be incredibly patient and constantly remind yourself of their current developmental state and how much your interactions contribute directly to their brain development and future mental health problems or skills. Which is why pressuring people to have kids is so bad, most people don’t deserve kids who have them so I respect people who know that they don’t want them and stick to it so much. I know people who have had kids from social pressure and it’s really heartbreaking seeing how she treats her kids, she’s not directly abusive but every time I see her interact with him I KNOW exactly what kind of problems he’s going to have within his interpersonal relationships as an adult. I understand why being with/having kids is not something everyone can do but giving future adults the respect of human decency is all I ask of people. Which I’m not saying Kurtis does btw I’m sure he treats them ok and is just on the general dislike side of things
@@jifij89 my sister hates kids, like HATES kids, and loves my child but only in the very vaguest and most basic “I tolerate you at a distance” way. Which I can accept because it’s a small human that was added to her life involuntarily.
THIS!
not everyone has the patience to be around kids and patience for the things kids do. that’s my problem. i think my friend’s little guy is great! but interacting with most children that come into the store i work at drives me nuts lol. but saying “i don’t like kids” is just easier 😅
Hot take: I love my cat because he is an asshole. He's so grumpy and cute, he's not malicious or randomly violent, just don't touch his stomach or pet him anywhere but his head. Animals are like people, some are great and some suck.

My cat embodied my personality
@Quiznak! I've heard this, yes. But anecdotally, my sister has a cat and my mom has two and those three love belly rubs and being patted a lot. So I can say 75% of the cats I know love belly rubs lol.

Kirtis saying he failed the written driving test makes me so happy because I failed it and I'm really ashamed of it. That part was considered the "easy" portion. I left the dmv crying and didn't grab any of my papers or anything I had there. We didn't realize that and had to take the 3 hour drive back to the dmv. And before I took the test my dad forgot them at home so we drove so much that day. 😭 kirtis made me feel so relieved and I feel less ashamed now.
i passed the written portion by 1 point its really ok🖤🖤
I failed it the first time too! It felt really embarrassing and my dad made me study a bunch for the next time. I think it happens more often than people think
i’m taking it in less than a month hopefully i can pass first time 😬

As an adoptee (black and adopted into a white family), I want my own kids someday for many reasons, but partially to know what its like to have a relative who looks like you. I’m the only black person in my family. I wish I could relate to my friends who look like their siblings or parents, I’ll never know what that’s like.
I know Kurtis was joking btw just wanted to offer a diff perspective!
@@atrapforfools this is so interesting. i think its important for ur family to be supportive and understand why! the first step of understanding your adopted kid is that love will never be enough to fill that gap of not having a relative who looks like u. but thats ok! love is enough to create a strong bond regardless. thats my take
@UC4jnxcNN3GOXBRdsmcrsJnQ That’s not really the point. Obviously any child I have will not be exactly like me. But I have no genetic mirroring with anyone I know and I have lived my entire life as the only black person in my family - having biological children means I will at least not be a minority in my own home. But thanks for your input.
@@jordan-my2vl Thank you! Unfortunately in my case my adoptive family was not supportive at all. As an adult we are very minimal contact and will probably never be close. Some adoptions are a success, mine was not.
Hope you can have that family and raise it well! Good luck to you
Kurt you childfree king! I told my whole family that I didn't want kids when I was a kid myself. And over my lifetime I realized why. At the end of the day, I value my peace, my body, order, and my freedom. I've got many more reasons but that's what it boils down to.
Same. It’s annoying my family keeps talking like, “when you’re older and have your own kids” and when I tell them, I won’t have, they like “you don’t know, you’re too young to decide” but a girl getting pregnant at 19 isn’t too young to decide she do wants kids
@@badpiggies4926 meeee toooo like im almost 17, my sister just turned 23. we both DO NOT want kids. and whenever relatives say 'oh thats what everyone thinks' or 'im glad you dont want them yet, youre too young' its like................... 🤔. 🤔. 🤔.
people who don’t want kids really try to justify it whilst insisting they don’t need to justify it. like it’s ok to not want kids it doesn’t have to be about your peace and your power or whatever
@@mtlewis973 I dont understand how someone just explaining why they'd prefer to be without child in a society where the majority of people are still expected to have kids is somehow a desperate "justification". Its just offering another perspective. Maybe it might sound a little corny these days with the peace freedom stuff but I truly dont understand whats so wrong with OPs comment :/ Everyone has their reasons for things, I wouldnt have a problem with a father or mother for saying typical stuff like "I fulfilled my purpose" "I finally feel complete" "I feel powerful" after having kids. If you relate, you relate. If you dont, who cares

“If only I had my Fushigi” LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this is the best video I’ve ever watched. Prepare to be my comfort video for at least a couple of weeks
the argument against the "chicago has high gun crime and strict laws" is that its surrounded by states with incredibly loose laws, indiana and wisconsin(kyle rittenhouse got a gun underage here through a friend).
danny listening to this with tears streaming down his face
As a zoologist, every time someone says “Why are there still monkeys?” as an argument tells me a GREAT deal about how much they actually know about evolution. The primates we evolved from are no longer around, because those populations either evolved into something different or went extinct. The apes that are around besides humans today are not “what we came from,” they are more like distant relatives! We just have a common ancestor. The idea that monkeys sort of “leveled up” into a human is called orthogenic evolution, and it’s a misconception that results from a poor understanding or a poor education in the topic. Typically evolution has just been misrepresented to the individual in question so they didn’t have a fair shot at actually understanding how the process works. Evolution is not a perfectionist that’s always trying to make something more complex or smarter - it is a tinkerer, that adapts populations of organisms to their current environment.
If you are looking for resources to understand evolution, check out Forrest Valkai, the Renegade Science Teacher! He’s a fantastic educator and he’s incredibly passionate, his enthusiasm is always contagious.
Exactly, we evolved from a TYPE of primate but we didn't fuckin' evolve from chimpanzees
Oh my goodness! I also have trichotillomania and if you’re the person with trich who emailed Kurtis or you’re someone else with trich, just know I’m so proud of you, no matter how far you are in your recovery journey. It can be so hard to stop pulling. I have gotten so much better and have a full head of hair again but even I still pull a hair or 2 out every week or so. Don’t think you’re a failure every time you pull, instead think of how far you’ve come whenever you can hold off an urge!
hi that was me! thank u for taking the time to comment and uplift my own progress and others. im 36 days clean as of right now ! sending my luv to you and wish luck to everyone else out there who needs the support!
I've never said "Thaaank you" more times in my life than during the "having a baby" segment.
It’s kinda ironic because many of the best people who would be the best parents don’t want kids. You’d be such a good dad but you don’t want them and that’s awesome too.
I think it ties in like that because having kids is a selfish choice (no hate to people who have kids, I'm not saying they're bad people at all)
Duuuuude felt the having baby segment. Thank you for that made me feel good. being a 27 year old women I never had the urge to have kids idc.
at some point I've realized that if I hate a child, I actually hate their parents. Children literally just try to exist in this random world and most adults treat them like they're supposed to know everything already. THEY DON'T KNOW SHIT, that's what parents are for, teaching them. And most parents absolutely suck and only traumatize their children. Idc if they're "doing their best". Some people shouldn't have children and it's clear the ones preaching for having babies are the ones who are selfish and never stopped to think about the consequences. To them, they're doing a good work because it was how their parents raised them. Yay generational trauma.
That's why I won't have children but I will try to help as many as possible to stop that generational trauma. And that's way more than most of those baby-crazy people will ever do.
Perfect comment!!!!!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
yes this
Dude Kurtis, thank you. I hate kids. And I’m sick of getting shit for it. I’m not actively mean to them, I just avoid them, jeez.
Same. I want all children to have safe, happy, and healthy and loving homes and families. I want all kids to be taken care of, to have equal access to education and other resources, etc. But I HATE kids and babies. Having kids of my own and even being around children children are my worst nightmares.
@@neutral.chaotic i actively have nightmares of childbirth, I know that’s literally insane but I’ve been through a lot of trauma. Everyone in the comments saying ItS a ReD FlaG 😂 fuck them kids
I don’t think they are concerned for the well being of children I think they are upset people are not fitting to this rigid societal construct like they do, or have been conditioned to do. You shouldn’t have to be “brave” to state you don’t like/want kids. It’s crazy, but it’s getting better.
this whole baby rant has me cacklin, kurtis😂😂 honestly same tho
6:53 I’m watching this after Danny and Laura’s announcement and I’m dying
I JUST told my parents that I think having children is the ultimate selfish choice to make…. They have 7 kids
yeah uhm. i wouldnt enjoy having a sibling if i had 6 bru😭😭
Some people may chose to have children for selfish reasons but parenting requires a lot of self sacrifice. Choosing not to have kids can be for selfish reasons too, for example I want to focus on my career instead. I don’t think “selfishness” is the end all be all. Best to let people make their own life choices!
why tf do they need 7
The last time I was this early, Kurtis's tour bus hadn't even burned down yet

I work in a daycare and I love kids but Kurtis is actually spot on with a lot of this lol. Most parents I interact with are parents for the weirdest reasons. They talk about their kids like they're cute little things to collect and display for other people. They love them while they're babies and then just kind of check out and it's really sad to see. The older I get, the more I think the world just isn't conducive to me ever having my own. And that's coming from someone who grew up really wanting to be a mom.

So funny to be listening to this episode now that Danny has a kid
I’ve seen other people leave similar comments but I’ll say it too. People need to stop pressuring people who are uninterested in having kids to have kids. That’s how you get awful parent-child dynamics and people resenting the hell out of their own families.
Every time someone's argument starts with "Think about it", a little piece of me dies.

The most famous early “in-betweener” with apes and humans that the person forgot the name of is Australopithecus. The earliest A. fossil is named Lucy, found in Ethiopia. She died 3.2 million years ago.
A more recent divergent ancestor are Neanderthals. They were heavier, denser, and had thicker skulls than us and went extinct about 40,000 years ago. However, some Neanderthals bred with Homo Sapiens, so there are still traceable amounts of Neanderthal genes today.

Okay I was listening to this on Spotify and when he mentioned the cat thing I rushed here to talk about some INSANE takes I saw about him on tiktok. After the cat video came out I saw people LEGIT using him joking about cats sucking to justify their "bad vibes" and being like "omg I always had a bad feeling about this guy, he's totally one of those youtubers who are secretly a bad person, like the stuff he talks about in his videos?? So sketchy, this is proof" and I was sitting there stunned like.. The topics in his videos?? Like, using his platform to dunk on and warn people about shitty racists and misogynists and bigots, and advocate for human rights? His videos where he's pro-choice, pro sex work, pro lgbt rights, the list goes on? Like.. It reminded me of his video about getting cancelled and how people were hoping and looking for reasons to cancel him just because they don't like him? Fuck, man. People need to realize that you're allowed to not like someone without reason. You don't need to wish harm on others to justify disliking someone. Because that's what it is, looking for dirt and proof that someone's done something wrong-- you're looking for proof that they hurt people and you want to weaponize someone else's pain. Idk its weird man
Also some cats are assholes I agree
THANK YOUU
1:39 Straight up thought he was saying "tourists" 😭
no the cat people are correct cuz why do dogs get to hurt people, bite people, jump all over you, and be annoying but when cats just are quiet and keep to themselves they get hated like crazy :/ like why is it normalized to hate cats so much - its so true that people who claim all cats are mean just don't understand consent because cats give plenty of warnings when they don't want to be pet they don't just attack you
7:57 Danny watching this: 👁️👄👁️

There's a difference between not wanting to be around kids or enjoy them and going out of your way to shit on and resent kids which is where the red flag comes in. I've met people who revel in being shitty to children and make it a personality. At the same time I understand wanting to push back against the assumption that everyone should want kids.
People havent been taking me seriously for the past 17 years every time i spoke about my reasons for not wanting to ever have children.
Lets see them try to respond to "i like to hang out too much".
Its GENIUS!
as a child, i grew up with an extremely abusive stepfather. one of my clearest memories is him chasing little 7/8yo me out of the house with a shotgun. it doesn't matter if it wasn't loaded. in fact, his carelessness with his guns is part of what led him and my mom to lose custody, because he kept them out in the open. he can right now go purchase a gun if he wanted to.
but no, regulating weapons is preposterous.
Poor Danny he can never see Kurtis again

I think what people mean when they say it’s a red flag not to like kids is that obviously kids depend on adults so much for care and safety and so obviously if you don’t like someone it’s unlikely that you’ll treat them well and look out for their safety. I don’t think it’s so literal, but also so many people do treat kids so badly unfortunately
