Recently on Reddit I came across an interesting reasoning.
What do they check in potential parents when they want to adopt a child?
Off the top of my head: money, mental health, education, ability to wait.
What do they check in those who just give birth to a child?
Practically nothing, if it was "conceived", it will most likely be born.
Then I decided to google what's needed specifically in Czech Republic to get a child.
Need to:
- be the right age
- be married
- not have children (and preferably not be able to)
- preferably not have health problems
The process usually takes 3-5 years, meaning you also need to be patient and stable.
Yet adequate families with their own children are few. If it were the other way around, the world wouldn't know words like "abuser", "harassment" and other shit.
And then I realized our whole world consists of this.
We don't like bureaucracy, but quite often it's precisely bureaucracy, solid processes and discipline that turn monkeys into humans.
Imagine how cool it would be if every pregnant couple had to take a young parents course, every future spouse would go through a month-long course on what financial planning is, and every future driver had to listen to how his fucking horn sounds from outside the car so he'd fucking stop pressing it in the city.
Bureaucracy is one of the most awesome inventions of humanity, and the dumber a person is, the harder it is for them to agree with this.
