Is this some kind of anti humanity to think that every generation fucks up the earth in their way and increasingly and if that means the humanity ceases to exist that’s okay, because either I won’t be alive by then or if it happens in my time then eventually I die anyway and there’s nothing after that? So that’s fine. I mean let’s try to fix it, if not just fuck it and stop fretting over it. Let’s get done with either way.
Just an aside: the word for “anti-humanity” is “misanthropic”.
Thank you but I didn’t mean that and I am aware of that word. I meant actually “anti humanity” — something that kinda goes against the grain of humanity. Inhuman didn’t cut it either.
Otherwise I’d have said “am I a misanthrope”. No I don’t hate mankind at all and what I mentioned isn’t hating either.
I hope I was able to explain that I did believe that word wouldn’t fit in for what I wanted to say. Maybe some other word? sch………ude isn’t that word either I guess.
It still sounds like misanthropy to me, but whatever you want to call it, I’m cool with it.
It sounds like what you’re getting at is a general sense of disenchantment with humans. Blessed are we that we have the capacity to look forward to our own demise, yet blanket our children with the picric acid of our lack of interest for solving it.
As someone with kids, I have a vested interest in solving humanities existential problems, but also lack the ability to actually do it. It’s bothersome.

I think you may be looking for some sort of Nihilism
