Acharya Prashant states that what he is about to say will be piercing, but at this time, there is no act more inauspicious on Earth than giving birth to a child. If even one more child is born, it is a matter for mourning. He asserts that we are both foolish and cruel, and this is a fatal combination when foolishness meets cruelty. We fail to understand this. He explains that the current global population of 8 billion should ideally be 2 billion. However, even 2 billion people would be too many and would consume the Earth if their desire for indulgence is as great as it is today. What is needed is not just 2 billion people, but 2 billion sorted-out men and women. He criticizes the blind pursuit of development, citing China's example, which contributes 30% of the world's carbon emissions and is still increasing them. India is not far behind, contributing 8%. This is driven by a competitive desire for consumption, like wanting to eat sweets just because a neighbor is. To alleviate their moral guilt, people engage in token acts like reducing plastic consumption, feeding dogs, or planting trees. However, Acharya Prashant argues that 80% of the atrocity committed against the Earth, nature, and animals is a direct result of having children. All other factors, like plastic use, car emissions, and electricity consumption, constitute the remaining 20%. Therefore, making small reductions in this 20% does little to lessen the overall sin. He calls out the hypocrisy of "environmentally conscious" people who do these small things while ignoring the primary issue. He says that the incident is not the result of an individual's cruelty but of an entire system, a civilization. The speaker concludes that the problem stems from a philosophy of life that prioritizes pleasure and enjoyment. The two main culprits are the tendency to have children and the tendency to consume, which are interconnected. A newborn child, he explains, requires resources that lead to the destruction of habitats, causing the death of millions of animals and the extinction of species. The most effective action is to not have children. He suggests that if one must, they should have only one. Anything more is a great sin.
