Acharya Prashant addresses concerns regarding old age and dependency, challenging the conventional reliance on children for care. He argues that one should prioritize financial independence and health rather than spending all resources on children. He suggests that in old age, one requires medical care and professional nurses rather than sons, noting that many children living abroad do not return to care for their parents. He advocates for living a rich, fulfilled life and suggests that if one becomes completely debilitated and dependent, it is sensible to accept the end of life rather than dragging it on pathetically. He emphasizes that as long as one is healthy and strong, they should continue to live, but dependency should be avoided. Regarding migration and climate change, Acharya Prashant asserts that the battle against environmental issues must be fought everywhere. He expresses a preference for staying where the problems are most acute, specifically in India, where population growth and carbon emissions are significant concerns. He corrects the notion that India's emissions are low by pointing out that India is the third-largest carbon emitter globally and leads in yearly growth. He critiques the modern definition of progress, explaining that urbanization and increased consumption—such as moving to larger houses or using more air conditioners—directly increase one's carbon footprint. He concludes that it is catastrophic to aspire to the per capita consumption levels of developed nations like the United States or Germany while maintaining a massive population like India's.
