My parents always act surprised when I tell them I don’t think I’d want to have children… Maybe I’m being negative, but if I had to guess this is only going to get worse and will never be fixed. I genuinely don’t believe the next generation is going to have a decent future ahead of them.
As soon we start worrying about things other than money, we might actually have a chance, but as I get older I have more and more doubt that’ll happen.
What an abhorrent take. That’s an insane set of expectations to place on someone who doesn’t even have a say in the process of coming into being and, frankly, gambling with another person’s life. “Welp, we couldn’t fix it but good luck kiddo.” Disgusting.
Yup - the overwhelming odds say they’ll both contribute and fall victim to the problem, not solve it.
We have ~7bn people alive today, and we can’t muster the will to do what we know we is needed in order to survive. Instead, we’ll refuse to make comparatively small compromises, and sign our children’s death warrants.

Personal Opinion: This is as selfish (my child will save the world) and self centred as having a child to “save a marriage” is stupid.

What if your kid lives in abject horror due to systematic failure of the environmental patterns that allow us to thrive
maybe, but very probably (overwhelmingly so) not. I’ll take those odds
