re: It's sad seeing millennials talk so gracefully about not having kids...

Kids are great, but the world is only getting shittier. I hope things can make a reversal rather than getting worse, but it doesn't seem like kids these days will grow up in as good a world as we did

I agree the world sucks now.. but it’s not like it was that much better when we were kids (im Gen X).. we had Ted Bundy and other serial killers, Make A Wish b/c kids were dying left and right from cancer and other diseases, and we had missing kids on milk cartons.. not to mention the threat of nuclear annihilation (still exists btw) which literally kept me up at night as a 9 yr old .

In my most humble opinion, it’s becuase we now have a world with 8 Billion people (when is as a kid there were 5 bill, it’s hard to keep up)- so the more people you have , the more deviants and miscreants you’ll have, it’s simple mathematics.. so fewer people is a net positive .
