Yes, the only way to "win" against this social contract forced upon you is to end it with you, and have no children. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is why educated people in developed countries have far fewer children. On top of reproductive agency, a better educated populace sees the writing on the wall far more clearly regarding their own social contract than one who is more focused on survival. You cannot change the hierarchical nature of human civilization, you have no say in your social contract, you will always be forced to work to earn money on a planet you never wanted to be born on. Also we live in a unique moment in history in regards to automation. While we may never live to see a truly autonomous society, our children will have a much larger chance. This is the social contract while the people at the top of society need something from us. (our labor) Do you really expect better treatment when we are (in their words) useless eaters? This is the best we've ever been statistically and people still live in horrible conditions across the world (even here in the USA), I would highly encourage people to opt out if they can.
