Have some context - you are better off living in this time/place than any other time and your future children would probably be too.

- rhcom2 7y agoSurely people were saying that during the Pax Romana too and it was true... until it wasn't.
- Creationer 7y agoNot having children - and not curating a presumably well-mannered and intelligent next-generation - leaves our civilization worse off and large problems that much harder to solve. Human intellect is rare, and partly hereditary. Please pass your genes along - at least offer a sperm or egg donation.

- Creationer 7y agoSome people take solace in the idea of childlessness. I think that raising as many happy, healthy, intelligent and productive children as possible, with a suitable partner, is our very raison d'etre. Specifically for the high-IQ HN audience. Life and society becomes much simpler and more rewarding when you view things from this perspective.
- rubicon33 7y agoJust because now is better than in the past, doesn't mean now is worth bringing someone into the world. That's just a logical argument, not whether or not you actually believe now is or isn't worth it. That's entirely subjective and not really worth arguing about IMO.
