I urge you to really think about the “end of your bloodline” thing. I know so many smart people who are going to take themselves out of the gene pool because they don’t want to sacrifice modern comforts. It makes me really sad and I think a lot of people are doing what you’re doing and just ignoring the problem. The future needs more smart, kind, people. Not fewer. It is worth it to sacrifice a little to create the next generation, goodness knows there were generations before you that sacrificed much more so that you could ultimately end up living, and it’s easier that you think, especially if you’re in a country that provides a decent social safety net.

> The future needs more smart, kind, people. Not fewer. The wealthy capitalists who created this situation in the first place are largely going to be the ones inheriting the future. I don't want to bring more "good, kind, people" into existence to be exploited by them. This is where we're heading. "Good people" can't solve it, because they're far less likely than the plutocrats to even be able to survive comfortably.

  You are right, they did create this situation and they are going to be inheriting the future. But your demoralization only benefits them even more, they want you to give up because ultimately they and their offspring will take the resources you and your family had. Life is a struggle sometimes, but we shouldn't just give up, you have to keep fighting. Life only seems terrible for us because we are viewing it in comparison with the generation that came before us, which was an anomaly in the broader scope of history. Before them (the boomers) life was even worse than we have it now, but that does not mean that there can't be a bright future for those who choose to continue fighting. Your removal from the gene pool is not only the end of your family, which fought for generations to secure a future for you, but it is also a small death of your culture and your values, which I think are great and deserve to continue on.
