>If life is so miserable why would people continue to have so many children?
This right here is why I'm child free.
First, My own upbringing did nothing to equip me to properly raise a child. I simply cannot trust myself to do a good job.
Second, why would I bring a child into a world where each year will only be worst than the last, and their lot in life is to suffer the decline of the natural world and perhaps civilization as we know it until they themselves have to make the same choice? I'm sure someday the future will look brighter but it sure as heck isn't today, or any time in the next 50 years.

With this realisation alone you might be in the top percentiles of the population. > I'm sure someday the future will look brighter but it sure as heck isn't today, or any time in the next 50 years. And yet it still might be better than at least 99.98% of human history (50 out of 300k+ years).
