I have 2 older teenagers, we live in a very comfortable suburb of Paris, top schools etc. If not for my wife's MS we would have had two more because it was fun, we can afford it and we are in a safe place with a bright future for the kids.
I had a discussion with my kids about them having children. They do not want any because of the state of the world. I was with them and told them that if I was in their shoes, knowing how great having kids is - I would not have any either.
I simply would not want them to live in the world I will leave behind.
- baggy_trough 2y agoThis is by far the best time to be alive for any human in history.
- illiac786 2y agoI think the best time was maybe a decade ago, it’s going downward and the outlook is bad. Humans cannot deal well with decline/degradation, it’s very painful to us. Like having a little less money every month – so much worse than having much less money suddenly and then slowly more every month again, even if the total amount of money is the same.
- BrandoElFollito 2y agoRight now, yes. My hypothetical grand-children would be 30 around 2060. With the disastrous predictions for basically everything, and especially climate, I would not to be at my peak at that time.
- baggy_trough 2y agoI bet you’re wrong.
- BrandoElFollito 2y agoMaybe. I would not bet on the well-being of my children.
