Counter opinion.... Given the terrible trajectory of our world and society as a whole. Plus how every living generation has failed to do even the bear minimum to solve it... You're kind of a shitty human being by condemning your children to suffer our mistakes.
Not to mention, you're not that awesome and ultimately part of the problem, so maybe we don't need more of you (or me for that matter).
My parents put me on this world which is on the trajectory it is, I do not blame them. At least I have the opportunity to do good in the world.
But you dont? You instead just say "well my parents did it, so I'll do it to"
I agree with everything you said. The path to a brighter future is not more humans, its fewer. The idea that thoughtful, intelligent people should feel obligated to reproduce for the benefit of humanity is ridiculous.
