I struggle with this line of reasoning as almost every generation before has had similar struggles. World wars, great depressions, authoritarian regimes/dictators, and nuclear wars, just to name a few of the most recent. Add in historical contexts like plagues, invasions, witch hunts, etc. If people had the same thoughts as this then none of us would be here today, I dont fault my parents for the state of the world even if I wish it was better but I'm glad I get to experience the mystery we call consciousness and help better the world for all those in the future that come after me. If those with common sense stop having kids and teaching all we are guaranteed to do is make the world even worse off for those living today and let stupidity continue to rise in those who will be born in the future. The hateful and idiotic people aren't questioning whether they should have kids, so if we can counter that by having and raising well-adjusted kids its imperative we try. Otherwise, humanity will be doomed to be full of hateful bigots that will destroy ourselves.
