When in human history was ever a good time to have children?
Is there an objective "this was the best year/decade/century"?
Yeah that's how I feel. People still had kids during wars, famines, imprisonment, potential nuclear war. Every problem humans have ever faced really. This is the best time to be alive ever. There are tonne of problems we are going to face in the near future but that has always been the case.
The biggest reasons people are having kids is we're all overweight and feel bad about ourselves and are constantly comparing to people/couples online. We have phone/shopping/gaming addictions to deal with all this mental stress. Online dating is shit. 3rd places don't exist anymore. We are all lonely and meeting someone and figuring everything out to the point where children are an viable option seems impossible. Easier to just say fuck it and just post memes and complain about the world is bad now so I'm not having kids. And to be fair all of that has a lot of truth in it.
Incorrect. The biggest reason people aren't having kids is that the planet is dying and no one can afford them anyway. Life is nothing to do to a person at this point.
