I'm not an anti-natalist nor am I planning to have children, but I am generally interested if there is a good reason to have children.

It is obvious that capitalism makes it hard to raise kids but even without capitalism, is there a good reason to bring new humans to earth?

I don't know am I caring too much?

Wow this thread is terrible. Lot of child free anti natalist stuff in comments.

Wanting to have kids or have a family is a basic human thing.

Yeah you can personally not want to. Or feel that its currently untenable.

Doesn't mean we should stop everything and walk into the thresher to die. That's just very pessimistic.

I don't currently plan to do much in life. But I also don't control what the future holds. What I would consider to do now will be different years from now.
