I remember my father telling me (probably slightly after my first son was born, great timing indeed!), it would have been a pity to gave birth to someone in this timeline.
Period was around 2010/11, I thought he was just extreme and depressed. Today I can’t really say he was wrong. We western people are just going to see a colossal crash and I feel bad having my kids as a spectator for that.
I had an elderly relative say something similar to me in the early 90s. We aren’t special. People have felt this way forever.
I’m not optimistic about the future, but I don’t think things will necessarily be that bad. Looking at child mortality rates alone, you could say that we’re leaving in a golden age. There’s a lot that’s wrong, but there’s a lot that’s okay too.
