Wanted to but got red pilled into:

  • financial burden = the quality of life I want to offer my child(ren) can't be reached, even compromising.
  • psychological damage = my ability to raise a healthy child is high but not high enough, I don't want to raise another drone like me whose self worth is coupled to their productivity in society.
  • ecological damage = another human
  • emotional damage = I would break to know my child will suffer. The rise of racism, climate change, war... I don't want to raise meat for the meat grinder.

Long story short, there are many points on the list, but at this stage I don't trust humanity with my offspring. Everything else could be sorted out.
