I don't always love his videos, but this one hits home.

I'm childfree for many reasons, but there are so many obvious ones - no one should be wondering why millennials are choosing not to have kids.

My parents showed me through their actions that having kids is a fucking nightmare.

I learned from their mistakes, and I'm breaking the cycle. So far, my brother/sister in law are in the same boat.

Checks world population clock.. 8 billion or more and 9 million starving to eath every year.

We aren't even looking after the ones who are alive now let alone any concern for a livable biosphere for everyone and other species..

The real question is, what sort of self deception do you engage in to justify having kids ?
