And just wave away, via cognitive dissonance, the fact that the kids you produce are likely to be badly fucked over by climate change and an overpopulated world in their lifetime?
There have been several mass extinction events in the last 500 million years that resulted in the disappearance of the majority of animal life. We're here today through the virtue of our (500 million years of) ancestors who picked up, moved on, and got right back to fucking. They probably weren't enjoying half-starving and watching their children die, but they kept at it. Biological imperative doesn't give a shit.
I up-voted you. So many people -- including people prone to gloominess -- seem to reproduce without thinking of the fact that they are forcing another human into existence who may not enjoy life very much.
