Yes, we have a clearer view of the world than ever for those who can discern the truth from the bullshit. But shootings have always happened and are still quite rare, politicians have certainly been more corrupt in our history, and climate change is just that, change. We're not certain which regions are going to benefit and which will suffer. We might all collectively suffer economically from the instability, but the "fiery hellscape" rhetoric is severely overblown.

Seems like many in my generation (millennials) and younger are ill-equipped to deal with this glut of information, so they seize up. There are plenty of rational reasons to postpone having kids. School shootings, climate change and political corruption are not among them once you look at the data.
