You put it like it's not normal to not wanting kids.

I'm pretty sure a lot like and love their kids but I'm quite fine with not having to shift my life around kids.

We area much fuller planet than before. Everything is full.

We also have plenty of other things to occupy our time than kids and we can have sex without kids and stigma.

afaik Its not normal in the statistics sense of the word, most people are falling in a tightly centered distribution. But I'm not going to debate here that it's a moral choice, or that you're somehow wrong by being one or more SDs out of center. (It might be, but this isnt the forum for it). Anyone who does not want to have children of their own are well within their rights. I'd encourage anyone who doesnt have kids to still find someway to contribute their time/interactions to the next generations though, I've found it really changes the mindset of people to invest in someone else with no expectation of return.
Im a nihilist and also see value in anti-natialism.
