It's not about news but the reality around me, and I'm not in US but in a country that has an active war on the other side of the eastern border. And it's a war with increasing participation of drones and robots.

And at work? Yeah, the clock is ticking, and in this transitory period people seem to be happily ginving up on thinking and their agency. Execs are getting more and more sociopathic. Young people more and more disenganged. The planet is getting worse and worse.

At this point I really regret that I brought my kids to life, because I'm pretty sure it will be mostly suffering that they will experience.

That is extremely bleak. The story of the human race is a series of good and bad cycles. Right now we are in a bad cycle. It will end. Maybe in 10 years, maybe in 20 years, maybe in 80. But it will. And we need your children & others to carry the torch of our species into the future. Humanity still has many thousands of years of life in us yet.

    Think of the hubris it must take to yank a soul out of non existence into 
  this... meat, to force a life into this... thresher. That"s... so my daughter, she
  spared me the sin of being a father.
