I know a dozen young women (and couples) who don’t want babies. Their reasons always amount to “I can’t bring a child into a world on the eve of destruction”. This is from young adults in their prime child bearing age. There’s a connection here, between the despair of young adults who want to remain childless, and adolescents whose despair leads to suicide.

There's also careerism. Going to law school as a mid-life career change and being around aspiring female lawyers in their 20s was an interesting experience. They usually fit the "woke white woman" stereotype, and I think a lot of that was displaced resentment at the way their social status-seeking conflicted with their natural instincts. They were burning their prime reproductive years trying to make partner instead of being one, so to speak.
Since I was the old guy, I could sort of get away saying sexist and patronizing stuff like that. I'm probably on some blacklist now, but who cares -- at my age, I wasn't on track to be a Judge or Attorney General anyway. Frankly, I think one of the main reasons I got admitted to law school in the first place was just so that there would be somebody in class who could tell the kids "this is not how real life works".
(Also, because otherwise nobody would get the Professors' outdated pop culture references. Once we got into a colloquy about potential 4th Amendment issues in "Sanford and Son", and nobody else in the room had the first clue what we were talking about. Good times...)
The downside is that you'll be in class with a good-looking girl, and you think what a guy thinks when he's around a good-looking girl... and then you realize you're literally old enough to be her father, and then you feel creepy and sad.
My daughter (born 1970) has a lot of girlfriends she has known and kept up with since high school. Quite a few of them were career and party girls, not wanting to get married or have children...for awhile, at least. Fast forward to now: After a few decades of this, these same women are now in their early 50s, alone or unable to find a husband, disillusioned with their "careers", and realizing they wish they had a home, husband and family with children after all. It's mostly too late for them because they have been finding that men in their age group want younger wives. I see regret for their self indulgent choices in many of these women.
Interestingly enough the Bible does say woe to those carrying a child in the last days. I’m not saying we are in the thick of it…but this trend of not wanting to bring children into this world is a real thing and now we understand more of why the Bible says that. 😔
Back then, they were just getting started with the climate change bull crap. Except it was called “global cooling”. I recall talk of a coming new Ice Age. They even made a movie about it. Unfortunately, global temperatures started warming up, so they changed to warning about “global warming”. Unfortunately, once again there was a cooling trend. So they came up wit “climate change” to cover all the bases.
Go look up "Cooling World" April 28, 1975 in Newsweek. You can find a PDF of an article about "Climactic change and the world is cooling". It's quite funny to read. It shows clearly how climate scientists have been SO very wrong for the last 47+ years. And are still wrong.
I will agree with them at a certain level. When I see the medical cartel getting a hold of children with countless vaccines at a young age, the school system, a cell phone in their hand every minute of the day...and no God...what kind of spiritual, mental and physical contentment will that human being have? Bringing an innocent human being into the world can also be selfish. And the world is getting worse every single day.

The important thing with attending law school as a mature student is to educate the clueless and to crack 70's jokes.

Maybe that was just me, I dunno.

And it's happening in mostly White, western nations.
Which are also the places where Jabs are most pushed.

I had that same thought over 30 years ago. It's not just today's kids realizing this world is going to shit.

I respond that the world needs good sensible children to change the world and this is not the eve of destruction unless they let it be.
If they have that much angst about the world they may be mentally I’ll themselves and maybe should not be parents. Despair is a good sign.
