I just had a kid and I also believe the world is on fire. Firstly we’re extraordinarily privileged and even then I wasn’t sure. Secondly we just wanted to and are able to, it’s not excessively stressful because we have enough money and good jobs (my panic attacks have been the normal new parent variety, not the “world is on fire” kind). Third I guess it gives me some hope. Our kid will have their own path. But whatever they choose they’ll be trained to spot disinformation and religious thinking like a sane adult so that gives me some hope. Hopefully it’s enough to counteract the 100 other Idiocracy right wing children.
