    I originally tried to point out to someone who was glad that they don’t have children due to the current future prospects that actually there is a strong argument that children are necessary, but should be raised better. The person who replied to me initially said that there are too many people, implying that there should be no more children, but then said services to improve children’s prospects should be invested in. What would be the point in having such services if we’ve already given up on having future children? Isn’t nihilism counter to social investment?
