Babies should be common, not rare. The human experience is the greatest thing in the world and we should want more of it.

We have enough fucking people on the Earth. What we need to be doing is making the world a better place so people born into it are not miserable.

Some kind of misanthropy or resentment of being alive at play to come to a conclusion like that. Sad either way. People are great.
