I remember my father telling me (probably slightly after my first son was born, great timing indeed!), it would have been a pity to gave birth to someone in this timeline.

Period was around 2010/11, I thought he was just extreme and depressed. Today I can't really say he was wrong. We western people are just going to see a colossal crash and I feel bad having my kids as a spectator for that.

"hard times make hard people, hard people make good times." (paraphrasing as I haven't found time to dig out the original quote)

We are the parents shaping the people who save the world.
