Pretty 29-yr old happy without kids. Internet has opinions.

Do you think there is a social contract? Is it all narcissism all the way down now? Is it fine to eff up the environment, not pay taxes, end social safety nets, etc., without any guilt if the individual can eek out a tiny bit more serotonin?

People with kids eff up the environment more, pay fewer taxes, and are more likely to need the services of social safety nets. That's a weird combination of effects to associate with childlessness.

What about somebody who contributes meaningfully to society in other ways but doesn't have kids? ... plenty of room for people who contribute in other ways but don't have kids to still fulfill enough of their social contract to be a net benefit.

She describes her life as "effortless", "ease", and "focusing on herself". She isn't curing cancer. She's going to Beyonce, drinking, waking up at 10:15, scrolling on her phone, and has plans to watch reruns of Real Housewives of New York. She might put in the effort to learn how to make shakshuka but we all know she won't because it is effort and she's already said that putting in effort isn't her thing. Twenty-nine and pretty turns into thirty-nine and used-to-be-pretty in the blink of an eye.

And what the **** are you doing in your life? I'm going out on a limb and guessing not curing cancer either.

Eh, I don't know, when I was 39 I was firmly in the "used to be pretty" camp.
