Is having kids while poor (no trust fund) the most selfish thing possible?

Ripping another consciousness from the void and putting them on Earth to suffer and die

It might be somewhat acceptable if you were set up to care for their every need so they never have to work and can spend their life exploring or pursuing passions.

But if you can't offer them a trust fund that makes them financially independent at a young age it seems extremely selfish to me.

Forcing another innocent person to become a wage-slave just because you wanted to continue your legacy

That's not even including the possibility they could have major medical or mental issues which further reduce their quality of life

A guy who claims to impregnate multiple lesbians is presenting a moral question about poor people having kids?

A child born in poverty that is loved by his parents is richer than a neglected "rich" kid.
Actually, the gap between, say, Plato or Nietzsche and the average human is greater than the gap between that chimpanzee and the average human. The realm of the real spirit, the true artist, the saint, the philosopher, is rarely achieved.

I think it would be weird and hellish if every person on earth came from a well to do family. I would probably want to leave asap but maybe it would be different if everyone had the same life. Although I’m assuming there’d always be some kind of hierarchy when it comes to income/wages so eventually things would go back to how they were

They can even have Dino Nuggies if they work hard enough.

A broken clock is still right twice a day and OP (Wincel) is on the mark for this one though a trust fund is going a bit far.

Consider that the world's largest populations are India and China. If you're a child born today, you're likely to be Indian or Chinese. I don't know about India but Chinese people are smarter and work harder than 99% of you. They work 996 there, 9AM to 9PM 6 days a week just to stay afloat and can't really get ahead so you can't just say not making it is a result of lack of effort or planning.

Post WW2 America until the 2000s was unprecedented prosperity. You could be a lazy retard and make it then which is what's skewing your view. America is rapidly declining though so if you have a kid even in America today and they aren't well set up, they're probably not going to make it.

I'm loving life over here, not sure what this ripping a consciousness from the void to put them on Earth to suffer and die is all about.

Sounds like you are going through some shit, hope you work it out.

As someone who has not been helped out once since the age of 18, I would say yes. Although that is prob just me being bitter. The most money I have received from someone else was Kimm graciously giving me $100.00 when I couldn't pay my electric bill (srs)

Nonsense gave Voidgaze $100 and his best bra and Voidgaze still snaked him.
