People ask me fairly frequently why I’ve never had kids.

And one reason is because I’d make a terrible father. I’m selfish, do not like kids and did not like being a kid. No, I wouldn’t like a kid even if it were my own. I wouldn’t want to inflict me being a father or anyone having to be a kid on someone either. There’s already enough suffering in the world and I have no desire to add to it.

Also, there’s likely to be much disruption due to climate change and potentially WWIII. Who would want to bring a child into that?

So that’s the simple answer.
