A paid year away from work is not minuscule. The benefits of somebody else having kids is minuscule to me.

Fewer people is our best option (it is still a terrible option, don't get me wrong) for mitigating the effects of climate change.

Your parents having you is a miniscule benefit to you?

Yes. If my parents didn’t have me the world would be better off (not any kind of downer, just a fact that I take more from the world than I give — like nearly everybody) and I wouldn’t know the difference because I wouldn’t exist.
