Looks like you failed to save humanity. Maybe you can still do something. So with such an idiot and evil filled world what will you do?
I assist children in unfortunate conditions. I build computers and give them away to the needy and some friends and I buy TI calculators and give them away. I also work with in my rugby team to raise money for the sake of unfortunate kids. I usually work with adolescents because I can't stand babies to elementary school kids. I'm too impatient for that. I can do more and and have a better impact by working with children than just creating them which I'm sure many parents have failed to realize. The key is that working with these children is also temporary and I can go home when I want to. Being a parent should be a 24/7 job. I already have a job and a well paying one so there is no reason to not have one which at the very least doesn't pay at all except with dirty diapers.
Oh, I'm a risk taker. I have taken more risks in my life then anyone I know. Some bit me in the a** and some worked out marvelously. I am smart enough to know marriage and kids is WAAAAYY too big of a risk (and involves someone besides myself) to take for me personally though. It's a lifetime risk, with no guarantee of happiness or a happy ending.
Nothing guarantees happiness and a happy ending. Have you ever taken an emotional risk? It's not the same as lets say sky diving. But again it is YOUR choice. Doesn't make you smarter, doesn't make others idiots.

Cliche, but I think you underestimate the power of love. I see no such risk, but I've always been a closeted romantic at heart.

I've been in love multiple times. I don't underestimate it at all. It's changed me for the better and the worse. Its taught me invaluable lessons, but has NEVER EVER changed my mind about marriage and children. Those things involve other people's feelings, lives and well-being. Not something to be taken lightly.

Look at all the things you accomplished. Where would you be if your parents felt it was too illogical to have children? Who would be there to help the people you helped? You can't always use logic or life can never surprise us with small miracles.

I'm sure there would be other people to help. I just happen to have the opportunity to help. If my parents never had me. I doubt my non-existence would make as much of an impact as you make it out to be. It's up to the child who has no choice of being here to make something of his or herself. I never asked nor do I want to be here. What can you do? I'm not going to sulk over it nor am I going to hurt my friends by blowing my head off. You make the best out the situation. I'm sure you heard of the saying "Make chicken salad out of chicken s***".
EDIT: To be blatant with you, most of these kids I help shouldn't exist at all. Why? If the parents were smart enough to realize that in their predicament that they shouldn't procreate then you have me spending some of my resources on them. I don't have a problem with what I do but it's a tragedy to witness their problems. If I had a kid it would never be close to them (in terms of the horrendous quality of their upbringing) but even so I don't want one because I'm just one person in one household. There is a world beyond my doors and it's a s***hole.
People like the Duggarr's are popping out enough kids to compensate for all of us on this thread who choose not to procreate anyways. For every one of us child free folks there are 10 others having kids by the dozen to fill in our weak spot in the chain.

Your just a sack of sunshine aren't you? Umm I see why some people shouldn't have kids.
