I mean despite that humanity is still ironically at one of the points with the most life quality. I mean I would prefer to be born today than the 300s so the time you're talking about is generally really short.
Still rn if people decided to not have kids not much would happen, it would probably be better even if that sounds a bit harsh. Before it would kinda just make humanity go extinct depending on the time and all.
One argument for anti-natalism too, which is what this is, is that adoption is better since you not only not bring anyone to the world, which may not be wanted for well, diverse reasons, you also help someone.
Yes 100% agree with adoption. I agree it is a short time span, and might get better in the next 400 years (assuming people start looking long term after the climate disaster, which I doubt they will), but the time in between that my kids and theirs would have to suffer through still is very real.
I genuinely don't know if you would be less happy living in the 300s compared to if you're not wealthy living through freak weather heatwaves and massive shortages + algorithm addiction growing up 100 years from now.
