>If you don't pass on your genes (have a kid) you are the first in an unbroken chain of life since the very first life on Earth to not reproduce and you break that unbroken chain that spans literally hundreds of thousands of years.
>You also potentially prevent millions of other lives from coming in to existence (your kid, grandkid, great grandkid, and so on for X generations just as if your earliest ancestor millions of years ago decided not to reproduce)
so you're saying I have a chance to break the mould and not be one of the servile sheep from the past
