It has to be quitting smoking for me. Not much else matters if you're dead.

Really? Why?
I'm struggling with commitment issues on this one. I just read the chapter "Wealth and Family Unit" in The Bushido of Bitcoin, and it really slapped me in the feels.

Do you mean commitment issues with the other potential parent?
Nothing I've experienced is as transformative as having a kid. It changes something about your entire relationship with the universe. It's the ultimate low time preference move, because you're working on intergenerational value creation.

I know you're right. I believe something deeply profound would change in me as soon as I do.
But the problem is.... it feels like I'm perpetuating a bug in the system. My child will then need to eventually have a child in order to find the same peace. It's not lasting peace, it feels like a lie the parent must invent in order to retain their sanity... similar to why people invent and believe in god stories.
I'm a dev and a mathematician. To me, having a child so that I can improve myself feels like an infinite loop with no closure.... an unbalanced equation. I feel like I need to figure out how to have low time preference and work on intergenerational value without having to have a kid in order to do it. Only then will I be worthy of it. Bringing a new life into this violent world needs to mean more than just my personal growth. It needs to have a greater meaning and purpose than myself and my feelings.
Clearly, I'm confused. And my time is pretty much up. No more time to figure it out. :(

You certainly don't have to do it for yourself. The vast majority of people are glad they exist, so you could do it for the potentially millions of awesome people who can only exist if you choose to have a kid. It's an unfathomable gift to give to the future.

Coming from someone who doesn't have children, it's basically the same as getting a cat...

I've never had a cat, so all I can say is "I doubt it."

Classic. People who aren't cat parents thinking they can give out advice... am I right?

I think it has to be deciding to eat healthier.
So many changes happened because of this simple decision.
Energy level, mind fog, so many things.

Its a slow process, and a lot of experimenting.
But in the end, it has really shown its value.
Im surprised so many people eat foods that are unhealthy for them.
Especially the energy drinks, so much sugar and caffeine.
