raising kids should not be seen as a way of finding meaning for the sake of finding meaning,
Good thing he didn’t say that then. It’s a fundamental part of life because it literally enables the existence of future generations of humanity. Human life doesn’t happen without parents. It’s fine to not want kids, its not a fundamental part of every single individual’s life, but it is a fundamental part of life as a whole, for the species.

Anyhow, I can totally see where you would get that impression but I think you are kinda assuming the worst. I don’t personally know anyone that thinks “everyone should have kids even if they don’t think they want to” or anything remotely like that, and zifnab seems like a good dude, so I was more charitable in my reading. It was pretty clear to me that he was countering the increasingly deranged posts about how awful having kids is and nobody should do it by citing his own experience and those of people around him, not saying that that poster in particular, or “everyone always”, should have kids. Just reinforcing that it isn’t an inherently miserable experience, quite the opposite, for many it turns out to be very rewarding.
