Having a kid is 1000x better than *not* having a kid

In spite of the downsides. In fact, I think more intelligent and educated people should have kids.

Why?

Nowadays it seems that the trend is to not have kids. To have a dog instead.

But after having baby Seneca, my life has become 1000 times better. 1000 times more meaningful, and 1000 times more clear. Of course 1000 times more difficult and hard, but 1000 times worth it.
