This is a rather uni-dimensional and, might I say, judgemental view of the CF movement. People choosing to be child-free just want to have "no responsibilities, FIRE, and never give to anyone but themselves" - really? What about women finally taking agency and rejecting the belief that they must have kids to be fulfilled? You also seem to completely ignore the economic state of the world. The economic conditions we grow up in leave a psychological imprint and influence the choices we make, even as adults.

I have the utmost respect for people with kids, but I also think that an individual needs to be 100% ready to have one, and not just reproduce because it would somehow provide them with a purpose.

Makes sense, but then my next question is - what happens if you don't happen to have this network already? If someone didn't go to a technical university or moved countries and their old networks aren't useful anymore. How do you create networks if the stroke of luck didn't favour you?

You could also look at screen readers, BTW. Can recommend Google TalkBack for Android. iOS has its own which is also quite good based on what I've heard.

For reading, have you considered audiobooks? Since you don't know how the degeneration will progress, it might be easier to start listening to books rather than magnifying and reading them.

Additionally, I would strongly recommend seeing a rehabilitation counselor at some point. They might also be able to better tools.

For world affairs/international relations, CaspianReport on YouTube is great.
