Obviously no one is. But you can't stop the universe from doing so. I would like to see the universe try and stop me.I'm an advocate for a philosophy that I believe in. I'm going to fucking TRY to get people not to have kids.

Morality is integral to the argument for anti-natalism. Well, logistical "ought"s are. That is, "sentient being ought not suffer," or "sentient beings ought not kill each other." Those are integral. I still don't like the word "morality" because it has... religious implications that I hate.

Everything in life is basically a test to see how far you go. Who are you to impose some stupid test on someone?

I don't see the issue. That's basically what scientists do with lab rats. Scientists are doing productive things with their specimens for the benefit of, you know, science. People don't have kids for the same reasons. At all. Not even close.

Verbatim's primary argument is that conception is wrong because the one being conceived cannot consent beforehand. But how does that which does not exist consent, or do anything at all for that matter? Why the fuck do you say "primary"? It's AN argument that I gave. It's not my fucking primary argument.

I'd like you to clarify why not having kids--if taken as a moral imperative--is at all logical impossible.
Drawing a triangle with four sides? THAT's logically impossible. He's referring to the fact that I refer to life as an imposition. I often say, I would have no problem with natalism (giving birth) if you had a choice in the matter. If you could give your consent, I wouldn't have problems with procreation. Because you could say, "Wow, fuck you, I don't wanna be a part of that hellhole." But because that's not possible, Kupo thinks it's okay to impose life. Because there has to be an existing person to consent in order for it to matter. That's his logic.

Or better yet, to put them up to the challenge to see how far they can go. Why? For what?

Life isn't supposed to be fair. All the more reason not to impose life on others.

Because there's nothing inherently wrong with suffering, which seems to be the entire reason for wanting to eliminate it. For the fifth time, it's NOT. There's nothing inherently wrong with suffering--that doesn't mean it HAS to happen. That doesn't mean it HAS to exist. Invariably, it is BETTER if there is NO suffering.

What sense does it make for a species to force its own extinction because it cannot fulfill a logically impossible moral requirement? Perfect sense. I don't know what's so troubling about it, to be honest. You're going to have to tell me.

Answer my question please. I DID. Meta actually understands what the fuck I'm saying, and he summed up my position quite well.

What's so horrible about suffering? As I said in my first post, through suffering comes wisdom, enlightenment, and growth. Refer to Meta's post. We learn and grow from pain and suffering, struggle and conflict
You're missing the entire point. Verb isn't saying that suffering can NEVER have some sort of utility, he's saying it needn't operate in a position of utility or disutility at all.

Tell me first why whales should go extinct. Birds. Lions. Insects. Go ahead and tell me what ending the existence of a species will accomplish. No life, no suffering. Boom. Go ahead, ask some more embarrassingly easy questions.

Anyways, how about you stop derailing your own topic and actually provide some good arguments for me? You derailed the thread, and I have provided an argument. Apparently, the idea that I want the human race to go EXTINCT is (somehow) news to you. Now it's YOUR turn to show to me why the human race shouldn't go extinct. You will fail.

Fuck you. Get out of the fucking thread if you're not gonna discuss the fucking subject.
I was miserable for YEARS before I became an anti-natalist.
And I've been one for almost three years. Yeah, some "phase".

Say all humans stop reproducing completely. Now fast forward 50 years. Do you see the problem? ...No. Unless your goal is to eventually end all of human existence, then you should be able to see why it's fucking stupid. . . . OF COURSE THAT'S THE FUCKING GOAL. How the fuck could you NOT know that?

That's stupid, and not the natural cycle of things. https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/appeal-to-natureCreating or giving life is not evil my any means whatsoever, and probably the dumbest of all your ideology. Life is what you make of it. If you're going to say that it's bad and evil, then I guess it is. [insert nonsensical, ambiguous platitude here] "life is what you make of it, durr" That's philosophy to you. You're such a waste of time. Life is chaos. Wrong. Everything is determined. If you fail to predict an event accurately, then all that means is that there are outlying variables that you failed to account for. Period. There is no chaos. At all.

The initial implementation of b.next on January 9th, 2013.

We learn and grow from pain and suffering, struggle and conflict- if you're strong enough to overcome it. That's were true wisdom and enlightenment comes from. That's how life teaches us its hardest lessons. To just say "fuck it, life sucks and is pointless" means that you've failed to make it fulfilling. But finding how to make life fulfilling is generally the goal for all of us. *jerk off motion* Yeah, whatever. You're missing the point anyway. I'm not saying life sucks; therefore life sucks. I'm saying life sucks; therefore, don't have kids, because imposing life on them is obnoxious, unasked for, and, frankly, evil. It's chaotic, False. You're not gonna be able to tell that to a determinist.

I'm not going to chastise people for having kids, either. Neither would I. I hope I never gave the impression that I did, because I don't, and I never have. That would be obnoxious and fruitless--it's not like there's an undo button. If there was, then procreation wouldn't be an issue for me at all. But no, strictly, what I try to do is incite trepidation within people who do want to start a family down the line. That's all I really can do, apart from engaging in... Whatever this is. Internet polemics.
