Is antinatalism dangerous?
Is antinatalism dangerous?
Its a sentiment carried by many of the handholdless virgins who inhabit this place, so expect a lot of reeees.
Antinatalist genocide when?
Obviously.
I can understand responses like this. Societies that don't crack down hard on antinatalism die.
>literature
>antinatalism leads your children
heh
>philosophy isn't literature
>cioran, ligotti, ecclesiastes and schopenhauer aren't literature
>the greeks aren't literature
No, we're hardwired to procreate.
societies don't deserve to survive
Is =/= ought, dummy.
It's a meme seen only on the fringes of the fringes of the internet, there's no way to make it appealing to most people, and very few of the people who meme it would ever have the balls to kill someone, so no.
>cracking down on antinatalism
that's how you turn a niche philosophy into a legitimate movement
>Providing a naturalistic argument to disprove an anti-naturalistic philosophy

The birth rates of most Western countries seems to imply that many people have taken antinatalism to heart, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
birth rates simply decline in stability periods, it's commonly noted through history that harsh living conditions are coupled with higher birthrates
Any country that reaches developed status has a below replacement fertility rate.
Civilisation is antinatalist.
Antinatalism is just valuing less children over more.
I thought the end game of antinatalism is to erase the human race from earth.
The body count and suffering of omnicide does not hold a candle to the body count and suffering of life's perpetuation.
literally none of these things are literature
The greeks got bad when they amped the philosophy up, silly.
t. Nietzsche.
We infrequently contemplate the harms that await any new-born child—pain, disappointment, anxiety, grief, and death. For any given child we cannot predict what form these harms will take or how severe they will be, but we can be sure that at least some of them will occur. None of this befalls the nonexistent. Only existers suffer harm.
Buddhists are antinatalists ...they seem pretty cool
Those countries are just reaching an equilibrium, you can't keep expanding forever.
>does not hold a candle to the body count and suffering of life's perpetuation.
Better to have lived and suffered, then to not know suffering.
Yfbye less you mean zero, yes.
>very few of the people who meme it would ever have the balls to kill someone, so no.
I wish you wouldn't imply that believing in antinatalism means you would have to be willing to to kill someone, or have to believe that people ought to be killed. It's a topic that, just like Stoicism, for whatever reason, is frequently misunderstood by people here.
they play on hardmode though whiff the reincarnation
