    The anti-natalist philosopher David Benatar argues that it would be better if no one had children ever again.http://nyer.cm/xhMmfN9

        Thank you for this interview. At the very least it may help people to examine how we treat each other as well as how we treat animals and how overpopulation hurts the environment and quality of life. But it probably won’t...

        Might be a better strategy to find solutions on how to be better parents, caregivers and pet owners instead of dismissing life completely.

        Not even worth reading over nine years without my children grandchildren family and closest friends They are still the very fiber of my very existence my memories carry me through hell's fury. Being a mom and grandmom is the very best part of me.

        Well not never, but pausing until we figure out how to sustain the life we already have would be nice.

        He’s separating pleasure and suffering and often they go together. Pleasure without struggle is bland, it’s a norm. But when you fight for that pleasure its sharp savory flavor is intoxicating. And while life is meaningless as an individual, it is cosmic as the human race.

        I purposely didn't have children; no regrets. We humans don't do a great job of taking care of very much on this planet. Mr. Benatar makes some very valid points.

        I'd have expected a better article than this - lots of generalities combined with a controversial topic on a standard recipe, without bringing anything except readers and polemic.

        If the New Yorker has so much fresh content every day, why are you reposting this shit? And why hide that it's a retweet?
