      BAM! Yeah this. Larkin is all those guys I went to university with, super big into postmodernist relativism and the death of meaning, then gliding into management.

      I mean, you can be glib about this but the world is getting less and less inhabitable. I don't think your young children are gonna thank you for having them when they grow up. Especially if you lie to them.

      Not sure if this is directed at me, but if it is, I’m not being glib? I like being alive, as long as I have my meds, so I don’t think the same is too unlikely for my kids.

      At 4°C of global warming when infrastructure has completely broken down and nobody can GET meds? Which is, like, maybe 50 years off?

      I mean, i genuinely believe at this point that the only long-term hope for the planet is for human beings to die off as quickly as possible, tbh. My hope is in the K-T boundary, where we lost 93% of all species but the Earth recovered.

      Ah, see, that's one of our differences--whereas while I care about other species in a live and let live sort of way, don't care about them enough to wish to see humanity sacrifice gone for them. That's a fair enough difference, I think.

      My antinatalism is the philosophical kind (like Benatar and Ligotti's), not the ecological kind Which is in some sense more narrowly focused - the great harm human beings do is not to other animals or "the planet" but to themselves

      And more narrowly, the harm of your existence isn't the harm you do to other people, but *to yourself* But in that sense I think it's actually the big picture way of looking at it The tragedy isn't that people are bad people, that we're not smart enough or kind enough

      The tragedy *is people* "People", as a concept, shouldn't exist Sapient consciousness is an evil in itself, it by nature *is suffering* and can only be resolved by ceasing to be

      Replying to @arthur_affect @iridienne and

      Yes, this is a perfect example of why philosophy and I have never gotten along. I just don't agree with that, doesn't match my experience of being sapiently conscious, and even if I did agree, wouldn't agree that therefore the answer is to cease to be.

      I've always felt this way to some degree, is the thing, and it wasn't philosophy that taught me to be anti-life, just gave me words to use for it that said I wasn't necessarily "crazy" for believing it

          Oh, I don't doubt it. It can definitely speak to your experience without at all resonating with mine. But that's why we don't agree about the morality of making children.
