i strongly support antinatalism because its long-term effect will be to breed susceptibility to antinatalism and the tendencies that underpin it, and to a lesser degree susceptibility to memes in general, out of the species

in general, any time you want to cull the tendency to care about some phenomenon X out of the gene pool, you should field a convincing argument of "X, therefore you should not have children"

Alpha Minus @AlphaMinus2Replying to @chaosprimeReligious people have more kids than atheists, Most of the time susceptibility to memes actually makes you more evolutionary "successful". That's why the world runs on mass lies and delusions. This tweet is just a sneer pretending to be something more. fu dude.10 replies 1 retweet 46 likesShow this thread -

I think it does represent more susceptibility to memes, which explains why they already have memes in all of the meme-slots that antinatalism would otherwise occupy (a la Snow Crash)

in other words, religiosity doesn't have to be a superior meme, it just has to breed people easily susceptible to memes and then be the first one in. There's definitely a 'first mover advantage' for the defending meme cluster

Replying to @chaosprime
the meta-argument for traditionalism is sound, but there are a lot of specific instances of net losses masquerading as deep organic wisdom to steal into your brain under the cover of religiosity
