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

Alpha Minus @AlphaMinus2Replying to @chaosprimeReligious people have more kids than atheists, Most of the time susceptibility to memes actually makes you more evolutionary "successful".
