another service our antinatalist friends perform! normative rationalism proceeds by palming a card, reasoning to a point where an emotive judgment is elided because it's assumed to be universal; antinatalists show no such response is in fact universalhttps://twitter.com/chaosprime/status/1150605408454815745 …

People who wring their hands about whether or not they can strictly reason their way to something being right or wrong tend to have the weakest moral judgment. You would think the parable of Solomon and the two mothers would have sunk in by now

Morality is a tangled thing from many forces, and reason doesn't encompass it alone (though it is a component). Attempts to override and find some fully rational result, ignoring the cultural, internal, etc. tends to produce unrecognizable results like the antinatalism example.

The different internal motivations will always exist, but attempts to exalt reason over the others is an act of denial within that framework that leads to bizarre results. I don't think I'm on a different page. Motivations belonging to every human are virtually unthinkable to me
