thinking about antinatalism lately is the ultimate implication of the premises "we should 100% end life on earth"?
all of the suffering-oriented arguments for antinatalism I'm imagining extend nicely to animals, 90s style seemd to have an ecological bent?

yeah, I think it was a splinter from the environmental movement
-
my position is that since rising welfare leads to lower birth rate for now we can focus on welfare and pop will handle itself
-
that'll be true probably for the rest of my life so there's no point in me asking whether having children is good
-
Hopefully that pattern holds up, also hopefully we dont hit a point where rising pop level --> decreasing welfare --> positive feedback loop
-
I can see that feedback loop happening at a regional level (causing civil wars and death) but I can't see it happening globally
-
yeah seems unlikely, I'm just drawn to imagining bad outcomes I guess!
