The issue I most side with rationalist/transhumanist types on is that it's incredibly weird that "death is bad" is a controversial opinion.

I agree they are right about that. But I would add ", and birth is good", whereas I think many of them are varying degrees of hesitant about this. So my conclusions on related matters are often quite different to theirs.

I'm not sure anti-natalism is that common among rationalists is it? I'm broadly in favour of creating new humans. I'm not sure birth is *intrinsically* good, but certainly until we cure death it's a strong extrinsic good and probably even after that

It's more common amongst rats than the general populace, much like most weird ideas. But there's plenty of natalist rats too. Not sure of the relative amounts though
