You nailed it. There's a trauma, psychological damage, incurred from being born & thrust involuntarily into existence. This trauma manifests in a myriad of ways. Antinatalism hones in on our core issue & exposes it to the light of consciousness. #antinatalism t.co/WFLzMXb4ix

It really is the core issue. Very few, if any, ever recover from this trauma of being born. I think a lot of the hostility one encounters when discussing AN is because most are completely unconscious of it & lash out at anything which dares to expose it.

I've never studied birth trauma or epigenetics. But, I've pondered long & hard over antinatalist philosophy & at it's root, there is the trauma of having existence imposed on you & then the subsequent conditioning & development thereafter. It's deep.

Those are good points you've made. But the trauma I'm referring to is the trauma of being forced into existence & forced into a harmful situation, one of suffering, pain, decay & death. Being born is the worst crime one can have experienced against oneself.

Being born is the matrix of all violence. I reckon it could all be traced back to that 1st DNA molecule that managed to replicate itself some 3.5 billion years ago. It just happened. No reason. No plan. Just, plop! It replicated. Then all hell broke loose
