Thanks. I take that as a compliment. But I dont "believe" in AN. AN is the outcome of honestly describing physical existence. We're forced into existence, forced to school, forced to work, forced to suffer, decay & die. In the end, it's all for nothing.

Cmon man! You say everything is futile and pointless, and yet you're the most passionate AN advocate on twitter! Admit it, you don't actually believe antinatalism is futile, do you? You passionately believe in AN! You've been kicked out of the Nihilist Club!

Here's another compliment. You're one of the smartest people on here. So will you finally see reason and admit that the suffering prevented by our decision not to procreate is a fact, unaffected by solar extinction at a later date, and far from being futile, is fantastic! Agreed?

Thanks, again. You're too kind. But I don't know if there's any value in not breeding. In the end, humans go extinct, anyway. But on a personal level, I don't want to force anymore meat into the grinder. So, subjectively, I feel "good" about that.

Crystal ball shows a person marked by years of pain and torment, unbearable, and yet it is borne for years on end until death. It is the child you wisely spared from existence. It simply cannot be that you think your decision futile, regardless of much later solar extinction!

I don't know. I could've had a child who grew up to become an evil dictator that launched a nuclear war & annihilated all life on the planet and, hence, ended all suffering. So, maybe I fucked up not breeding. Hahaha

Hahaha!! But seriously, good point. Uncertainty of human knowledge means our best endeavours may well be doing more harm than good. So I concede you could say all human actions *may* be futile. But I still take issue with the claim all human actions *are* futile. They may not be!

And I respect your right to suspend judgement. I'm also a part-time Pyrrhonist. When there are sufficient arguments to both sides of an issue, its wise to suspend judgement & just let it be. But in the end, it doesn't matter (I just had to get that in there)
