I don't see it as transhumanist. There is pain. Pain is real. But the thinking about the pain only exacerbates it. And sometimes the thinking about it creates more stress than the actual pain.

Yeah you right I wasn’t trying to make it sound like I was saying that was transhumanist, was just saying I was reading about suffering on the web and that brought me to transhumanism

But you’re right thinking about it causes more stress than the actual pain, like how depression can cause physical pain in some people

Worrying and fretting about shit can make you truly ill

It will shit can give you ulcers and kind of other shit, I like to use pessimism as a form of therapy of sorts for my depression it helps me knowing that I’m not the only one that thinks way I do as strange as that may sound

I can't prove it but I think stress is what triggers a lot of cancer.
As far as pessimism goes, I think it's more common than is publicly acknowledged. Antinatalism, on the other hand, is rare.

I agree, I was gonna say cancer but not being able prove it(like you said) I just said other shit LoL. I think a lot of people are more pessimistic they just don’t want to admit it

I've known a lot of pessimists. My parents were pessimistic as hell. Always looked on the dark side of things. I've had friends that were pessimistic. But I've never known an antinatalist in real life. I cant even talk to ppl about it. They just glaze over lol

I believe in as for me cause I know how careless and reckless I was when I was younger and now on top of knowing I had cancer, was a criminal, as was most my family that I know there wouldn’t be any significance for a piece of shit like me to bring a child into the world

And also seeing what fellow man can do to one another and how even the most holiest are also not as so great as they perceive themselves to be on the outside that I’m against procreation

Those are all good reasons not to breed.
For me, it's the act of forcing another human being into existence involuntarily & imprisoning them in a meat suit & causing them to suffer & die, gambling with someone else's life, it's unconscionable, despicable.
Those are great reasons not to breed and reasons I agree with also, and with AN on the rise I think it’s those reasons that are shaking the natalist core-believes and opening the eyes of so many individuals that are deciding against procreation
