Honest question: Why don’t antinatalists advocate exterminating all life if they know existence is net suffering? Lack of consent/just pussies or secret plan?

Neither, but i’m pretty unfamiliar with antinatalist arguments so maybe you can you answer: do i have the net suffering premise wrong, or does consent or something else trump the utilitarian part?

a lot of people think that death is part of the harm of creating life - also nobody really has the ability to kill everyone

consent is also part of the reason people think it’s wrong to create people - I realize it sounds crazy

It makes quite a bit of sense in that way but I think all should still think it absurd. A cold universe with nothing to operate within it? Lame. So wasteful really.

Nope. It literally just makes no sense. Not that it's specifically wrong so much as unnecessary as a position. Trying to turn a thought experiment into an IDW like group. I'm not having it. Have you seen these universes mang? Get you some more ppl to appreciate them. The Universe
