    The “anti-natalist” philosopher David Benatar believes that life is so painful that human beings should stop having children for reasons of compassion. http://nyer.cm/MFcW9Wd

        Also, Benatar's negative utilitarianism builds his conclusions right into his axioms. It's transparently circular reasoning, and bad-faith philosophizing.

        It is perfectly reasonable to suggest people who find life generally miserable shouldn't have children. I would encourage them to refrain from passing on their misery. The problem is when they prescribe the 'solution' for people who generally find life a joy. How stupid is that?

        Anti-natalism philosophy is sneaky propaganda, as is the cuckoldry - work all your life for your carrots and shiny trinket screens, foregoing the things that have always given meaning and purpose to ordinary lives, and leave the future to the descendants of others.

        These ideas were shared by ancient philosophers and now it's more popular than ever.

        Since I'm not planning on having any, whatever your number is, double it. Guess that wasn't a serious answer. :)
