Not looking good optimist bros..

Here's my antinatalism thesis. Critique at will:

I believe in the fact considering a free sexual marketplace like the liberal world of the present, women will not be worth the investment it takes to acquire them. Because all things rendered equal, they only want the best male possible and would rather be single if that is not the case. You can overcome this hypergamy with hard work but in the end it's a sham. You are simply fooling her into thinking you are valuable. Make no mistake, this is not inherent to women, trannies and employers behave the same way. Someone with high value and power who has the power to decline will always do this to their clients. But while an employer can hire multiple people while monogamous trannies and women can only have one partner. Depriving a child of their mother causes their life to be sabotaged and therefore if women aren't worth it, neither are children.

So far as I can tell for the audience there are two possibilities: Either God exists or He does not.

>God exists
This means there is a heaven and a hell. Choosing to create a life is choosing to bring another soul (without their consent) into the game of either going to heaven (eternal pleasure) or going to hell (eternal torment). Instead of allowing that soul to remain in non-existence, you are forcing it into a game with the highest stakes imaginable. To illustrate this (like a retard) consider the following scenario:
>There is a magical crosswalk where, should you successfully cross to the other side, you will be given $1,000,000,000. However, there is an UNKNOWN chance that a car will come whipping by and hit you causing you to die in the most painful way possible. Would you consider it to be moral to FORCE someone else (without their consent) to cross this magical sidewalk instead of allowing them to remain on one side (where they won't ever get the money but they also won't be hit by the car)? This is my (retarded) metaphor for creating life. Is it moral to "bring someone off the bench" (the bench of non-existence) into the game of going to hell or going to heaven?

Schopenhauer was an idealist. And ancients weren't materialistic.

>It is curious that anti-natalism did not become a prominent area of thought until only recently
I think it is the reverse. Pic related (and this is only a small sample). Sextus describes tribes that would sing dirges of mourning upon the birth of a child.

>Antinatalists are so cringe bro
>The stoics? The Buddhists? I love those guys!
