/lit/ - Literature

This guy gets it. How did it take so long for philosophy to actually produce something useful?

Is there a better work of philosophy?

There isn't a solution other than end the nightmare all together, life sucked in pre-history and it sucks now.

post books which refute the religious and secular antinatalist argument

Ecclesiastes 4:1

Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed-- and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors-- and they have no comforter.

Ecclesiastes 4:2

And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive.

Ecclesiastes 4:3

But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.

>random anti-natalist
David Benatar is not a random guy. he is a philosophy professor in south africa and he wrote the pic related book. i think he coined the term anti-natalism.

>“It is curious that while good people go to great lengths to spare their children from suffering, few of them seem to notice that the one (and only) guaranteed way to prevent all the suffering of their children is not to bring those children into existence in the first place.”
-David Benatar
