>In my dealings with people, I have noticed that I do not speak much to the middle sort, whether of intelligence or character. My contact with very simple as well as highly developed natures, however, presents no difficulty. I seem to resemble a pianist playing only the keys at the extreme ends of the keyboard and just having to make do without the rest. It’s either peasants and fishermen or people of the highest quality. The rest of my social dealings consist of arduous attention to the mundane—rummaging through my pockets looking for change. I often get the feeling that I am moving within a world for which I am not adequately equipped.

you're almost there, you simply don't realise that it actually filters out subhuman middlebrow "analysts" such as yourself

>describe why you're here in clear and concise prose
I don't trust the majority of book reviewers, particularly those who write for a publication as they are limited in what they can say by the interests of the publication. /lit/ is the only place where I can people saying exactly what they really think without a filter.
>Years ago, I used to think that there were many people on this site with an above average IQ. Now I realise that this clearly isn't the case, or, at least, if it was the case, it isn't the case now.
This is a no midwits club. You have to be a galaxy brained autist or a mouth breathing shitposter to enjoy it here.

If existence is so bad then why do most people not kill themselves? You can’t rationalise your way out of the impulse to continue to live. If you try to, you’re being disingenuous or at best misrepresenting what the majority of people regard as a deeply held truth - I.e. that their continued existence is a good thing. Conversely, if you claim dying is painful there are plenty of ways to kill yourself these days that are pain-free. You can talk about how you’re alive anyway now so you might as well keep living but you’re grounding that in an emotional response too, which you’ve seemingly dismissed as an illegitimate form of moral argument. So, when an average human being reproduces as an expression of their deeply held (emotional) values for continuity of community, culture, family and so forth they are expressing an aesthetic preference, vindicated through their own lived experiences and imparted on non-moral entities (hypothetical people). Those newly conceived people, for the most part, grow up and live in ways that further vindicate to themselves those aesthetic preferences. There may be some disagreements about whether life or too many people is a good thing but most will agree, as most life forms tend to do, that their own lives are worth living. Both the natalist and antinatalist positions therefore come down to aesthetic preferences and conception as a singular isolated act on average cannot properly be said to be immoral because it tends to be felt to be retroactively justified by the person conceived.

By the way, I’ve also met David Benatar in person AMA.

Checked.

I think that's true, but in a funny way... It's like pic related meme, at a low IQ people 'understand' such discrimination on an instinctual level. With somewhat higher IQ, people become more empathetic (empathy benefits from abstraction), but aren't smart enough to assess their empathetic impulses critically and moderate them. Properly high-IQ people are able to understand the wisdom of such discrimination from an analytical perspective.

This is all that needs to be said, really. It's mediocre, which is much worse than being low brow.
