How is anti-natalism a worthwhile position? It seems lofty at best and actively damaging at worst.

The people who will be reached by it are likely first-world, they probably read books, they're probably wealthier than the global average, they're probably more compassionate and stoic than average, etc. The people who won't be reached by it likely aren't like this. So, in just a single generation anti-natalism would fuck over mankind because shitty people don't subscribe to it. Given this, why are there still people pushing anti-natalism?

Are they simply misguided? What am I missing here?

Because David Benatar said so.

Pic related, it's him.

Why aren't there any pics of David Benatar on the internet?

What does he even look like?
