Since the Good supreme God didn't imprison them, but an evil one, then freeing themselves by dying should be obvious.

Being dead isn't enough. You need to convince others not to continue the species otherwise this twisted misery will only go on in our absence.

My suicide will just add more suffering to the world, to myself and to my family. While I do not wish to create more life, I want to make the least harm with what I have now. Ideally I would not have been born in the first place (along with everyone in history), but alive now I wish to avoid suffering. This thought process is not illogical nor is it contradictory.

I presume it's because their death, they'd argue, might bring about more suffering to those near them - which is not their intent. The problem with anti-natalists is assuming shit when there is no reason to do so. Whichever way you look at it, the lack of experience/consciousness not entailing any 'badness' and therefore being better than any suffering attached to existence is simply not self-evident. Also the idea that 'non-sufferring', or happiness is static is sort of built into it. Assumptions. It is disconcerting though, how they trigger people to the point of attracting actual threats.

Anti-natalists have not taken that crucial step, that leap of optimism. They fail to realize that it is man that overcomes; it is the human soul that transmutes suffering into power.

Obviously he means against birth and not intending to kill people, but seriously why does the philosophy not extend to animals? Surely they'll never accept it without force, radical action needs to be taken in their case.

Antinatalist, what are YOU doing to end all life on earth, today?

>> No.13297405

this question can't be understood by an idiotic, materialistic perspective. anti natalists stop at (not) reproducing which is obvious enough. their particular goal is to prevent possible suffering, which won't be prevented by suicidal ideation. it'll cause you to suffer even more.

furthermore, suicide except under extreme circumstance is cowardly, and does nothing to help the root cause of the problem. your soul will just end up transmigrating to another body, once again caught in a loop that you may not ever transcend.

>> No.13297408

because they are cowards, but at least they tend to admit this
many anti-natalists admire those that have the courage to kill themselves

>> No.13297428

>>13297105

plotinus knew that their souls would continue to transmigrate, he just said that because he held a grudge against gnostics for coopting neoplatonism in their apologetics, and he didn't seem to understand why it mattered anyway
