Woah Nietzsche was right the Overman is here

First and foremost: Let me make myself perfectly clear.

I am not an anti-natalist, nor do I discriminate against disabled people. I believe wholeheartedly that they can live fulfilling lives and contribute to society. However, the fact of the matter is that no one chooses to be born. And, in many cases, no one chooses to have a disability. If you willingly bring a child into this world, armed with the knowledge that they will suffer not only disproportionately to a fully-abled child, but they will most likely suffer the same way that you once have. If you make a choice to birth a child like this, you are simply a cruel egoist who rides off their own emotions without thinking about future consequences. Just adopt someone jfc.

Fun Fact: The US used to run a eugenics project in the early 1900's they never talk about. This program actually inspired the Nazi eugenics program.

Anyone up for adoption is typically useless. With few exceptions they are all fucked in the head. If you can have a marriage and raise a family in a healthy way, you're better off just having a kid yourself.

Yeah generally most adopted kids are from broken families and ones with bad underlying genetics, especially wither kinds of genetics that predispose people towards degenerate behaviour.
I like when I see a successful adopted person though because it seems testament to the idea of nurture being at least not useless

obviously you have no idea about the eurofaggot adoption cartel, perfectly normal and healthy families are purposefully broken apart and their kids put under government care to eventually be disseminated to exclusively homosexual couples. eastern euro countries are overwhelmingly targetted because eurotrannies have a grudge against conservative, god fearing slavs who reject their cultural AIDS

It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, in order to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind.

Nice trips. Beware that while gilbert's syndrome is correlated with better cardiovascular health, it's also often correlated with gallbladder dysfunction. If you start having pains in your upper right torso that radiate out to your back and then your whole body and that grow to be debilitating, make sure you get to a hospital and ask them to do an ultrasound on your gallbladder.

Ahem

Is adopting the ultimate cuckoldry?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than adopting a child. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are feeding, clothing, raising and rearing someone else’s child for at least 18 years solely so they can enhance their biological parents reproductive success. All the hard work you put into your adopted child - reading them stories at bedtime, making them go to sports practice, making sure they had a healthy diet, educating them, playing with them. All of it has one simple result: their body and mind are more capable of successfully passing on the genes of someone who isn’t you.

Raised the perfect person? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a close relative of your own who had nothing to do with the way they grew up, who marries them. They get to reproduce with them. Their offspring get the benefits of you adopted child’s kind and sweet personality that came from the way you raised them.

As a man who adopts, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 20 years of your life simply to raise a person for another person to succeed reproductively. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.

It really isn't different though.

Disabilities aren't 100% either.

"Disabilities" are on a scale in terms of severity and risk (just like mental and physical attributes) How severe is too severe? How much risk is too much risk? And who decides?

And what about wealth? That's something that's much more concrete and quantifiable. If disabled people shouldn't be allowed to have children, what about poor families?

What is the alternative? Let the children grow up in foster care, in which case they will become criminals and fucked up? The children will have a better chance if a decent family raises them.

I'm honestly curious to what your opinion is on what we do with children in foster care.

Imagine having such a weird, warped world view. I'm glad people like you are on the absolute fringe of society and will stay that way.

>>16073403

>>16072625
IQ is a highly heritable trait. Two idiots very, very rarely have a genuinely intelligent child.

>>16073454
Because killing people because they might become criminals is very unethical, and is punishment for pre-crime, which I think someone on 4chan who is probably right wing would see the issue with, what if the current government adopted this?

Most importantly because their are better alternatives, such as attempting to give these people a better shot at life, lessening the chance of them becoming criminals, rather than killing thousands of people because at some point in their life they will probably commit a crime, regardless of the severity of that crime.

I can't think of a single ethical system where this would be acceptable, Deontology, utilitarianism, christian ethics, egoism?

>>16073495
But why is okay to kill them when they're unborn for the same reason? I'm looking for consistency. If it's okay to kill the unborn because they're going to have to go through foster care then it should be okay to kill the born who are in foster care.

>>16073527
Abortion is okay if it happens before their is any sentience in the fetus, because then it isn't killing anything, therefor it isn't killing something because of what it one day will become.

Abortion is important primarily because people have a right to bodily autonomy as long as that doesn't harm anyone else, (within reason), which if a fetus is not conscious or sentient it doesn't. If it gets to the point when a fetus becomes a sentient creature then a fetus shouldn't be aborted except under extreme circumstances.

>>16073588
So sentience is what gives us the right to life. What is sentience? When you say bodily autonomy also gives us the right to kill the unborn is this being construed as a property right, as in if you trespass on my property I should be able to kill you? I think most people would agree that we have certain duties towards the guests we invite onto our property, including not shooting them in the head the second we decide we no longer want them on our property.

>>16073638
Sentience is the ability to feel and sense, and is what should be used to measure if something is alive, otherwise you would have to argue it's immoral to kill plants, or germs, or anything that has any simulation response. Before 30 weeks after conception the fetus' brain activity is extremely limited and components related to information processing are extremely underdeveloped. This is why aborting after 30 weeks is immoral, as after 30 weeks the lower boundary for what would be considered sentience develops, and aborting it would be killing a life form for the future potential of what might happen to it.

Since aborting before 30 weeks doesn't kill anything that we can class as sentient, your second point is irrelevant. It's also very strange to consider the self a "property" in the capitalist or political economy sense of the word, but even if you do, it would be be more akin to removing plants that attracts unwanted rodents to your lawn, as these plants are "alive", but not sentient, and although they will one day attract sentient rodents to your lawn, you can remove the plants before this happens. That way the potential sentient life forms never occur, so you don't have to kill them, because you removed the non-sentient life forms.

>>16073906
Yes, they also have sense and consciousness, and can even react to stimuli, (although this is limited, and usually through changes in brain activity, however these are all things that a fetus before 30 weeks cannot do).

Is someone who's brain-dead sentient? No, and they are only kept alive by machines, which is why "pulling the plug", isn't unethical.

>>16071000
hotsexymama912

>>16073964
Brain-dead man will never become sentient, unlike people in comas.

>>16073964
I don't know where you get 30 weeks from because brainwaves can be detected in the unborn by 40 days, effectively making abortion illegal if your standard was actually applied. Why is sentience what makes somebody a person rather than the nature or what something is? From the moment of conception there is an organism with unique human DNA and it's is growing.

>>16073964
Can a computer be sentient and have a right to life?

>>16074000
What's your point? People in comas are already sentient, that's why people don't generally pull the plug on people who are showing brain activity in coma, and it would be unethical to kill them. Fetus before 30 weeks aren't sentient so it isn't unethical to abort them because you aren't killing a living, sentient creature.

My original point was it's unethical to kill orphans just because it's likely they will one day become criminals, another anon brought up abortion as a red herring, but whatever.

Is reality even real anymore. I make fun of these magician metaphysicians or whatever talking about kali and earth being a simulated hell or whatever or some shit on this board, but these months have just been to unreal. Is anyone even real.

>>16074036
If a computer possessed the computational power to feel, sense and experience subjectivity, independent of human inputs then it would be sentient by definition, at that point it would probably be far removed from what we understand as computers at the moment, and at that point it would be unethical to "kill it".

>>16074015
I've already said, "Before 30 weeks after conception the fetus' brain activity is extremely limited and components related to information processing are extremely underdeveloped. This is why aborting after 30 weeks is immoral, as after 30 weeks the lower boundary for what would be considered sentience develops, and aborting it would be killing a life form for the future potential of what might happen to it.", is it immoral to kill plants or germs? No, because they aren't sentient, they don't have a subjective will and want to live, because they aren't sentient.

Okay, but it isn't a sentient creature, by the definition you just gave it would me unethical to remove a cancerous tumor, as that's an organism with human DNA that grows. The reason you don't mind removing that is because it's not sentient. Sentience is the litmus test for what is a alive and deserving of rights.

>>16074139
Why is sentience what makes somebody a person rather than the nature or what something is? From the moment of conception there is an organism with unique human DNA and it's is growing. I don't know where you're getting this 30 weeks number from but you're mistaken. Brain activity can be detected in the unborn by 40 days.

Yes, this went a bit outside the initial scope.

>>16074139
We are going in circles. Why is it not unethical to remove a tumor? It has unique human DNA and is growing? You must acknowledge the reason why is because it isn't sentient.

Brain waves are not sentience, I literally explained it in my post, brain activity is extremely limited. Below is one source, but there are plenty of others, you are confusing sentience with any brain activity.

>>16074212
Once it becomes a sentient creature it would be unethical to kill it, but if it isn't a sentient creature, it isn't unethical to remove it. Same with a fetus. The ethics of something aren't dependent on the potentiality of what may eventually happen.

>>16074443
Ethics is dependent on whether the act is moral or not, not what may or may not happen because of the act. There is a shopping list of reasons why consequentialism is a bad ethical system. How can you even be antiabortion if you're a consequentialist? Would you abort a sentient fetus if that fetus would grow up to kill 2 children? Under a non-consequentialist ethical system, (what I'm suggesting), you wouldn't,as it's wrong to kill a sentient creature. However under a consequentialist ethical system, (what you're suggesting), it wouldn't be unethical, because you can prevent the negative potentiality. You proposing two contradictory things.

>>16074515
>Would you abort a sentient fetus if that fetus would grow up to kill 2 children?
Have you invented the time machine to see that?

>>16074554
It's a hypothetical you donkey, if a time machine exists or doesn't, it still shows consequentialism is wrong. The fact we don't know the future makes it consequentialism even more unreliable, how can you judge the ethics of an act based on it's consequences if we can never know what the consequences will be?

>>16074515
>How can you even be antiabortion if you're a consequentialist?
Let's see: abortion permanently ends the life of a fetus, but birth will inconvenience mother more. If you consider life more valuable than temporary comfort, you should be antiabortion if you are a consequentialist.

>>16074575
You have no idea what the effect of that child will be on the world, and what damage/pain/suffering it will be responsible for. If you're a consequentialist the only ethical thing to do regarding children is never get pregnant in the first place.

>>16074571
If we clearly know several consequences of some scenario, but it also has some consequences we don't know about, then you should judge it by measuring the known consequences. Sounds pretty simple?
Anyway, imprisoning someone because otherwise he will kill someone else sounds pretty sane. Killing is trickier, but doubt that even a deontologist will not be against killing a a terrorist to prevent a bomb explosion.

>>16070947

not him but I think it's a question of degree. what are the odds that your child will be condemned to a life of suffering? being born into poverty doesn't; preclude one from a good life, even if they stay poor. being born with a crippling disability is much more likely to stop you from finding happiness. there's not really a clear answer to this, but some cases are more obvious than others

Fetuses display behaviours like thumb-sucking and voice recognition long before 30 wks., which are evidence of sensation (and fairly coordinated sensation at that) — which is a less nebulous benchmark than 'sentience' (we haven't nailed down precisely what sentience is in adults yet).

I agree that there's a major moral difference between aborting a literal "clump of cells" and killing an orphan toddler, but I don't think your very lax abortion timeframe does your argument any favours.

As for the eugenics issue... I think we should be frontloading the burden as much as possible. Creatures such as in OP's post should be sterilized, along with certain types of criminals and chronic welfare recipients. I believe in aggressive eugenics, but rapid eugenic impact can be achieved without killing those already (or soon to be) born.

Literally nigger philosophy.

What's a "soilad"? Yeah, it is cuckery (by definition)... I didn't disagree with that. Still, I think there's a significant difference between a cuck who raises a kid from their own biological collective, and an über-cuck who raises nigger spawn (thereby betraying not only their direct lineage but their ethnicity/race in general).

>>16075347
I'm on 4chan buddy, I don't have a wife or a gf. I wasn't encouraging adoption or cuckoldry, just pointing out a salient difference in circumstances. At least the ethnocentric cuck can still be useful to his biological collective, as can non-reproducing members (by providing various forms of support to that collective).

>>16072776
different poster, but poor people should reproduce less than they currently do for sure

What the fuck would being poor have to do with anything?

>>16070951
Yeah, our culture practices DYSgenics...

>>16072607
>does that mean poor people shouldn't have children?
Yes, unless they can afford to pay for them. Welfare recipients should be given mandatory birth control shots.
>Or that people with below average (which is 50%...) physical and mental stats shouldn't have children?
Of course they shouldn't. Under Darwinian conditions they probably would never have bred anyway, and anyway if they are mentally/physically deficient then any children they have will grow up under conditions little short of abusive. Think of the children!

>>16070947
That baby may one day become concious enough to despise her own mother for subjugating her to a life of hinderance, misery, and pain, if her capacity to even think allows her so.

How about YOU adopt those orphans, you obviously know what it's like to be selfless. Hell, you'd probably think burying your body is selfless because you aren't donating your cadaver to science, or living is selfish because there are so many people out there who need spare parts and organs. No, choosing to have your own child over adopting an orphan is not selfish.

>>16071931
Perhaps the anti-natalists should contribute a little, too.

>you are selfish
>no, I don't want children; I want spare money, time, and to pursue my dreams like I'm having a midlife crisis
>no, I don't want to adopt either, because I don't want children, and I gain from not having children

Sentience is the ability to feel and sense, and is what should be used to measure if something is alive, otherwise you would have to argue it's immoral to kill plants, or germs, or anything that has any simulation response
I disagree, the capacity for sentience is what should be taken into account. We'd be able to kill lobotomized or otherwise brain-dead individuals, too, right? Humans should not be murdered not because they are sentient, but because they have the capacity to be sentient, including those who's capacity is hampered (because they're sleeping or brain-dead or what have you).

>>16074055
You are killing a living creature. Is it sentient? No. But what is sentience? Brain waves? Then specify- if someone has no brain waves, it is moral to kill them.

>>16074139
That would be incorrect, a cancerous tumor has the DNA of the host, while the offspring has a unique genetic combination. It has the capacity to develop sentience, whatever that means. It better be something related to brain activity, otherwise we can kill all non-human life without compunction.

>>16074273
If sentience is "the ability to perceive things and feel," then that is too lax of a criterion for a worthy life (that, if taken, would be considered murdered).

>>16074515
I agree, consequentialism is idiotic if taken to its illogical conclusion (which it never is, for the sake of people actually acting). This is why Utilitarians need a big sky daddy AI to tell them what actions they should perform and which would not increase maximum pleasure. I still think it would be immoral to abort a human fetus because it is a human being, sentient or not. If you think its species is an arbitrary thing to get caught up on, see my point on capacity.

>>16074590
I am inclined to agree (knowing how most AN arguments are rooted in Utilitarianism), but there is a point beyond which consequences can't be taken into account if you want to be effective.

>>16075679
China bought Lucasfilm?

>>16076229
It's capacity to do so is hindered by it's genetic disease, but it's still there. No harm done if you're brain dead, right? I'm sure anti-natalists would die to live the same- without a care in the world and virtually brain dead (though going there would just be the next step from their philosophy)

>>16071025
Exactly. Adoption or surrogate birth is always an option

I'm somewhat amazed that The Brothers Karamazov has not been mentioned yet.

Where is cuckoldry involved in adoption?

>>16071385
How could you call what that child will be forced to go through anything short of injustice?
