Jiwoon Hwang was a prominent figure in the antinatalist movement and was the editor of the antinatalist magazine. He moved to Svalbard where he tried to set up ''Refuge Island'' - basically a homeland for antinatalists where it is illegal to procreate.

Two years ago he took antinatalist philosophy even further and coined ''promortalism''. Not only was it immoral to procreate, it made more logical and ethical sense to cease to exist.

He shortly after killed himself.

Take notes "philosophers", he had a philosophy and worked towards implementing it, right down to his final act. If you and your "e-leaders" aren't living your out your ideals to the best of your ability, you are a larper.

The only antinatalist I respect because he actually followed his own philosophy in practice unlike that coward Ligotti.

Reportedly, Ligotti has struggled mightily with what he calls the Hwang Paradox. But to no avail, thus far. He is cautiously optimistic, however, that the next generation of antinatalists will be able to solve the problem.

antinatalists kind of sad, but mostly funny for the lack of engagement with the rest of philosophical discourse. poor bastard didn't read any plato or buddhism 101, now he's going to reincarnate as something lesser

Antinatalism doesn't mean you have to commit suicide, midwit. It just means you shouldn't reproduce.
Honestly how you people think you can hang in even basic philosophical dialogue boggles my mind.

Easily one of Scorcese's weakest. Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz really feel out of place in 19th century NY, sort of like Orlando Bloom and that actress in Pirates of the Caribbean. The movie is too long and too similar to the rest of his work, only standing out due to the period setting.
You probably only like it because the villain Billy the Butcher is "based" because he's a nativist, although I'll admit Daniel Day-Lewis kills it with that performance. Liam Neeson is also pretty good but has little screen time.

Sorry but antinatalists whine all the time about life being full of suffering. If it's so painful then you can easily end that suffering with a quick jump off of a tall building.
