I keep getting surprised by antinatalist quotations from unlikely sources. Its like antinatalism is the elephant in the room, something all the big brains realize but never take up the cause of because of how futile it is. Is antinatalism the ultimate redpill?

Its only of concern if you believe in morality.

might as well believe in morality. The alternative is total insanity. Morality at the very least, is a practical axiom that produces functional results.

I just finished both Conspiracy Against the Human Race and Better Never to Been Born last weekend. Not many people like to study it because it leads to a very pessimistic (in the philosophical sense) view on human life. Society can't funtion if everyone believed it so the people who do get bred out.

But if the functional results are antinatalism, then are they that functional? Isn't that insanity as well?

not if AI can maintain the functionality of civilization

antinatalism isn't just a utilitarian philosophy. One person can commit themselves to antinatalism as part of their consideration of the practical imperative.
