If life is so bad and if suffering is so terrible, it does follow that you should probably off yourself.

>> No.12089783

My problem with antinatalism is that it's entirely based on subjectivity. The idea that suffering is bad is subjective, many people view suffering as a positive, necessary, or trancendental experience. Intelligent and self-concsiouss life is the rarest thing in the universe and you are removing the possibility of someone experiencing that by assuming they will reach the same conclusions as you (view life as suffering). And supposing for arguments sake that a person does reach the same conclusions as you, they have the option of checking out by suicide at any time anyway.

Of course it is. Just because there's a legal framework where you're allowed to do this doesn't change the meaning of actual actions.

>"He commanded the earth to bring forth all living things —animals, trees, and herbs. The sea he commanded to bring forth fish; and the air, birds of the heavens. And he pondered on making man to serve him; he took clay of the earth and made man like unto himself. And he then bade an angel of the second heaven to enter the body of clay. Of this body he took a part and made another body in the form of a woman" and bade an angel of the first heaven to enter into it. And the angels grieved deeply that they thus had a mortal form imposed upon them and that they now existed in different forms. And Satan bade them to perform the works of the flesh in their bodies of clay, but they did not know how to commit sin. The originator of sin accomplished his purpose by his seduction, in this way: He planted a paradise and set men therein and bade them not to eat of its fruits. The devil entered Paradise and planted a bed of reeds in the midst of Paradise; of his spittle he made a serpent and bade him remain in the reeds. Thus the devil concealed the knowledge of his deceit so that they would not perceive his treachery. He went in to them saying, 'Eat of all the fruit in Paradise, but of the fruit of good and evil eat not.' Thereafter the wicked devil, entering into the evil serpent, deceived the angel who was in the form of a woman and poured out upon her head a longing for sin," and Eve's desire was like a glowing oven. Forthwith, the devil in the form of the serpent came out of the reeds and sated his lust on her with the serpent's tail. That is why [the offspring] are called not sons of God but sons of the devil and sons of the serpent, fulfilling the diabolic desires of their father even unto the end of the world. After this, the devil poured out his longing upon the head of the angel who was in Adam; and [both angels] were affected by a lust for debauchery, together begetting children of the devil and of the serpent, until the consummation of the world."

Birth brings with it the guarantee of suffering independant of the sufferer's will. If you were to put a big red button that said "ARE YOU COOL WITH BEING BORN?" in front of a soul before it would be born this would be a non-issue for me. All that matters is that you make the biggest choice for a person before they even get to comprehend that choice, and by the time they can grasp it it's too late. They've already suffered and killing themselves won't undo the suffering (wanting to kill yourself is typically only caused by suffering after all). I don't care that many people do like being alive, I care that some people don't, and there's no way to know which will pop out of your wife until it's too late.

Impregnation is a filthy, inhumane act. In some species, the male actually inseminates the female by violently impaling her in the chest or belly, leaving an open wound that is either fatal to the female or leaves her scarred for the rest of her life. The beastly motivation that informs this insect's behavior is the same which moves man to do the same to his female; and all society, all higher culture involves a move away from the carnal act, away from sultry heat and exchange of fluids, and into concentration and mutual respect. Men have forged this social manner between themselves, and it is only because they have have not extended this same respect to women that the species has survived, continuing its infatuation with events and wars and happenings, the spectacles that keep it entertained while it feasts and feeds like maggots in the world's festering underbelly. If man were truly social toward women, it would require that sexual demonstrations be shunned both in public and in private, and only then could we move towards a free and just end to all the violence and suffering of the world, which is symbolized by the Ouroboros, the endless cycle, perpetual, absurd, aimless. Nothing is more anathema to humanity and love than constant killing, the lust for conquest and acquisition and self-assertion which tells the same old, weary tale, generation after generation, without end or purpose, without thinking; the tendency of this population, this throbbing mass, this herd toward irrationality and wild inebriation is the ancient force responsible for the constant, recurring calamity which befalls society, which befalls the shining individual wishing to carry the others forward, towards knowledge, towards peace, towards an end, and away from the grotesque and inhumane ideas of colonization and fleshly fecundity. The greatest triumph is chastity, devotion to which awakes the slumbering spirit which shines a light upon the world and frees it from senselessness and obscurity.

Anti-natalism isthe product of evolutionarily unfit pseuds. The ad hominems are to combat their toxic feelings of inferiority and Jewish levels of verbal projection.

If a philosophy can’t yield a rational argument for long it is likely shit, and no smart person would take the time to construct a tight argument for anti-natalism. It is self-defeating by Kant’s philosophy, and there is more rigor to Kantian logic than anti-natalism logic.

Do you get it yet? Anti-natalists are pussies and should be put in front of firing lines because they surrender their evolutionary fitness by upholding such a philosophy.

Cause almost everyone will tell you they rather have been born. Antinatalists literally have to presume everyone is too retarded to notice their suffering.

Yes, buddhism literally took off in the lower stratas of Indian society thousands of years ago (where we most assume that the “commoner” then was far dumber than his contemporary iteration) because those were social classes most prone to suffering. The intellectual ego-stroking of antinatalists derives from the fact that it was conceived by highly privileged westerners with no external source for suffering so they blame introspection and thought (by extension their own intelligence) for their suffering. Instead of assuming a more practical position of quietism, they decided to profess their depression as some kind of moral standard.

You assume the only reason people go on living is because of life's positives when something as simple as their religion could be why they continue on suffering

But that's besides the point. Antinatalism isn't a numbers game. The point isnt that "more people dont want to be alive than do" or "there's more positives to life than negatives", its that the negatives exist at all. Most people would agree being exposed to negative things is bad. Most people would agree not being exposed to positive things isn't inherently bad. Being born exposes you to negatives. Not being born doesn't expose you to positives, but that isn't an inherently bad thing.That's all antinatalism claims. Anything else is fluff glued on by people offended by it or are otherwise trying to dismantle it by misrepresenting it.

Buddhism has only become available to the general populace through simplifying of its practices and subordinating them to monks.

why does everyone pretend to be an ascetic or something when antinatalism is brought up and pretend that they would actually willingly undergo suffering if given the choice

sufferring is "bad" and everyone agrees on that except contrarians who don't actually believe otherwise. Sufferring can lead to good but the suffering itself sucks. You're arguing hot is cold for the sake of prolonging the argument.

There are different schools, most of which are centered upon abstinence and visualization/meditation to detach yourself from the world. Some schools go as far as embracing death. There's a Japanese cult that adorns themselves with the tokens usually given to the dead. My favorite is the practice of live mummification (miira in Japan)

In Buddhism it's accompanied through visualization (e.g. imagining a putrefying woman to detach yourself from carnality) and mandalas.

In more mainstream schools of Buddhism (the ones that have mass appeal) it's much more easy: you spin a wheel or have a monk give you a blessing so when you die you become a bodhisattva, but without all the hard work.
