Is this the biggest fedora book of all time?

I didn't get why people say it's such shocking writing, it's literally what a 14 year old emo kid would think of.

Daily reminder that antinatilists are just infected with a virus of a meme that turns the will against life and therefore against itself.

No need to take them seriously.

Never said it was wrong, but it was hilariously juvenile. Nothing he said was original or unique. Teenagers think of that stuff.

Didn't read that one but I've read Teatro Grottesco (a collection of short horror stories) and it was neither scary nor unnerving

Is he autistic?

“One cringes to hear scientists cooing over the universe or any part thereof like schoolgirls over-heated by their first crush. From the studies of Krafft-Ebbing onward, we know that it is possible to become excited about anything—from shins to shoehorns. But it would be nice if just one of these gushing eggheads would step back and, as a concession to objectivity, speak the truth: THERE IS NOTHING INNATELY IMPRESSIVE ABOUT THE UNIVERSE OR ANYTHING IN IT.”

I have, but there's world of difference between misanthropic omnicide/efilism and philanthropic antinatalism. Breeding is selfish and harmful whether the fact is stated by an emo goth on the internet or David Benatar, Ph.D in a book published by Oxford University Press.

he might as well since his argument is hinged around his perception of life being unsatisfying, not realizing the subjectivity of his assessment in general
