Firstly. Thanks for this discussion. It's interesting. I think mostly I hold my anti natalist belief is because my life has been really bad and I could never justify inflicting this on another human being (if they were experiencing what I have experienced). I believe I would have been better off never having existed.

In relation to
>pleasure is good, so avoiding pleasure is bad
in which case there is some negative weight placed on not existing.

The negative weight is not on not existing it is on the asymmetry of life in the living. Non-existence has to be brought into the conversation as it is the only ethical way to prevent exposure to the asymmetry. At least this is my take on it. If your already here, hedonism all the way...
