  • Antinatalism - are you or your parents guilty
     OP - August 27, 2011, 04:26 PM
    Nice intro, although approached from a angle that is not the same approach ii would take (these anti natalist from a hedonistic perspective which i think fails) whereas Schopenhauer  (not a nihilist) approaches it from a better perspective - as the very condition of existence hence satisfaction in hedonism does not exist in the first place

    "If children were brought into the world by an act of pure reason alone, would the human race continue to exist? Would not a man rather have so much sympathy with the coming generation as to spare it the burden of existence, or at any rate not take it upon himself to impose that burden upon it in cold blood?"
    — Arthur Schopenhauer

    Let me tell you what my mother told me one mother's day.

    "You know you should really thank me profusely.
    I came "snap" close to aborting you, you know"

    I just looked at her and walked away in disgust.
    I was an adult when she told me that.

    My mum's said the same thing. And then she told me how she'd aborted another foetus. I had to struggle to keep a straight face, TBH.

    sunbul.. according to my dad, she had like 6 "miscarriages".
    He was never certain she really "lost" them or aborted them.
    Like she would tell him if he didnt do this or that, she might
    lose another baby.  shit like that

    Are you serious?!?!?
    If were you I'd laugh in her face and tell her "tough luck, deal with it" (wrong wording, did not mean it that way, I now second Aurora's comment below)

    She should be thankful that she's lucky enough to have someone like you.

    what is your view


    As for the subject of this thread, here's my stance:
    If you're thinking about having a baby, and you know it will it will suffer horribly its whole life, don't concieve. It's digesting to wait to abort it.
    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star

    In every case it will suffer as it is a thinking being unless it is fortunate enough to be naive, but our society would not allow that.
