  • In America if you get anywhere near the sacred pool, the dear leader will order your arrest and convict you of sabotage without any evidence. Also in America dear leader survives many REAL assassination attempts, and if you say otherwise you will be under constant surveillance by the government.

    Ok I’ll explain better. First I don’t believe in souls, it was a way to express existence, my rationale is that you cannot say you did something for someone who doesn’t exist. So when people say, “I decided to have a son out of love for him” this cannot be, you might want to have a son, like gamer want to have GTA6, but the developers will not say “we decide to create GTA6 because we love GTA6” that wouldn’t make sense. I support freedom for all, if they wish to have 1001 kids they can do so, but let’s not be naive, people do it for many reasons but in my opinion none of those reasons are selfless. Also I happen to adhere to Benatar’s Asymmetry Argument. It states: -Pain is bad. Pleasure is good. -But absent pain is good — even if no one’s there to enjoy that absence. -Absent pleasure isn’t bad — unless someone exists to miss it. So: Existing = you get pain (bad) + pleasure (good). Never existing = no pain (good) + no missed pleasure (neutral, since no one’s deprived). Conclusion: non-existence never loses. Existence risks suffering for no matching benefit. So it’s better never to be born.


  • Yes that’s true, we see in developed countries where women get education and choice a lot of them decide not to have children. I am from the EU and even here me and my whife feel a lot of pressure from society to have children, it makes me quite angry, cause I am sure a lot of people end up giving into the pressure and having kids cause “It’s the thing to do” and not because they truly want to, I have seen it with my friends, we are all on our 30s. This pressure made me think even more about why would I want to have a kid, I have thought about a lot, and let me tell you, the future doesn’t seem to be favourable, plus, I have a genetic disorder that might get passed down to a kid.
