    Wow, the Church of Shar exists in the real world.

    I think your belief system is a rare example actual Evil. You’re literally advocating for the elimination of music, of art, of science, of anyone who could even appreciate those things. No more Rembrandt or Dali or Mozart or … anything. And you’ve gotten so twisted up inside, ostensibly because some people live sad, hard lives, that you think that’s a good thing.

    Dude, find a therapist. This is no way to live.

      Brother if you think advocating for less population is “actual Evil” you’re in for a real hard time out in the world.

        They’re not advocating for a lower population. They’re advocating for human extinction.

        As in, we should all let the torch of consciousness burn out. I don’t know if I’d call it evil, but it’s definitely one of those severely misguided takes that you almost exclusively see on the internet.

      I’m advocating for the elimination of poverty, disease, death, pollution, war, hate, and all human suffering.

      Sure, there are some neat things in this world that are worth experiencing if you were forced to live. If you’re already alive, of course you should seek to find happiness and enjoyment in the little time you have.

      Still doesn’t justify forcing more people into the world to exacerbate the problems we have - overpopulation being a major one.

      It’s not evil. Things were fine before us, and things will be fine after us.

        “Things” were not observable by anything with the capability to designate them as such, so no they were not “fine” in any meaningful sense of the word.

        You’re literally doing the speech the villain does to make him seem reasonable.

        I am literally begging you to find a therapist.

          Semantics, but if you really want to get into it, a lack of ability for things to be good or bad is still better than the existence and perpetuation of suffering.

          Also, responding to differing worldviews with “see a therapist” and comparing them to a villain is fucking disgusting

      Isn’t it just the belief that nobody should have kids though? I’d have thought the while extinction part would rank higher than the culture loss. And evil seems a bit extreme, sounds more like apathy and loss of hope to me. Not saying there aren’t some messed up people in the group though.

        Yeah, this. My biggest issue with the fundamental anti-natalist position is that it’s a totally blackpilled one that ultimately devalues any positive experiences life brings when compared with even the potential for any bad thing to happen, regardless of magnitude.
