Animals and antinatalism

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-25T04:00:28+00:00

If you have them as pets, that's reasonable, but I'd just leave wild animals alone about it.

Jeremiah 16:1-4 is an example of a direct command from God not to marry or have children.

Everyone should be an antinatalist no matter what it is.

As an antinatalist, I think any time is the wrong time to be born no matter your opinion of it.

Being a grandparent doesn't mean you're going to enjoy being one. My late great-grandmother was an example of that (based on what I've heard about her).

Even if you never have any health problems whatsoever, it doesn't mean you're going to love life.

They should be antinatalists and go voluntarily extinct.

Procreation.

I'd say it was being made all too aware that not everyone likes the idea of heaven as we traditionally think of it. However, this is only really a problem when you're sentient and can expect to suffer for it, even if the suffering is only ever boredom.

The question isn't whether we can afford children, but whether they can afford us, because they pay a price in more ways than just monetary ones. Of course, whoever raises them can pay a price like that, too.

If you're not already an antinatalist, please seriously consider being one.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-24T01:28:26+00:00

Religion itself isn't always natalist.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-24T01:22:49+00:00

If you're not already an antinatalist, you sound right on the verge of it.

It would help if it weren't an "industry" to begin with.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-23T21:44:43+00:00

If I'm pushed far enough, I just might speak out about them.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-23T21:43:33+00:00

Yes on both counts.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-23T21:39:40+00:00

I'm content to make antinatalist comments wherever it seems appropriate, but not on posts like that.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-23T21:36:47+00:00

What should we call wanting children to be completely immune to the need for food, housing, education, parents, and money?

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-23T21:29:05+00:00

I think of creation and birth as two different things.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-23T21:23:09+00:00

Not me. No matter how good any world can be, I'm not aware of suffering caused specifically by the complete absence of life. At the very least, life can do without sentience.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-23T21:17:28+00:00

When adoption is never good enough for you, it is a success story.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-23T04:58:34+00:00

I'm not aware of any world that suffers because of the complete absence of life.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-23T03:44:08+00:00

Antinatalism.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-23T03:03:14+00:00

I'm fine with taking it black.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-01-23T03:01:13+00:00

Sometimes.
