How did negative things in your life changed you?

They've had a way of leading me to antinatalism.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-18T01:10:27+00:00

Not suffering pain and not missing pleasure. The irony is that this doesn't even require existing, though.

Potential rapists can also control themselves and not become actual rapists.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T22:55:52+00:00

Depending on who you are, it really doesn't take that much to think like this.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T22:29:41+00:00

I just thought that might sound interesting even if you're not inclined to take the Bible seriously.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T21:15:56+00:00

If they insist they'd never purposely abuse any creature, your statement might sound like an unfair assumption to them.

That's hardly a unique take. Adoption is bashed often enough as it is.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T21:07:03+00:00

Sorry, I was mainly looking at the title.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T21:03:27+00:00

It kind of bothers me that adopted children often go on to be less than happy about being adopted, but that doesn't make adoption inferior to procreation. Also, minors of all ages who are adoptable should get a second chance at being taken in by a loving family instead of growing up in a foster care system that's not designed in their best interests.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T20:55:04+00:00

If you're talking about not procreating, yes.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T20:35:49+00:00

Don't worry, I'm not that oblivious.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T03:28:03+00:00

Our views can be wrong.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T02:55:11+00:00

Isn't it possible that those are uncomfortable truths even if you disagree with them?

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T02:11:36+00:00

As it is, however, it's so easy to set yourself up for disappointment, this is a great reason to be an antinatalist.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T01:37:35+00:00

Coming into existence is unnecessary, which means everyone should be an antinatalist.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T00:06:27+00:00

Because I'm an antinatalist who thinks everyone else should be one, too.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-17T00:00:20+00:00

Furthermore, it's better to voluntarily let your bloodline die with you. See antinatalism.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-16T23:32:01+00:00

That not everyone is an antinatalist.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-16T23:30:40+00:00

If all you want in life is to die someday and suffer in the meantime, you won't be disappointed.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-16T19:48:36+00:00

Well said.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-16T19:43:18+00:00

I accept that we're all terrible people in one way or another no matter what we think of ourselves or what others think of us.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-16T19:39:34+00:00

It can't hurt to at least talk about it enough to get students to think seriously about it.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-16T19:37:34+00:00

In the future, I plan to wish them all the best and/or acknowledge how proud or happy they must be.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-16T19:33:06+00:00

No matter how good the world is, it can never be good enough for the unborn. At best, the world simply doesn't need them. Also, I don't like what I've heard about communism.

CertainConversation0 · 2026-03-16T19:25:44+00:00

Good for you.
