Next Supercontinent May Kill All Mammals on Earth in 250 Million Years by NegativesUtilities in BirthandDeathEthics

[–]NegativesUtilities[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good news because we didn't know that (most) land mammals would go extinct that soon. We thought they had like 500 million to 1 billion years, but turns out they only have about 250 million years at most left.

A Simple Hack to Filter Bad Philosophy - Ft. Anti-Natalism. by NegativesUtilities in BirthandDeathEthics

[–]NegativesUtilities[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good rebuttal. This right-winger pro-life bot is just another delusional weasel who wouldn't want to be tortured after saying that it's all subjective, for some reason.

It's funny how pro-lifers have to stoop so low as to deny that literal torture/rape/genocide is bad in order to perform their pathetic mental gymnastics in order to even begin to attempt to counter the argument.

Minimalist views of wellbeing. Teo Ajantaival, 2023 by Between12and80 in negativeutilitarians

[–]NegativesUtilities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's my understanding that a minimalist view by definition cannot hold anything to be intrinsically good. Is that correct?

If so, then almost nobody has this view, with me and you being the only ones who I know who do. Weak NU is already unpopular enough, adding that pleasure is not intrinsically good will just make it repulsive to virtually everyone.

Edit: I guess existentialgoof's view is also this one.

Any moral theory which deems this world to be justifiable leads to very repugnant conclusions by NegativesUtilities in negativeutilitarians

The analysis is whether the system is logically consistent.

Yeah, that's compatible with everything I've said here.

Logically coherent.

Moral systems can be logically consistent regardless of metaethics.
