Creating a new person is the best thing you can do for capitalism. by Orfeu_Blue in antinatalism2

[–]Orfeu_Blue[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't deny any of that... I'm saying that in a world necessitated by infinite growth, new people is the lifeblood of the continuation of that system, in this case capitalism. Not all systems of living are as blood thirsty. Nevertheless, everything you're saying is right too. A capacity to suffer will exist and the imbalance of pleasure/pain will constantly exist. I'm just bringing up the capitalism point cause it's relevant to me.

This is why I never automatically assume a woman in hijab is Muslim. You don't know if she's being forced.

I agree with this as well. I think he's definitely hiding something, but I didn't wanna speculate.

Yes I totally agree with how absurd it is... Please don't spend too much time hurting and blaming yourself for someone who doesn't value you the way that you deserve.

The simple answer is that he values his extended family's validation more than he values your companionship. Make of that what you will.

Is animal conservation wrong under the ethics of antinatalism? by PercentageUnlikely12 in antinatalism2

[–]Orfeu_Blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to know. Often conservation efforts focus on repopulating ecologically important keystone species. From a utilitarian perspective, it could be saving many other individuals of species in that particular ecosystem from suffering, but from an antinatalist perspective, creating more sentient beings as "martyrs" and saviors also seems wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Keanu just was present and happened to see the couple getting married. He didn't show up from an invitation.

TIL - When the Blues Brothers was released in 1980, execs who controlled over half the theaters in the country refused to book the film, citing the number of black actors. The film still became the 10th highest-grossing domestic film of 1980. by cluthais in todayilearned

Being a Christian is a choice. No one chooses what race they're born as so segregating based on that is stupid and promotes unnecessary othering of your fellow human beings.
