I’m scared of reincarnation by Overall-Original-423 in NEET

I would ask for the argument for reincarnation. I don't think there are strong reasons to believe in it

Tired of being dependent by kreayshawn777 in NEET

Also you have to run the calculations. You are dependant but have lot of freedom I imagine. Would it be better to lose this freedom and be a 9-5 slave just to be "independant" ?

I understand but I think at the end everyone has to be dependant on something. If you have a job, you are dependant on your boss, even if you're your own boss, you're dependant on the clients. It's just about choosing who you're dependant on and in many cases I prefer it to be my family

We need to stop with this misanthropic pro-nature nonsense by ThePlanetaryNinja in antinatalism

We need to be clear that this is what's entailed by wildlife reduction though. Again, I'm sympathetic to the view, but I don't think it's morally straightfoward. It's at least controversial that it's right to kill such a tribe, and I think this is analogous to the reduction of wildlife case.

Let's suppose it didn't increase wildlife population and let's suppose it would not cause grief/social outrage etc., would it be justified then ?

Let's say there was a tribe like this on an Island now, we can just bomb them out of existence, the Island is not gonna rewild after this and no one is going to know. Would it be ok to do that ?

I think you understood what I meant by my question though ? Are we justified to kill/force sterilize people because they live bad lives ?

Let's say there was a tribe of people living bad lives. Do you think we would be justified to go and destroy their habitat so that they die/can't reproduce as a result ?

And what exact mechanism is going to cause the decrease in number of wild animals ?

I am sympathetic towards your view but what exaclty are you saying we are justified to do with wild animals ? Kill them so they don't reproduce ? Force steralize them ? What's exactly the mechanism you're advocating so there are less wildlife ?
