@miccee said: That doesn't help. But just to clarify, I don't think that we are morally culpable for perpetuating the species, because each of us makes the only decision that he or she can.

We're morally culpable for everything we do, as long as we know and understand ramifications. We are, after all, the doers of the deeds. And even if deemed mentally not responsible due to defect it's still not consequence-free.

I just feel compelled to play my part in exposing people to the reasons why they shouldn't bear children. And it's possible that if antinatalism becomes a well known philosophy, it may prevent some births in the future, and could eventually become an entrenched talking point within the atheist community.

How do you not recognize the derangement (great irony + tragedy) of passionately embracing your compulsion while "knowing" that regardless of whether you lie down on the motorway or become Earth's Supreme Sovereign for Life it will make no difference whatsoever to the pre-writ outcome.

It was certainly a shock to me to learn how many atheists still believe in free will, and I'm certain that will have to change in the future.

The gospel according to Mic.

And if society wants the fairest possible state of affairs, that would mean no humans and no society.
