DrSunshine posted:Why? What's the point, if you think that the human race will literally go extinct? I mean wouldn't the sensible case be to spend the rest of your life advocating for as many people to commit suicide as possible, before committing suicide yourself? Why? Telling other people* to kill themselves is hosed up. *Nazis aren't people. As for how much longer I want to live, why as long as possible. Quality of life here is pretty good all things considered.

KingNastidon posted:Opening week of football and the Bills look solid. Will revisit whole suicide thing depending on whether Allen causes team to miss playoffs. But by that time PlayStation 5 will be coming out, so... Can't miss the playoffs if the playoffs are cancelled.

DrSunshine posted:Because the death of the self is not isomorphic to the death of the species. Your actions and the things you accomplish in life can have beneficial, positive impacts on other people presently existing, and can continue to have positive impacts on future people who come to exist after them, long after your death. If you sincerely believe that the human race is going to go extinct imminently, and in a violent and agonizing way, then the greatest good to be done would be to prevent as many future generations from existing as can be done - to get as many people to die now, while things are not as hellish. I am fine with dying in 50 or 60 years as long as I know that the human race will continue to exist, and that lives will get better overall, in the long run, than worse. But if I were to be convinced that the human race will end before that time, or to continue onwards until the natural extinction period of biological species is reached while living in a hellish, debased state of agonizing suffering and nihilistic war of all against all, then my calculus changes significantly. Antinatalism will always be the dumbest possible position.
