I was just thinking about how the last time i learned any philosophy was 15+ years ago, so i wonder, what’s something y’all know about philosophy? Let’s talk about it!

      It means that you think procreation is unethical.

      Most antinatalists take issue with the concept of consent. The logic goes: the person you’re forcing to be in this world by procreating didn’t ask to be here; there is no way to obtain their consent; therefore, it would be unethical to procreate.

      Most antinatalists are also negative utilitarians, which is a philosophy that says minimizing harm is more important than maximizing pleasure. This explains why they reject the ‘gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelet’ logic most people use where procreation is fine since most people want to be here.
