For the efilists/promortalists on this forum, do you believe it’s obligatory for people to die and are they wrong to continue existing?

I feel like once you accept these awful truths, you have some obligation to death, because life is evil. I know death is hard but if it's wrong/evil to continue living, then wouldn't people have a moral obligation to death??

People are too selfish to die

People are too selfish to die

But do you believe they have an obligation morally to it?

Some of us like evil.

Depends on which normative ethical theory you subscribe to. It's not a single player game and our own suicides would do nothing to the whole game being played. Are you a utilitarian? If you are, it may be better for you to stay, spread the ideas, battle with pro lifers and fight for universal right to die and a peaceful exit for existing lives, and encourage potential parents to adopt instead of giving birth to prevent more new lives from coming into existence. And when you finally get to ctb, aim at causing the least harm.

I believe the only solution to this mess is total annihilation as well. Whether it can actually be achieved is a different story.
