Venting Having children is very stupid, selfish, pointless, unfair, illogical, unethical, and unreasonable!

[Fadeaway_bankz]

Having children is very bad, dumb, stupid, selfish, pointless, wrong, unfair, illogical, unethical, and unreasonable!

Having children is very stupid, selfish, pointless, unfair, illogical, unethical, and unreasonable! Having children doesn't make any sense! This world is VERY bad, evil, cruel, corrupt, crazy, wicked, and unfair! Most things in life are just simply out of your control! Most things in this world are just simply out of our control! When it happens it happens! When you finally see and realize that then why do we need to have children? By having children we're just creating more pain and suffering in this world! Having children is just creating more problems for this world!

We never asked to be born! We can't pick and choose our biological parents and family! We can't pick and choose our genetics! We can't pick our race, skin color, or gender! We can't pick our nationality! We can't pick our looks! We can't pick our height! We can't pick what year or time period to be born in! We can't pick what town, city, state, or country we were born in! We can't pick how much wealth you are born into! We don't have a choice at all! It's not fair!

People who are poor, dumb, stupid, and ugly should NOT have children! All they're doing is making and creating more poor, dumb, stupid, and ugly people! This world is overpopulated! We have more than enough people on this planet! We don't need any more! Most people are NOT fit, ready, qualified, or capable of being parents! Most people have children for very stupid and selfish reasons! They don't know what they are doing! Most people have children just so they can fit in with society! They only do it because they see others do it! That's it! Monkey see Monkey do! This world is terrible mostly because humans are terrible most of the time! Not everyone has a fair chance at life!

My dad used to say life isn't fair alot. I wish he would've worn a condom the day I was conceived. I'm glad I kept my genes out of the pool.

Maybe it would be slightly fairer if we were freely allowed to leave and had access to reliable and painless means but, that isn't allowed either!

Yes, fellow anti-natilist here. I do love my parents but I hate what they inflicted on me.

I feel that there's probably a better way to word that response.

You're right, I deleted it. My words were too harsh.

Many parents are very loving and does their best to ensure that their kids have a great upbringing and lives. You can't really put the blame on parents like they are the bad guy. Parents are amazing, and women go through a lot for 9 months to create another human being and both parents work very hard for you. It's not egotistical. Without parents, all the positive experiences we have wouldn't exist either.

Procreation argument and analogy

I asked chat gpt this question. Then I asked it to formulate it into a better argument for me. What do you guys think of it? The question is in the screenshot attached Is it morally justifiable to bring a person into existence, knowing they will suffer, struggle, and die — even if they might...

Problems like climate change, which worsen with increasing amounts of people (yes, some polluters pollute a lot more) and yep, the sheer amount of suffering really needs to change, the regular living and joys can stay, but idk why there is that much suffering around.

True, I didn't remember signing a consent to existence form. It would be cool if one can pick one's genetics, tho the software that does it better prevent serious errors such as duplicate chromosomes, lack of anti-cancer genes, and other criticalities.

Poverty, Stupidity and dumbness can be mostly treated, also poverty is not always something one is born into, medical debt for example can trigger it.

However, humans who are abusive, hateful, and neglectful absolutely shouldn't be able to bring life into the world, ideally some biological disorder will make it impossible for them to do so, and a dose of random suffering removed from the innocent people, should find its way towards hateful and abusive people, just enough to make them change their ways and learn why it is not ok to be that bad. (combined with insight to change ones ways). The neglectful should also learn what it is like to be neglected for a short while and given insight to improve.

I wonder what happens when genetic signing (fictional concept) is enabled globally... and it isn't supported properly... no new life can be created because the signatures can't decrypt.

P1: Creation of life guarantees the risk of suffering.
P2: Non-existence guarantees the absence of suffering.
P3: Avoiding harm is the highest moral priority.
Conclusion: Therefore, choosing non-existence is the ethically superior choice because it avoids the risk of suffering.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic.

 

[EmptyBottle]

I don't know if you're being sarcastic.

Me neither, tho I feel it was a counter example. Existence is a mix of good, bad, and boring imo, and rather than my gene signing idea, what if users had the option to factory reset their brains (they can choose to wipe existence or only memories).

For most people, this is all they can or will contribute to the world. Just more of themselves. And they see that as an achievement. They see it as an accomplishment. Having kids. Not even raising them right or giving that child a legitimate chance at having a halfway comfortable or manageable life. Just simply getting them into this shitshow called 'life.' I don't see much of a problem having children if one is prepared to take care of and raise that child correctly. If they have a lot of money, enough resources to ensure that the child will have every possible advantage that they can offer them. If they're part of a halfway functional community that will care enough about that child to take care of them. And, most importantly, if they intend to love and guide that child correctly. Save for that, no one should have children.

This world is too rigged against so-called 'average' people to have children. There's just too much working against a child. The old proverb is true, it DOES take a village to raise a child. And yet, you have people who can barely afford their basic necessities just mindlessly having them. No thought into the life of the child at all. I really wish my parents would've just walked by each other, or at the very least my father would've just pulled out. I guess people are just conditioned to reproduce in order to keep broken human life going. Humans don't even do anything to make the world better for their future generations. They just serve and satisfy their sexual impulses and leave another human life strictly in the hands of chance. That, in and of itself, negates the idea that humans are above any other animal.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, MY FRIEND! If someone really wants to raise children, they can simply adopt them. You can adopt a baby who was just born. But no, these crazy people want to give birth to their own kind. What are they doing? People in my family were strictly forbidden to become parents, they do not fit this role by all criteria.
