So the world stops reproducing and the world ends, in which case your selfish as there are many people in the world who enjoy be alive, (I am NOT one of them)

This is the side I struggle with, we hate those pro lifers who force their ideals on us, yet the attitude of children shouldn't be born, the world needs to stop is exactly the opposite to the pro life, its just doing exactly what they are doing, the thing we hate, yet because its from our side, we see no wrong and believe it to be the only way, Yet we slam on pro lifers who in reality are doing their own view and see no wrong in it

Does this even make any sense
What do you mean by there are many people who enjoy being alive? I didn't say we should end their lives! No one is asked before their birth if they want to exist in this world or not, because its impossible! So you don't know who is gonna enjoy life and who will not.
We are already in this mess and we are here planning our way out.
This world doesn't need more children! This world is difficult, stressful and full of problems.. If you don't understand this simple but very strong reason then I have to tell you please think about it again.
Thank you for your time Soulless angel.

There are at least three problems with people who don't try to think logically about this:

First, they don't think about life itself, which is a broad topic but once you know how shitty is biology for example, you wont risk having a defect newborn (even if its very low probability, it can happen and you can't do anything in many cases). Biological body is shit and contains a lot of potential risks not controllable by anyone. Religious and programmed people will bypass it by saying its fate and command of god or anything similar, also biology itself programs oneself to reproduce. But to the sufferer its a hell life and humans actually won't care, they'll thank God for themselves or anything similar and that's it. That's only about the shitty biological madness that people aren't aware and not to mention how medicine and biology itself evolved because of the death of many people, so people die in order for the rest of the species to advance more. What's the value of the life of someone who suffers only to be a material for learning for other beings. Once you consider the individual point of view in life, its always bullshit. This point will lead to other inherent problems in life which people don't think about and there are endless problems in life also like wars, economy or any single little thing that can be considered a problem. I won't continue here but let's assume that a human won't reach the scientific level for this and life is fine and dandy for them but, the second point...


Second, they don't realize how it is not a free choice usually (regardless of the question of free will), it is a completely full system made by humans that favors and enforces natalism and most of the times its not actually a choice. Religion and society oppress and limit sexuality which means the males usually are controlled by their dicks. Then they put absurd amount of economical obstacles which subliminally tells the person that if you need this woman and sex , you'll have to pay and pay, making the person indebted. Of course, they'll encourage marriage and reproduction in their companies and work systems, it has more advantages over the single, childfree one. One will get tempted to get the economical advantages, which on other hand creates another problem of fake and economical marriages that has no real love or emotions. But even if someone loves and wants a person, it will get muddled by financial problems in some cases but when that happens, its usually too late, the parents are indebted and probably hate each other but sometimes stay together because of children and society. And children themselves are already born and it can be a shitty life because their parents has the negativity of the system stained on them. The system doesn't care, it created money from the indebted parents and will have the potential manpower of children. But when some parents realize this, it can be very sad, some will change their attitudes towards the children but probably won't tell them how life is bullshit because its a mind blowing topic. Of course, not everyone is like this but we are talking about a dominant system worldwide that operates everywhere regardless of the political stance. Those who'll choose not to obey the system are extremely rare, so actually most of the times procreation happens, its because of social, beliefs and system conditioning rather than individual choice. So if someone is born because religion said so or because the society and the state wants more people to enslave, what is the value of a life where everyone is expecting you to be something like a robot and not being yourself. Humans lived like this for the whole humanity duration, you can see clear natalist examples in groups and tribes and how a child must be born to be the new leader or king. Also there is the example of military expansion and natalism, states wants to increase population to colonize the world and fight in wars (Facism in Italy for example), what's the value of a single life if it was made just for imaginary entities like states then living just for killing and fighting then dying at the end? All of those are examples of how life is just a rigged thing against humans and not a free choice type of thing. But do people change and make it better? No. They will still ignore all of this and continue like nothing is a problem. So we go to the third point..

Third, logically, one to find a contradiction in life value, one counter example is enough to prove. Otherwise to prove life is worthy, it would be necessary to check everyone's life and check if its worthy. Let's assume a child is born, then died in early childhood years in a war. What is the worth of life from the child point of view?
This can be applied to anything else, any sufferer can use themselves as a logical counterexample. One is enough as a logical example even if life has no sufferers and only one, it will logically makes any statement about how life is good wrong.
This also can be applied on parenting. Societies and cultures specially old traditions are full of crap that say parents are divine or whatever and a child must submit to them (in some cases even allowing them to do whatever abuse physically). So the saying parents are good or natalism has no wrong can be foiled by one counter example only. Some parents are trash and some kids will suffer, that's enough to prove and having some good parents and not a sufferer kid doesn't disprove how the thing is logically not in favor of natslism and parenting. If someone doesn't care about other cases? That's selfishness, like saying let everyone else burn but my family. You won't prove that families and natslism are good if you have a good family as it is all situational. But on the other hand, the sufferer can prove otherwise, because they suffered, as a counter example. The life from their point of view is hell. They can just accept that some people got it better, but do you think everyone just accepts their life to be trashed and see (regardless of meaninglessness) how they got pained and can't do anything. This is why shitty religions and ideologies comes to make the one more absurd and accept illogical parts of life. But when someone accepts illogic, that's absurdity and you can't talk with logic to any of them (which is how many people are in this planet). And there is no fourth point

I am not saying that, read what I wrote.... if we stop reproducing then there will be NO children, then the world stops that's for everyone, not just for us mere people in a situation that we would rather not be in, but for EVERYONE, including those who enjoy their life.... because they too would eventually die as all do. Then mankind would cease to exist

I struggle to accept that. My parents sacrificed so much for me. They never gave up on me when I fucked up. My sister and I are of a similar age, and her life is meaningful and rewarding. Maybe they put a little more effort into her childhood due to her being their first child. Perhaps my mother was able to relate better to another female than she was a male. Those feel like excuses though. The only real applicable criticism I have is that they were so busy working (to provide a good life for us) that they didn't notice me struggling at school and my mental health deteriorating. Still, they are only human and had good intentions. It's important for me to accept my responsibility in all this.

I can relate to this so much, but don't put too much of the weight on your own shoulders. Their sloppiness with me was totally their fault.

Since you asked, I'm not seeing the connection between the world ending (false presumption), that poster being selfish, and people who enjoy being alive. I see what you were going for with the pro-lifer bit. It's not the same though since there is no regulation of people's ability to have children. Still, none of us here are going to convince most people to stop having children, even if they agree that life, in general, sucks, is suffering, etc. The great paradox lol.

but if we were to stop producing, the world would end surely, as there would be no next generation to carry it on, asked on here earlier, not sure this thread or another but ever seen the film Children of Men, and how the world suddenly becomes infertile

It is always a gamble to bring kids into the world, but doing that when your life is completely dysfunctional...

Any time I hear about a family with so many kids that they cannot feed, I keep quiet because if I spoke I'd be really offensive. When you help a still breeding family with their kids, it does not really save the kids but only encourages another and another to join in the misery. And I don't think there is a completely merciful way to address this issue.

The issue we are talking about is forcing a human being to exist without their own approval.
How parents treat their children after their birth is another topic!
Anyone who selfishly forces a human being to exist in this world (and we all know the reasons why parents give birth to children) is an evil and selfish person. That applies to everybody even millionaires and billionaires.

People should simply understand the reasons why having children is not a good thing. And it's something not hard to achieve.
I just gave you a simple reason which is the first years a child is born.. They go through hell from fever to flu to allergies and and toothache. I personally would cry if I see a child crying of pain. And I am a grown as** man!!
I don't understand people who know all these things and keep giving birth.

This is just nonsense. I'm very sorry life didn't work out for you but nature is what it is. Take away procreation and there's no point to it at all. How can you get consent from something that doesn't exist? Does it bother you when it's any other species? I doubt it and the reason why is obvious, it didn't result in you. This is just bitterness.

Most humans don't suffer as much as you. Besides violence and poverty world wide keeps going down. So your world view isn't in line with what going on. Yes things are bad, but they are getting better overall and that is important. Given all that what you said is mostly true too.

While logically stopping reproduction or not existing is the inevitable result (humans are fallen in absurdity and cannot escape contradictions which makes cognitive dissonance, so that's why many don't think at all and be absurd) but practically humans won't stop reproduction because of absurdity (which makes a loop). It is a heavy programming and conditioning that is extremely hard to escape, usually by probably extraordinary experiences and shocks (mental problems, losing someone, wars..etc) or having it very late (like being old and thinking its meaningless). The idea of not giving birth is not new at all, although its always there as a logical conclusion but it won't do anything practically.

Also humans doesn't reproduce to increase the population or for other humans. It just happens by conditioning and biological functions. There is also how humans kill each others and increase their numbers while reducing the enemy numbers, clearly not caring about any number or anything. Its just an absurd loop of absurd creatures.

I think it's your world view that isn't in line with what's going on, if you think that.
