Well, antinatalist ideas can't really propagate to the next generation.
Yoga has been humbling. Thanks for the video.
Great video, Dan! Very timely exercises for me.
"Why the antinatalist argument is hard to accept" You don't have one.
Because it is against God. That's why.
"It's all part of the script marge." "Comply or die." - God
Charles Darwin already responded that at a long time ago 😂
Yeah cus its backed by nothing
Seymour from FFX did nothing wrong
Anyone opposing the anti natalist movement is delusional and selfish
Because most of them don't procreate so they die off. Other reasons too.
Biology .
So...genuine question: are you angry that you were born? Because of the consent thing?
In the first hypothetical scenario, the baby has verry little to no chance for happiness, and there yes I would be antinatalist. In the real world, I know life is 100% going to contain suffering, and to me that’s okay. I have accepted that I will die, and that some people have it 10X worse than I do. I’ve accepted that when I have children they will undoubtedly suffer at many points in their lifetime. I am also giving them an opportunity to love, be loved, and be happy. That is a privilege. This life we live is a privilege and that fact that you are you, and I am me is a miracle. I understand your view, at least I think I do, and I’d love to debate more
Thanks for the thoughtful consideration!
If antinatialism is on a spectrum, then wouldn't pronatalism also be on a spectrum? I don't understand the reasoning here. This is like saying if you would be willing to kill someone to prevent a hundred deaths then you are pro murder.
Is this a joke? Antinatalism is literally the asshole of ideologies. Its unjustifiable by its very nature. You can unironically make a better argument for Nazism or pedophilia than you can for antinatalism. Please I beg you stop projecting your mental health problems into ideological form. See a therapist.
Because it's a self-destructive philosophy with no redeeming qualities?
You destroy yourself by abstaining from procreation? Are the millions of childless adults walking phantoms? The redeeming characteristic is that one does not make themselves responsible for someone else's life and death.
Ur constantly suffering
is the title a pun lol? antinatalists are self extinguishing
Plants have kind of nervous system and even forms of communication: ua-cam.com/video/LeLSyU_iI9o/v-deo.html It's debatable whether or not they feel pain, or "want" to live or not. Even if not, looks like the health is affected for almost all vegans after long periods of time, so I don't want to reduce suffering of animals based on my own suffering. Plus, the tapes of tortured animals and all that stuff that Vegans present - this is not what happens on most factories, most factories are very civilized on how they treat animals. ua-cam.com/video/NLORLy57Q0M/v-deo.html Of course it's better not to eat animals from a moral point of view. But looks like we evolved to consume meat. I hope once scientist will be able to grow meat in laboratories or something like this.
👍Ppl should be pro-choice instead of judging others businesses.

Would love for you to go deeper into 3:25. People denying their own pain perpetuates so many harmsul systems and practices.
The reason is because it's an antihuman and cynical view on human life, if everyone was antinatalist it would absolutely lead a to a societal collapse and we have a drive to reproduce because we want to one pass on our genes but also to strive for others and something greater than ourselves and to many of us nothing is greater than nurturing the next generation
I may be wrong, but antinatalism, based on what you said from 1:05 to 1:25, looks like an interpretation of the First Noble Truth of Buddhism, maybe with a little mix of the idea of the Third Noble Truth( (the belief that the end to the suffering is the end to the "self", is the anihilation of ego) a more literal interpration of it, althought Buddha and buddhists say that "anihilation", that "Nirvana" is more complex than that, more complex than eternal sleep or eternal non-existence, so idk. But sounds like a "pessimistic view" of the Noble Truths, maybe? A belief that there is no way out of Dukkha in this life, now way out of the First Truth of Life in this life, therefore no more life should be given? Kinda interesting.
I think that one of the most "cruel" reasons for why giving birth, when you think about it, may cause more suffering and may lack empathy, is the fact that this new life that was born, this new baby, will grow up and probably become one more of the humans in society that are afraid of death, afraid of the arrival of its end, of the end of ego, of the end of his experience. If most of us are afraid of ending the game, of finishing the book, if we are, as humans, so afraid of the end of the inevitable end of the experience to arrive, why do we want to condemn people to live with this same fear, having this same experience? Why have an experience that you will live most of the entire experience with the fear inside yourself, of its inevitable end? Are we masochists? A truly good experience, is one that you love, that you enjoy, but althought you know that one day it will end, you don't regret the fact that it will end, because you enjoyed it.But do most of us live like that?
If you think - as I believe you do, basing on this video - that there is no counter argument to veganism and no argument in favor of carnism, yet you still consume animal products, then what even is the value in rational thought, if it doesn't move us to behave in other ("better") ways?...
You misrepresented veganism by saying that it's all about consent (that animals cannot consent to being eaten). This mistake led you to another, that is, wondering about the consent of plants, which makes as much sense as thinking about the consent of rain and rocks. I have never met a vegan that would base his views on consent.
Veganism generally isn't based on consent but at the same time consent is a strong argument for veganism as it's hard to find situations where consent is more aggressively broken than animal agriculture.
So, what is that specific nutrient that you were lacking on a plant-based diet?
I always find antinatalists who aren't vegan confusing.

Cause antinatalists are not getting naturallly selected
Antinatalists are the bigger hypocrites. Vegans are the bigger cry-babies.
Interesting how antinatalists are all still alive despite the suffering in the world. Fancy that.
for the same reasons of not being able to get consent, we should not eat or exploit animals.
I would agree with your statement that Anit-Natalism is logical. The problem is, it can not be proven. What if I say: The joys in life far outweigh the pain that it brings. Unborn human did not consent to not being born. If you do not have kids, you are doing so without their consent. Not having kids is taking away potential joy in sentient experiences. Not having kids is therefore immoral. That is exactly the arguments that Ant-Natalists use, just flipped around. Both are logical. The truth is, Anti-Natalism is subjective AND unprovable, a rather annoying combination. So debates about Anti-Natalism are all kind of pointless, you dont have an objective basis nor a provable proposition.
Profound question. It’s just a new ideology and it’s only available to the highly intelligent and moral. We also don’t want to insult our parents and we love children
Believing that your view is uncommon because you are simply smarter and better than everyone is a deeply unproductive and deeply erroneous. I say this as somebody who is very sympathetic to anti-natalism.
What do cultists do when they can't _actually_ convince people of their views? Take their oversimplified logic and insist that everyone already believes it. 'All atheists are actually Christians.' Same thing. *You* are the problem for being completely unable to understand that *birth is also the only way to experience joy, friendship, love, triumph, and everything else that's good.* And if you don't have enough of those feeligns in your life to make it feel worth living, THAT'S YOUR OWN DAMN PROBLEM, LAZY.

"Why are there so few Antinatalists?" Maybe they're taking their nihilistic idea to its ultimate conclusion and killing themselves?
Why do you think there are so few antinatalists? Especially since population growth and birth rates are rapidly declining and in fact even in the negative in many countries in the West? Many Westerners especially the women are opting out of having children altogether.
In this dilemma I always ask my self who are these people? If I dont know I dont get involved.
On your point regarding plant life - “seems very strongly to want to survive, thrive and reproduce” - everything I have read and witnessed in that regard shows that it is more likely they have evolved a need, rather than a desire, to thrive etc. For plants to want something seems very unlikely, but to respond to stimuli is feasible and advantageous.
I have struggled with how to stay alive by eating other species (of plants, fungi, or animals) for a long time now. It surely seems like the basis of life here on Earth is the consumption of other species by whatever species is in question. Plants and fungi and animals all seem to require the death of other plants, fungi and/or animals to continue living. Life seems to be the sort of thing that causes any particular species to want to survive such that that species will consume other species (or even other members of its own species) in order to survive. It could be considered something like morally whacked (for lack of a good scientific term)! People who claim to survive and thrive without consuming any plants, fungi, or animals (breatharians) seem to be not telling the truth. I’m not calling them liars; I’m saying that they seem to have all been proven fakes. Not eating would seem like the moral high ground; but it doesn’t seem possible (as per your illustration that Jains who stopped eating all together die).
Yeh what you said
I've been using your videos to sleep because your voice is so calming.
I'm glad it helps!
I heard that stuff before. A great moral act is to die if you need animal products in order to live. I will call that, a moral suicide
Antinatalism simply means love ❤
How?
Vegans and antinatalism are about compassion I guess
Veganism maybe, antinatalism is a total NO
@@elCamaradaR What do you disagree with about antinatalism?
@@roninsjourney7560 it is simple, antinatalism is correct about life being a negative but the method goes against the final goal. The World is going to end if we keep increasing the global temperature, for doing that, there is no better way than increasing the number of humans. That will speed up the general demise of earth and life is going to be over sooner. So we should stop preaching antinatalism and convince breeders to keep doing their stuff.
@@elCamaradaR why you say that ?
@@roninsjourney7560I’m not the OP but here’s my opinion. Antinatalism is the philosophical belief that suffering outweighs the positive and therefore it’s unethical and immoral to bring life into existence, because we know that they will suffer. There is another argument to this that some antinatalists will use and that is: It is impossible to gain consent from the new life in regards to wether or not they want to be born, and therefore it’s unethical. My view is this: If there is one thing that is guaranteed in life, it is suffering. If you choose to refrain from bringing life into this world, you are preventing countless suffering, but you are also preventing all of their happiness. Life gives us the opportunity to love and be loved. Happiness would not be so good if we were never sad. Living in a home but not feel like a privilege if there were not homeless people that would trade places. So I have accepted that when I have children, they will suffer in their life, because I know that I am also giving them the opportunity to love and be loved. And I will teach them the way the world actually is in a safe way that is good for kids. Finally: All life on earth reproduces without gaining consent from the following generation because that is impossible. So there is no argument for why we should need consent from our children to bring them into the world.
That's what it feels like to be bipolar tbh.
It's a mental maladaptation. Most people don't care about 'consent' in that way, and most people aren't so miserable that they regret being born. Also, the children of people not buying into the idea of antinatalism will inherit a less populated earth.
Maybe not everyone is pessimistic about being on earth the best known planet for life. I think the millions of sperm we all competed with wanted to become a baby.
No it's just cause and effect😂
For the same reason there are no Anti-Natalists in the animal world.
Antinatalists would be a good thing for humans though since humans are exploiting wildlife
Majority will lead themselves to DISASTER naturally. No cure.
