Wonderful video, enjoyed it quite a bit. Agree with your closing argument; humanity seems to be obsessed with their own existence. As you said, the universe wouldn't notice if humanity winked out, yet there seems to be this pervading idea that it would be some kind of grand tragedy. I've argued many times with my partner over procreation, and I don't see the point. Why would you bring a child into the world, especially knowing they'll suffer the same diseases/existence you did? Just adopt.

Anti-natalism is irrational. All joy and love would end without more humans, and only through human achievement can suffering end. By killing humanity you destroy all positive feeling as well. Its amazingly weak to want all human life to end because of the negative aspects of experience. You realize how amazingly easy and painless a human life is then compared to a hundred years ago? Can you imagine what it will be in a few hundred more?

life does scratch a universal itch, as sagan said, life is a way for the universe to know itself, life is the consciousness of the universe, life is the unnecessary component that makes the universe a more complete system,,,,, not extremely relevant to the antinatalism debate,,, 3435 was priceless,,, aahhhh, roenassarek is forgetting that fucking is fun, and thats why society would not crumble under laws that promote antinatalism,,,

When you started mentioning "7 times the food, 7 times the electricity," and how everything is cheaper, I got a vision of a worldwide going out of business sale...I've helped close down a couple of going out of business stores, so it was kinda funny.

Nice video as usual Gary. Much love and respect.
@pawnstar3 You know Gary has a valid argument when you see such a hue & cry waged against it. If Gary was talking rubbish would there be such an emotive reaction? The answer is no, Gary is forcing you to face a harsh and brutal reality something most people spend a lifetime running from. In essence he’s a party pooper, he bursts the ballon of delusion and romanticism and most would have him silenced for it.

I'm not getting the idea that the offensive part of birth is that it makes future corpses. There is nothing wrong with corpses - they are the same as the material universe prior to birth.
What is wrong with birth is that it produces beings that are horrified by corpses, and then must spend their days on a countdown to becoming a corpse while suffering the various other tragedies of existence. Absolutely unnecessary and avoidable.
