Have an essay due on David Benatar's "Never to have been". Figured this would be the best place to ask a question regarding it.

#1 Why does it matter missing out on pleasures if you were never conceived? it doesn't. Pleasures that someone who never existed have no value.

#2 Why does it matter if you are conceived and experience suffering then die? it matters because you were thrust into this stupid fucking existence by someone elses will and suffered pain. Suffering is a value, it matters, and this is morally wrong.

Suffering is not made up for with some pleasures along the way, because of #1. Most sentient beings experience nothing but suffering. Your taste buds being satisfied do not justify any suffering. Your happiness with stupid gadgets made by Chinese slaves does not justify the suffering. The world is an evil, horrible place.

Those are my thoughts.

Why have kids when you are facing up to 20 years in prison My problem with antinatalism Opinions on euthanasia? while I see a miracle of modern science y'all probably just see a waste of time and money, you poor nihilistic fools. Reddit keeps shoving y'alls posts down my throat so I thought I'd counter post this decrepit little part of the internet. Are outsiders welcome? I’m shocked! Unbelievable I wanted a child but the world freaks me out too much now I worry it would be selfish does wanting kids increases the chances of incel behaviour in involuntary celibate people ? Should We Stop Having Babies? Some questions/perspectives about anti-natalism, since I'm not sure how the ideology approaches them. Why does society expect us to have children? It’s so unfair and makes me feel sexually violated that this is considered normal. I cry thinking about this multiple times per week Civilized conversation Storytime/rant Okay, you let me. anyone wanna give their opinion on this argument?
