    You call it pessimism, I call it realism.

    Says every person with depression ever.

    I agree with the other commenter recommending therapy. When you don’t see it as “life is pain and the future is hopeless”, you might sound less like a scifi villain calling for human extinction.

      “Existence is suffering” is a foundational tenet for many worldviews and religions, not just antinatalism. Existence is literally the first cause to all suffering - no existence, no suffering.

      Acknowledging that doesn’t make me depressed or pessimistic, it’s just acceptance how things are.

      You’re free to live in whatever fantasy you want, though. That’s your right.

      Also, responding to differing worldviews with “get help” is generally bad form

        Your worldview is literally calling for the extinction of all humans. You need to come back to reality and stop convincing yourself that this is normal or healthy.

          Yes, it is. And I’m just fine, I prefer not to live in idealistic delusion

          Maybe educate yourself on the actual philosophy

            Ah, yes the classic “everyone else who doesn’t subscribe is deluded” echochamber red flag.

            “Voluntary Extinction” is right up there with “flat earthers” and “anti-vax” as the dumbest pseudo-intellectual things I’ve read on the internet.
