Antinatalism? Thoughts?

I myself am an antinatalist. I decided at a very young age I never wanted to have children. People told me I would change my mind. Decades have passed, and my feelings have never wavered.

A very good book which thoughly explains the position is Better to Have Never Been by David Benatar.

Sandman has a good MGTOW video about it here.

I wouldn't want to be guilty of bringing anyone into this world. I agree with the basic idea. You're born into the world against your will, then forced to get a job and be a wage slave just to survive. Why would I want to put anyone else through that?

Wow! Antinatalism in mgtow? Now that's what I have been waiting for!

life is hard because the universe(or if you want to call it god) doesn't give a shit about you.(nothing personal) you're on this planet because the planet is close enough to the sun to not freeze and far enough away to be just the right tempature to live on it as creatures. if the sun for some reason dissapeared... we would all freeze to death very fast. someday it will explode, then it's over unless we traveled very far away from it and the whole thing will start over again.

People always look for meaning and the universe doesn't give a shit about meaning the world doesn't revolve around you(again nothing personal) humans always think that it does. The only meaning you can give to life is whatever you want it to be. My meaning in life is just being, just living till i die, not a specific meaning but just experiencing everything untill i'm gone.

In the words of Tyler Durden: "What you have to consider is the possibility that God doesn't like you. Could be, God hates us. This is not the worst thing that can happen.” (You can change the word god into the universe if you like to, everyone interprets it differently).

It's just my thought process in life and i like to know what you think about it.

Letting go of meaning for me set me free in a way.

Tyler Durden: “Only after disaster (see disaster as losing your original meaning in life to the one i'm in of having your own meaning to life or none at all and being neutral to it) can we be resurrected. It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything. Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart. (constantly even the planets and suns.)”

it's a very long post, felt like i had to speak my mind on this.
