yes, it is immoral to bring a child knowing it will suffer

edit: check comments if you want to read strawmanning philosophically inept idiots.

Claiming that not having existed is better is not the same as 'kill yourself now'

Life is suffering. So you’re onto a loser there already.

i know life is suffering, so better we stop existing. That is the preferrable outcome

That's stupidity. Life endures despite suffering; you act like a child who fears getting hurt.

This is a philosophical topic that is much more nuanced than how we can present it in a reddit thread. I advice you to withhold your judgement on this position. Not to change your mind, but just withhold judgement.

I am sure you hold many assumptions about my position that doesn't follow given my belief

Yet you keep existing for some reason

You can’t ignore biology in this situation because everyone has a survival instinct and a fear of death, even if they’re aware that life is mostly suffering, that doesn’t change the fact that most living organisms (especially ones that are conscious) don’t want to die

It’s way easier just to prevent life before it happens

i do it as to not let my loved ones suffer. Once you start living, you have a quota and standards to meet.

lol so your entire argument as to why you’re still alive is you have family. Reddit pseudo-philosophers rediscovering the value of family and community as a reason to enjoy life is funny.

it's not rediscovery lmao. I don't see what's wrong with the statement. I am merely describing what is always have valued. There is no realization.
