To a degree, but I also think the average antinatalist is a moron. They'll praise themselves for saving the environment by not having children, meanwhile there's people in africa making babies 5 times as fast as the US, not to mention India and china.
I think the place for antinatalism is for people who would make terrible parents, for people who wouldn't enjoy being parents, etc.
Other than that, antinatalism is the dumbest thing ever when you think about it. As biologic entities our job is to reproduce, survive, evolve, improve. But we're rationalizing our own extinction. Like... these idiots don't realize that if anything the earth, plants, animals, etc will survive long after humanity dies out. Our species isn't the center of all existence. There's life that survives at the bottom of the ocean in scorching hydrothermal vents, where no light has ever shone... Life can survive humanity easily, no matter what our effect is on the environment.

No, I believe God creates all life. I come from a large family 5 times the average. I learned to value life, even though one of my parents is disabled and two of my siblings are. They still have value and they enrich life. I will with God's grace have a lot of children with my wife. I've saved myself for marriage and I'm saving money for marriage. I will be earning about $100,000 a year with my degree, I plan to sart my own business as well (may reach $300,000). I expect to have 6+ kids (if I marry at 24), but would love any amount. I believe God has a plan for everybody and it is a great plan. My parents married earlier than I will, so I don't expect to have as many children, but would love every child I had.

Two hundred and twenty-odd years of Malthus' theories being disproven, visibly in everyday life, and it's still not enough for these people? Do they then celebrate by phrenologically examining the skulls of alpha wolves they pumped full of phlogiston?
no... if humanity didn't procreate we would cease to exist, to deny any life a chance to exist is actually morally wrong...
Hilarious that people who believe in anti-natalism are super happy their parents didn't believe in it.
I agree with the practical Anti-natalism is most aspects, disagree with the total Anti-natalism
I'm the kind of asshole that would have killed Julio Cabrera to see if he held his belief as I was taking away his life
I can't listen to that he sounds weird what does it mean,
Yes. For at least a generation. Give the earth a rest.
