This comment is getting way too many upvotes. The world is not that bad and I’m sure 99% of people alive today would rather be alive than to never have been born. I’m not saying it’s that good but it’s not so bad that I would rather be not born.
No, it is not too bad today but what about in a year? In 5 years? 10? 20? If you bring another human into this world you always have the thoughts about this new person and want it to have its best life. Today is fine but I doubt 20 years from now will look fine. Probably much sooner than that and it will not look very fine any longer.
And no, I don’t regret being born either. Just wish people stopped being so ignorant and stupid.
Look, I love this place and sympathize with the sentiment, but it’s also structured as a dramatized, extreme echo chamber. This neat little oasis amongst the burning internet is not (at least for me) representative of real life.
Oh I completely disagree. If humans had a simple offswitch the world population would crater. Basically if wanting to be dead made people dead we would have a massive amount of dead people fast.
