Why are there so few Antinatalists?

One of my more popular videos it seems, Anti-natalism thoughts. Thanks for watching.

Living the best life to me is a quiet life. Simple. People like to live large just to impress others so they can attract mates... And ring around the rosey we go again.

I'm 35, and I have no children. That will not change. Simply put, having a child in this day and age is condemning them to exist in what I believe will be one of the most tumultuous periods in human history.

I think antinatalists are hard to come by because you need to have a certain personality, a particular brand of introspection and inner strength, to see life for what it truly is, and accept it.

Most people will refuse to try to understand, and outright reject the philosophy out of fear.

Antinatalist from India. Happy to hear that you did not roll the dice👍

We have been conditioned to believe that life is a beautiful thing and should continue. Which of course is a lie and only causes chaos.

I am from Singapore and i wholeheartedly support antinatalism. It is crazy in this day and age having kids. I feel it is a stupid and selfish thing to do.

The very fact we are born with pain receptors should be reason enough to not introduce new life forms into this world, the levels and types of pain that are available to the human body are inhumane and some opt out when it's so severe and unending. I can't gamble on bringing a new life into this world and risk them being born with some genetic defect, or illness or some fluke and much like for all of us, every day is a roll of the dice whether something bad will happen to us i.e. sickness, disease, accidents, losing loved ones, mental health. It's just far too risky and not worth it bringing in new life and I am all for ceasing to reproduce as it would end all problems in this world, no more humans to suffer, no more struggles, just "nothingness" until this cold, indifferent universe experiences heat death and nothing remains

Every single day I have felt joy and relief since I left a long-term relationship where I was expected to "compromise" and change my mind about not wanting to have children. It feels good when I think about how my would-be children will always be safe in non-existence.

I'm so grateful for other anti-natalists and for videos like this. I wish you were all my friends!

THE BEST EXISTENCE IS NONE EXISTENCE.
KNOW LIFE, KNOW PAIN.
NO LIFE, NO PAIN.
ANTINATALISM.

Good video. My choice has been to not have children and I have always thought it the kindest thing to do. My parents both apologised to me before they died for bringing me into the world. When people ask me if I have children I tell them I would never have them unless I could ask them if they wanted to be born first.

This video deserves so many more views. People need to think.

i don't think the number is that small nowadays. we are more and more people that believe and embrace this way thinking and seeing the world. both men and women, not just men

I don't have any kids, probably never will. But, I live sustainably I try "sometimes"to leave a place better than what I found it, even though I don't have too and I try to enjoy life while I'm here, that's my legacy, my gift to the earth for giving me life.

I am 76 yo and my choice has always been, since I was quite young, to protect my children from this dangerous world by not having them. Not only that I was not fit to be a parent or even make it in this world myself. My mother was unable to choose but would have, and I agreed with her - I would have chosen to not be born. I am abhorred at the political power in the U.S. at this point to force people to give birth.

We are an infertile Christian married couple and we've been so for 15 years. We've asked God for a child but I think He has something better for us. Perhaps, He doesn't wish for our theoretical children to have to experience the pain, death, illness & suffering of being in this cruel world. I believe it's for the child's mercy & also our own. God bless!

[markaguilera]

To the fortunate few with the lucky genes, parents and environment to live in kudos, more power to you. But to the myriad of children born beneath an angry star destined to live unfulfilling lives my heart goes out pointlessly.

So how to live life: Do everything possible to minimize the amount of pain and suffer for yourself and help minimize problems for people you know, and maybe help others, but only if they accept to prevent more suffering in the feature

[GhostRangerr]

The "why there are so few anti-natalists" have the same answer to "why there are so few intelligent people in this world"

[ArmandoLuis]

Many people suffer a lot from a young age ...

Few? More and more women Are embracing a child-free life. And men too.
