>>725197but here's another paradox; everything alive will die eventually, so the desire to end life is already fulfilled. there is another pessimist called thomas ligotti, who has advocated for a generational 2-child policy in the west to lower birth rates to the lowest degree - but all of this is paradoxical, since the desire to politically effect these ends means putting investment in the cops who will enforce this policy in 100 years, for example - so you are designing a society, just for less people. so i see all this misanthropy as entirely ideological; it reinforces power, it cant deconstruct it.
the honest antinatalist would immediately drop nukes everywhere on earth to achieve extinction of all life.
