Not a single verse in Quran where Allah swt is encouraging people to have children let alone have more children. Most of the verses in Quran says Wealth and Children are distractions and good deeds are better. Try to find a single Ayat in Quran where Allah is commanding to have children or have more children. Quran >>>> Hadith
Mani starts by saying that he’s very glad to be here talking about his antinatalist journey to us. And I’m very glad that he got in touch with you, Lawrence. What a wonderful guest! And another excellent video. I think I say it every time but thanks to Mani this one was truly special.
Well I found one thing is from this philosophy and people's suggestions from the comments that west is void. It is void of happiness, though they have got material. They lack the sense of meaningfulness. Individualism has overcome them and they dont find purpose in themselves. However, meaning of life lays out of one's existence. There is no denial of pain and suffering. Nevertheless, the moments of silence, sound of nature, spent time with loved ones overtake all of that. If one dont believes in religion then ending the existence for good is absurd. Removal of conciousness would be true suffering.
Who gives a fuck what people want? I love that my children are happy. You dislike that theyre happy because my children were created in the first place. I almost wish your parents argued about procreation and never had you 😂
Just yesterday, 1 lady tried to get pregnant with me... I told her that it's not a good idea, and simply began chanting the beautiful song of Danny Shine ✨✨✨
1 more reason NOT to have kids: The future of human species looks very bleak... Idiocratic society is probably what's gonna happen to the future of humanity 😢
Why do you have to try to bring everyone down with you if you dont want to be here then thats your decision trying to bring down everyone just makes you look like a death cult but you atcually are a death cult you are very openly atcually so i guess you wouldnt care
Animals suffer. However, they don't complain about it like us. They just kill or be killed. They don't have emotions like us humans. I get what you're saying, but humans and animals just can't be compared. They're simply different.
Their brains can't even comprehend suffering. It doesn't exist to them. However, humans are different. We understand and feel different than them because of our brains.
They feel physical suffering. That is all. While we feel physical and mental suffering on a daily basis. Because we're the most oddest creatures on this planet
The reason why so many humans believe antinatilism is a rather negative way of thinking, is because theyre simply defending their human ego. Humans tend to do that without realizing. They think antinatilist are just people who have a negative outlook on life, but thats simply not the case. They simply point out the harsh facts about existence and use thise facts toward their belief. Antinatilists arent suicidal or negative people or defeated people, they simply see life as what it really is instead of living in their own false delusions like most of society.
I used to be an antinatalist, but I no longer am. I see antinatalism as a profoundly depressing worldview that impedes happiness, although I acknowledge that doesn't necessarily make it untrue. I never really found an argument against antinatalism that changed my mind, my beliefs just changed over time. I'm much happier with my life now, which is funny because my life is objectively worse than when I was an antinatalist (then I was young and healthy, but now I have a chronic illness). I'm also a Christian now, was an atheist in the past.
Why do you think so ? I think it's good to make people reflect on the seriousness of the issues at hand. Also can work well with people who are more pro-life and couldn't really be convinced to see existence as a harmful thing.
@@user-em4fd9dv4g The "misanthropic argument" is simply shorthand for antinatalist arguments focused on the suffering that is caused by an individual, as opposed to arguments centered on the suffering the individual will experience (sometimes called "philantropic argument"). It's a bit of a misnomer as it's not intrinsically misanthropic, imo. But Benatar called it that in Better Never to Have Been and it stuck.
You procreators really need to stop being cry-babies. Creating someone else is definitely not a personal choice that you just make. You are to create someone else, u need to ask if that person will be ok with you creating them, also your decision is to impact everyone else around you and your kid(s), so you need to ask everyone else if they are ok with your decision. You are not the only ones with rights here, everyone elses and your kid(s) also are human and therefore have rights, just like you. Humans deserve basic needs met, physical and emotional safety secured, housing and medical needs provided at the very least, therefore who are you to procreate if you are unable to secure these things for your kid(s) while considering everyone else in the society? You only think you need to decide if you WANT a kid? Thats it? Thats your decision making? You don't need to consider whether that kid will turn out to be a detriment to society? Or become homeless? You only need to think about what u want? You parents are indeed cry babies, adult cry babies, u have no rights then, if u don't take on your corresponded responsibilities associated with the decision. Btw please stop your ridiculous arguments saying you are procreating for society. Have we even come to a collective conclusion regarding how society should move forward? If not, what kind of a kid are you even to make? Since you don't know, how are you doing it for society? Stop shoving your decision down everyone's throat saying you are doing it for us. You can't even guarantee to us you won't create another shooter.
Indians only having kids to look after them when they are old. All Indians care about is money, reputation and competition. Ridiculous toxic narcissistic culture
AP is doing something that all vegan, anti-natalist, minimalist, anti-consumerist and environmentalists will eventually get around to doing....the only reason we, as in humanity, will respect the earth and all life on it, the only way we can find our way back from this suicidal madness of consumerism, is if we are encouraged to look within and find our humanity and give it the place it deserves...not as an apex predator species, but as a species imbued with a unique gift to be able to do the right thing selflessly. The pursuit of truth begins when we look inward...and that is our redemption. Everything else takes us one step further on the road to our own extinction.
Bad slogan. There is even people in poor countries who "make love" and still pop out babies, either by accident from it or on purpose. Make Love, Not Babies is like saying Do Drugs, Stay Sober. Can't have one reckless act without the other. I mean this is why we are all here, because two idiots got horny. For millions of years it's been like that before contraception.
I am telling you Lawrence, you are doing such important work to humanity that we all should thank you for all your effort. I am Asian and theres a culture here where parents expect children to thank their parents for bringing them into existence through (monthly) payment, work, respect, companionship, gaining pride for them to show off and much more. Thats why they all love having kids, many have multiple kids to do so. Many of us children are frequently and continuously pushed / coerced to have kids as well. (And thats why theres a quite vigorous resistance over here now, where lots of young people are resisting having children) In some other countries they even love to create kids to sell, to families that will then have them create more babies to strengthen their families, make them bigger, just so they can have more free hands / free brains in their family. People have kids indeed because they are selfish theres no deny. All parents create their kids into existence not because they purely and wholeheartedly want someone to love, but because they think through this way they can coerce them into obeying them, being their free utility. Its all so disgusting I feel sick. Only through procreation can these ridiculous disgusting powerless not obedient-worthy people force someone else to obey them. "I created you, you should thank me and listen to me", as they often say. I find it totally absurd though, that not a single piece of food, a single droplet of water was created by these parents, yet these parents use nature's creation to feed their kids, then immediately think they are worth obedience from these children. I cannot believe I was created for this purpose. No wonder why the world is sick and disgusting. No wonder why I have been uninterested or cold about this world since a very young age.
Thanks for sharing, I find it ridiculous that some (maybe even all to some degree) cultures place the expectation of gratitude and respect on the child and not the parent.
