Assuming you are not lying, (about being a woman) than congrats. I think it may be more difficult for women to come to this conclusion, biologically more biased toward the act, etc. I hope more wake up.
Those that say don't want kids because they want to enjoy their own freedom, money, sex life and all this kind of stuff are not antinatalists, but childfree.
Being a lifelong and practicing antinatilist, I have observed several friends, family, and colleagues, etc. from being blissfully single to now having one or more "adult" children. I am still repulsed by the whole thing and am glad I didn't go that way. They are now mostly a bunch of disillusioned fatties that never took the time to know themselves and what they really wanted in "life". I'm doing great and I don't care that I don't have anyone to say that they care about me or manage my meaningless "affairs" after I gladly move on to whatever (hopefully nothing) is next.
I'm an antinatalist but some of the things that you said are ridiculous. If you have children at age 40 you'll be 58-59 when they graduate. You're not in diapers and senial at age 59 lmao!! My parents were 25 when they had me and they we're insanely immature. I would much rather have a 40 year old parent because at that age their ego is already destroyed. A 25 year old is still immature and doesn't understand the world yet. My young parents would constantly socialize and visit other people when I was growing up and it was annoying! Would much rather have had parents that were slightly tired and wise. The grass wasn't greener on the other side believe me!! My young father screwed me up and started to mature when I was in my 20s. By then the damage was already done 😒.
When i told my very Catholic cousin (with 2 living seedlings) that he may have created to souls that might go to Hell, he responded with a completely irrational response that there's a Christian Heaven and a Muslim Heaven. REALLY? That's the best defense you have for exposing 2 souls to eternal Hellfire? SAD!! There's no hope for humanity.
A child should only need REAL LOVE AND AFFECTION when raised. I agree, if someone is rich it does not mean their child will be ok just by giving them money or toys. If love is not there you might as well raise a beast in a cage and occasionally throw them food and toys. Neglectful and narcissistic parents 101. I know from experience. I was only a toy/tool for my parents selfish happiness. Look at me now. I am probably the same myself now. All I do is just rant about this unfairness we call existence. To make matters worse, I see myself going to eternal hell after I die and I see my parents as idiots who pretend to themselves that they are going to heaven. But u know, narcs are like that, those inconsiderate fuckheads.
Thank you for the video. I am not sure what videos you have seen but the majority of videos I have watched are pinpointing the ethical dilemma to the birth and death situation. If anything it is usually those who oppose antinatalism who are the ones who do not fully encompass the true focal concern of the philosophy. But as you stated I as well have seen ANs who are more Childfree, just not in the majority.
@@the05pimp Amen! The difficulty is getting people (most) to admit to this reality even though it is out in the open for everyone to see, let alone to actually abstain from the act altogether.
This video is amazing. Subbed. Something I considered: Maybe we are preprogrammed to want to have kids? Or maybe normal human behavior tending towards procreation just makes it way more common than it should be? I mean I don't really know if the blame lies solely with the parents, if (potentially) some of our behavior is baked/hard coded into our minds/souls.
Certainly there is a biological component but that's hardly a good reason when humans are equipped with a brain fully capable of processing risks/benefits. That's why people like this RU-vidr have to come out and spill the (obvious) beans.
@@antinataliz9633you've hit the nail on the head. We have brains and we are obligated to use them to avoid passing on harm and suffering in the name of a so-called desperation to parent.
I know there’s a biological impulse to have sex for pleasure, but that’s how nature tricks living organisms into having children. It’s supposed to be a fucked up surprise, but we’re smarter than the other animals and can come up with ways to enjoy sex without the burden of children: condoms, surgery and other birth control methods. People who have children are doing it for cultural reasons that put pressure on people to have them. So I don’t think there is a biological element to having children. Maybe young women might experience something like that, but it’s probably transitory; and plenty of mothers are awful, not to mention postpartum depression.
Let me preface by saying i dont have any kids. Two aspects bother me. First, i would have liked to see a child born of the true love that my wife and I have for some 25 years now. Second, I understand the everylife is a direct uninterrupted line to the first living thing on earth. These genes that i carry will end with me. I see this as selfish. As for the rest of your arguments I mostly agree that this life is filled with misery.
