Out of all of John Joseco's work, I think this is my favorite. |

There's just something so beautiful about pregnant women.
I can't explain it, but I think it has to do with the wonder of giving birth and creating a new life. |
| LucasGAN #823819 6 months ago |
there is nothing beautiful about pregnancy. A fetus is like a tumor, a cancer, a parasite, growing inside a woman's body and absorbing nutrients from the food she eats |

@LucasGAN: Many women learn to embrace this parasite. They name it, dress it up in tiny clothes, arrange playdates with other parasites... |

Parasites provide nothing to their hosts. Your kid provides, oh, I don't know, the genetic continuity that the rest of your body is aimed at.
People who refer to fetuses as parasites disturb me. There's something bizarre about thinking of your own child so denigratingly. |

I do have to wonder what's "beautiful" about creating a new life. It's not like we're the only animal that does it. Standard reproduction's just a thing. What's so amazing or beautiful about anything if a human can do it? :/
Any anti-natalist sentiments that come from me that aren't thick with misanthropy usually stem from the fact that the person in question being born never asked for life. Yet they're conscripted into an existence and have so much burden placed onto them by those who exist in parallel and prior to themselves. It almost seems like a violation of the right to live or die when it's not in the as-of-yet-undeveloped hands of the person being born. It seems ridiculous, but there's also the argument about circumcision (a topic that I have no actual position on and I'm ONLY using as an approximating example) where it's in violation of the right of the circumcised to be circumcised at birth. If one can't make that kind of decision on behalf of a newborn, what makes giving them a life in the first place an action that's immune to scrutiny? Willfully inflicting pain on a human being is "a bad thing", correct? As is allowing any circumstance to exist in which such a possibility is realized (i.e., if you didn't do anything to prevent someone from suffering and you did so knowingly, you're just as guilty as directly hurting them in the first place). Being born and existing is the natural prelude to any and all suffering. There's an argument in some form about God being at fault for our suffering since he's our creator - well, why single out God? Humans, in a consensual circumstance (I realize this is merely a subset), would be at just as much fault for propagating the human race and therefore bringing those in existence to inevitably suffer. If you've brought a human into the world, you're, in some part, responsible for any and all pain they endure. There's also the idea that a human's good experiences outweigh the bad. I don't buy that for a minute. What guarantee is there that a human will even have good experiences in the first place? For some people, the capacity for a good life is taken from them, like those who get "locked-in" syndrome or have a disease in which they're not expected to live to adulthood (so much for living a full life). And even given that, suffering for a human is invariable. People are going to suffer, no matter what. And moral philosophies have rendered that completely unconscionable - you're evil, no question, if you cause people to suffer. Right? There's no real clear-cut, objective answer in these matters. Being right or wrong has never stopped humans from doing either, and all the moralizing in the world all depends on if you can persuade a human, assuming they'll put themselves in a position to be persuaded in the first place. My sentiments are company to completely opposite feelings amongst the rest of humanity. I, personally, can't think of why you would want to subject a human to the horror of existence, but others think the terror of non-being just as bad. In the end, it's pointless. All so very pointless. </nihilistic diatribe> ...All that said, I'm glad we have Twilight Sparkle. |

@Dudemang; You're comment somehow is at once tl;dr and uselessly short. You seem to write around the point you're trying to make and still expect us to understand it. It is extremely unclear what you're even arguing about, or how you came up with it. Basically, I'm asking you to make some goddamned sense when you try to play philosopher. |

I agree with anon069, Dudemang is a insufferable, pretentious imbecile who probably skimmed through one of Nietzsche's books and thinks himself in possession of some divine truth. If the little bastard believed in what he says for even one second he would have committed suicide instead of smearing his shit in the comment box. |

And livestreamed it, so the rest of us may derive pleasure from his cessation of suffering.
When it comes to abortion, I follow Captain Falcon's philosophy. |

There is beauty in art, and every sentient being can create some abstract work of emotion, that does not diminish the works beauty. Pregnancy is beautiful because of the end result, a pure and innocent being who you can raise, can nurture, can love and be loved by. You create a person, and that person creates a bigger and more connected family. Life has suffering, but with pain comes a deeper appreciation of the pleasures life brings. Some are born bad or raised wrong, but if that was the rule we would have murdured each other back in ancient times. We live to bring more life into the world. The cycle goes on until it comes time to end, and at the end of time we will all find the second answer to the meaning of life. |

Cause when i think emo ( which is what i called Dudemang) , i think of the Hero of blood symbol. |

I don't think what I've posted is the "truth". :/ I've only posted why I pretty much have doubts.
Anonymous said: Ya got me. I don't believe it (thought I'm not sure doing so would entail or necessitate suicide). And, in fact, the rhetoric I've posted is probably closer to Schopenhauer than Nietzsche. I'm completely, absolutely value-agnostic about everything. I didn't post what I did under the pretense that I was right. I did so hoping I was wrong and people would give me an alternative.Anonymous said: HeinousActsZX said: Comments like these are what I was looking for. It doesn't answer my question completely, but they give me something to work off of in face of the existential doubts I've faced. Why not ask plainly? Because most of you would just give facetious answers. So, by posing rhetoric under the guise of attacking the notion of life being good and sacred (or whatever), many of you would then be perhaps somewhat obligated (if by nothing else than personal values and worldviews) to give a half-way serious response. That's probably dishonest, and I'm sorry. I guess I just really want answers. |

No, I'm not. I hope not to be a Nietzsche. |
| Vree #825993 6 months ago |
Aren't you overstating the importance of suffering a bit? I keep thinking "what a pussy, can't do with a little pain". Of course wilfully not causing more problem for others than neccessary has to be a princible, because it's hirribly unproductive, but that doesn't mean that you can call quits just because you have to bear a little discomfort. That kind of glorification of the idea of comfort is what makes a person or society grow lazy and ungrateful. |

Ah, the "Why live/try to enjoy life/ect?" question.
Best answers I've thought up of: Optimist: "Life is worth living." Pessimist: "Because we'll die one day." Realist: "That's the function of life; To be. Shakespear asks such silly questions." Snarky Realist: "You got something better to do?" |
