    Bust a nut, pass your genetics and perish. Thats it. What you do in between that is up to you.

      How about I do something which will make life better for people who are actually alive already instead of increasing total human suffering by making new people.

        Having kids can be extremely fulfilling, doesn’t increase human suffering at all. Having kids subjectively improved my life and the lives of many people adjacent to me, e.g. the lives of my family members and friends and my kids’ friends.

        I don’t understand how the Internet is so anti kids, it’s pretty baffling.

          You say it’s improved your life and the lives of those adjacent to you, your family members, friends, and your kids’ friends. But you haven’t said its improved your kids life. I think that’s what the OP was talking about. A being who doesn’t exist doesn’t desire to exist so making new life isn’t doing them a favor and only exposes them to harm.

            Don’t project your own depression onto others, and non-existent beings.

            If you think existence “only exposes [living things] to harm” and nothing else, nothing even potentially good?

            If you truly believe that, I’ve got no nice way to say this: You need therapy.

              I mean I’m not depressed and I love living, so I wouldn’t be projecting depression on to others.

              I agree that people can experience good things as well as harmful things, but it’s not a risk worth taking. Giving birth is gambling with human life. You never know if someones life experience is going to be overwhelmingly positive or negative, but if they are never born, that’s not even an issue to worry about.
