I found this community to get more insights into the people behind AI doomerism following the recent media panic. While I discovered lots of weird stuff about EA, longtermism, which kinda comfirmed my intuitive mistrust towards ideas from this spectrum. However I have seen some sympathy towards antinatalism from the critics of TESCREAL community which I can not relate to at all, so I just wanted to know if one avoid falling into antinatalism while simultaneously discrediting TESCREAL ideologies?
I think this has been asked and answered (as a non-issue), so we can close this down.
I think you might be confusing some jokes here for real things. Im certainly not an anti natalist, even if I dont want kids myself. And I also dont want humanity to end, just wish we had different priorities and different ways of dealing with people with a lot of power.
The problem is not that they want kids, it’s that they’re nazis OP
What are you asking? The common ground is that people who want a lot of babies can make as many as they want and people who dont want any simply refrain from doing so.
Edit: You sound like youre looking for a middle-ground cult to join.
what
Uh yeah. Be a normal person who doesn’t subscribe to either weirdo pro- or anti-natalism.
It’s nor very hard.
I think liberalism is against pro-natalism and anti-natalism alike. It’s the radical stance to let people make decisions that make sense for them without trying to manipulate or coerce them one way or another. The issue isn’t about natalism, but about individual agency.
TIL there are “anti-natalists”.
I guess they’re part of the voluntary extinction movement?
