    I vastly prefer non-optimal life to not existing at all.

    How could you possibly know that? Do you remember not existing?

      If I didn’t want to exists I would commit a suicide. The fact that I don’t want to do that indicates to me that it’s better for me to exist than not.

        There is a massive difference between never existing and taking existence away from someone that already has it

          From subjective experience theres no difference. The moment you cease to exists you could just as well have never existed.

          Also not existing is not something you do. Choosing to prevent something for existing that otherwise would have is. We’re however getting quite far from my original argument here which is that not making children because you think the world is an awful place and life is not worth living is, in my opinion, a bad reason.
