    No. And thats the reason i don’t have kids.

    Humanity is rotten, and personally i don’t think we’ll ever change. The best thing that can happen to earth is for humanity to collapse and become extinct.

    Absolutely.

    A. Even with how shit the world is there’s enough good that exists for it to be worth it.

    B. If I didn’t exist, I would never have a chance to help improve the world in my small way.

    I’m echoing a lot of the replies here by saying “No.” Even if I’m given a choice as to what kind of life I’d live, still no.

    Even if people say there’s a lot of good things in life, or that there are people living their dreams in this world, still no. I don’t play the lottery, even if I might end up with more money than I could ever hope to spend. The same logic applies here.

    There would be no me to regret not existing if I don’t exist.

      Not existing is neither bad nor good, existence is the experience of both good and bad things. Don’t only focus on the bad ones.

    Oh fuck no. For my entire life I’ve resented having to be alive. You try being a suicidally inclined 7 year old and see how you like it. The fact that it’s impossible to ask someone if they want to be born is enough for me to never want to have kids, always had been. Forcing existence and cognizance on a human being is unspeakably fucking cruel.

    I mean, the universe is just an experiment in experience. Even with the bullshit, it’s better to have been than to never have been

    Yes. Everything is pointless and nothing is forever. Might as well enjoy the life we’ve got. Non-existence is better for some people, but I think on the whole life is worth living for most people.

    I lean no, but it’s close. On the one hand, life is meaningless and hurts. On the other I’ve gotten to see some cool things.

    I reckon so, yeah. Better than nothing, right? Been plenty of good with the bad. That’s about all a disembodied energy form could really hope for, after all.
