Damn right I would.
Certainly not.
Why not?
gestures vaguely at everything
I would rather have not experienced my life.
Just because things haven’t been great so far doesn’t mean they won’t be better in the future. I hope you are able to improve your life into something you want to experience.
…rimjob_steve
Found something to live for lmao
Can we make them better tomorrow? I mean we’ve generated enough wealth.
To be able to make such choice implies that I already exist in some form.
And I’d probably be too afraid of non-existence to choose not being born.
Life sucks, but I also don’t want to “not-exist”. Its terrifying.
Can I just be a ghost floating around and just “chill” and observe? Perhaps in the company of other ghosts to talk to…
Non-existence isn’t scary, scary thing is losing your existence.
Yeah, I didn’t exist for billions of years and I’m fine…ish. idk what happens after though
Same thing that happened before. You were fine with not existing before hand.
This was my immediate thought also, whatever part of me that is making the decision already exists so this is the same question as “would you want to stop existing now?” the answer to which is an emphatic “no.” I’d exist indefinitely given the choice.
Yup same thoughts!
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.
Like, now? No way. I would choose to continue my unborn existence. However, if I could choose a time period, that would be a different story.
naw
Absolutely. I’m not terribly privileged, but while the difficulties of life are non-trivial, overall I’ve experienced enough joy to justify the expense.
Fuck no.
no.
Same
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.
Yes. If I’m actually some kind of cosmic being that can choose to be born yes, I am taking that pill. I’m taking all the experience pills.
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.
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.
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.
God no. And I won’t have kids either. Spare them having to think about it.
