There's actually no definitive proof that you didn't ask to be here. Maybe you were some ethereal blob before who did choose and just have no memory of it.

But was it really me then?

Calm down, Theseus.

You could say nothing is true and everything is possible but that would be an argument from ignorance and also a Russian propaganda technique.

TIL: that a religious belief dating back hundreds/thousands of years (that humans consented to take the "test of life") is really just Russian propaganda from 2014.

The anti-natalists have a point.

Counter point: you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them".

Anti-natalism is just disguised facsist eugenics, in the same vein as eco-facsism.

And this is why I’m sterile.

I don’t want to be here, and I sure as shit don’t want to do that to someone else.. plus I don’t want to take care of some miniature asshole version of myself; I’m bad enough to deal with.

I can barely tolerate guests. No way can I do that to myself let alone make someone stay with me who has no say in the matter.
