What is there to think about? Some guy is contrasting his antinatalist philosophy with how it is described in another video by some other guy. It's quite silly; he should have had a discussion/ debate with the other person, rather than make a video reaction to a video.

    [quote]What is there to think about?[/quote]Oh, I don't know. The philosophy? [quote]It's quite silly; he should have had a discussion/ debate with the other person, rather than make a video reaction to a video.[/quote]Why? The whole point is to have a group discussion on the entire philosophy, which is important, because the scope of the philosophy stretches across [i]all of humanity[/i]. It would do the most good if the message is spread across so that public discourse can be achieved, you silly f­uck. He didn't just make a "video reaction". Someone responded to him, criticizing him, and uploaded the video onto YouTube. Why should he not follow suit? What a ridiculous post you just shat out. I mean really. Was this really that difficult? I really had to explain that to you? Dammit.

  • Well, you asked what my thoughts were on the video, not the philosophy of antinatalism itself ("Thoughts on this video?"). And he more or less did make a video reaction/response. He made a video, featuring himself reacting and responding to another video regarding him. The silliness isn't in responding, but rather the indirect and borderline passive aggressive method of response. He should have invited the other person to a discussion on antinatalism and how he (mis)represented it in a direct discourse, which either or both of the two could have streamed or uploaded to the public. You should work on your reading comprehension. As for antinatalism, I don't really agree with the concept, but there are parts of the philosophy to which I do agree. Yes we should be more aware of overpopulation, and there is a societal issue with thinking that having a child leads to happiness in and of itself. But while I understand that there will be suffering, fear, and imperfection for the foreseeable future, we are, have been, and are continuing on a long (yet effective) path to bettering our condition as a species, using the tools we have created and are constantly refining. Tools such as societies, the sciences, medicine, philosophy, the arts, religions (your mileage may vary on that one), and culture to name but a small few. There have been missteps along the way, and there will be missteps going forward, but time has shown that these missteps only refine and reenforce humanity's ability to achieve greatness. It would be defeatist to surrender that chance for some future generation or whatever other species potentially rises up next to see that greatness, and I am personally far too stubborn to accept defeat uncontested.

    You phrased your topic incorrectly, and got a proper response to that question. The stupidity is on your end. You're welcome. EDIT: Also, you took a sad and obvious tactic to dodge giving a proper response. The stupidity is on your end more so than before. Happy to inform.

  • And you're a useless c­unt whose opinion has no value to me, on the account that you are concerned with the smallest and least important of details. I wish the cruelest of deaths for you, for being such a pointless waste of my time. You're welcome. C­unt.

    Well if you can't enjoy the smallest bit of ribbing, I can see why you'd want to have not had to exist in the first place. This has been a glorious insight into your sad little mind. As for your (rather pathetically founded) wish for my end, I can tell you that I take the utmost [i]pleasure[/i] that merely by the act of [i]continuing to exist[/i], I upset a wretch such as yourself. I wish you to live a long and healthy life, as so you may best be able to wallow in the bitter knowledge that I live. Enjoy.

  • [quote]you'd want to have not had to exist[/quote]Quality f­ucking sentence structure from the person who's gonna "rib" [i]me[/i] for having too vague of a f­ucking thread title for your stupid ass. And no, I am not literally referring to your ass. It's merely an expression of my utter contempt for you. I know you're a little slow and literal-minded. [quote]I wish you[/quote]You wish me?[quote]as so you may[/quote]As so I may? God, you suck. And no, you will die. You'll get yours. And it will suck, for you. It [i]will[/i] happen. And the less people like you exist, the happier Verbatim will be. Your existence is birth control for intelligent folk.

  • By gods. I dared wax a little poetic in my sentence structure. I used some form of PROSE! METER, EVEN! I should have been more sensitive to your reading comprehension disabilities. Innumerable apologies.

  • You continue to feed me greatly, that which I love so very much; an angry fool digging and stretching and grasping for continually diminishing SHADOWS of an argument long since lost. And in turn, I will again feed you with my casually profound prose, as so I may further frustrate and confound, so I may yet again [i]lavish[/i] in that air so filled by your sweet miseries.
