    They’re just plain arguing in bad faith. Persuasion, debate, and spreading ideology online are definitely an attempt to control others, just because it’s not physically coercive yet doesn’t make it exempt from any moral examination. They are seeking influence without accountability.

    We are humanity, and we have barely begun to get silly. Arrogance is in our blood, ambition is our food and drink, and hubris is the air we breathe. We’ve been lurching from one disaster to the next since the ice age, clinging to this rock by our fingernails every time, and laughing the whole way.

    We are not space elves. We are not wise. We do almost nothing but stumble, but we’re laughing the whole way. These antinatalists just don’t get the joke.

      Is the funny bit all the suffering?
