Dude if people really have such a problem with life, they can in fact opt out of it at pretty much any point down the line.

Yeah but like, why not let those with the best understanding of the particular circumstances make that decision on a case-by-case basis instead of unilaterally saying that because some people are probably going to have a shitty life no one gets to make more (people)?

If someone experiences so much suffering that they are pushed to “opt out of it”, it would have been better not to force them to live and experience the suffering in the first place. Just because someone can take themselves out of it doesn’t make the suffering okay to inflict.

And we do, frequently. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death for autistic people.

Yes, and I think that is bad. I just also think that this isn’t because of anything intrinsic to being alive and/or autistic, but largely due to external factors.

And what control do we have over these external factors? Because it sounds like you’re basically summing this up as ‘skill issue’, you get that right?

Victim blaming autistic people who commit suicide is a great look on you. You should be so proud of this line of reasoning.

So where does birth rank as the leading cause of death?

So if your kid doesn’t want to fight in the water wars you’re just gonna say “lol kys nerd”? Tragic.

Firstly, I don’t have a kid. Being sterile (and also just not wanting any), I am quite unlikely to ever have a kid. Ideally we as a society would work to avoid water wars happening. My point is that we should improve our collective state of affairs somewhat, rather than resigning ourselves to the idea that to exist is to suffer like a bunch of loser doomers.

There’s no fixing to this shit and deep down you know this.

I saw how humanity got together to deal with COVID. Spoiler: they fucking didn’t.

What a garbage species we are.
