If that's really someone's list of life's positives then I think we must be a different species. Has their being really slumbered since birth untouched by any glimmer of meaning and mystery? Horrible to contemplate. Some people's souls are an abyss. And it seems to have no correlation with outward success.

This would imply humans have a higher moral calling, which would imply the extistence of a God, which would imply the existence of an afterlife, which would imply anti-natalism is axiomatically incorrect.

In Christianity, there are two possible routes:

Coming into being channeling us into either of these is merely amplification of anti-natalist argument where it's better not to gamble on eternal damnation.

The gallows in my garden, people say,
Is new and neat and adequately tall;
I tie the noose on in a knowing way
As one that knots his necktie for a ball;
But just as all the neighbours–on the wall–
Are drawing a long breath to shout “Hurray!”
The strangest whim has seized me. . . . After all
I think I will not hang myself to-day.

To-morrow is the time I get my pay–
My uncle’s sword is hanging in the hall–
I see a little cloud all pink and grey–
Perhaps the rector’s mother will not call– I fancy that I heard from Mr. Gall
That mushrooms could be cooked another way–
I never read the works of Juvenal–
I think I will not hang myself to-day.

The world will have another washing-day;
The decadents decay; the pedants pall;
And H.G. Wells has found that children play,
And Bernard Shaw discovered that they squall,
Rationalists are growing rational–
And through thick woods one finds a stream astray
So secret that the very sky seems small–
I think I will not hang myself to-day.

ENVOI

Prince, I can hear the trumpet of Germinal,
The tumbrils toiling up the terrible way;
Even to-day your royal head may fall,
I think I will not hang myself to-day.

This doesn't mean that anti-natalist arguments can be dismissed solely due to this fact (inb4 crying about ad hom); it does however add context to why autists make these threads and are completely unable to understand why they are wrong. It also has direct implications regarding Benatar's quality of life argument (i.e. anti-natalists are stuck in a rigid ideological system as a cope for to sustain their defective worldview).

Say you're designing a logo and you want to market test for the most appealing shade of red. Would you want most of those in your sample population to suffer from protanopia?

Anti-natalists are at a complete poverty when it comes to weighing quality of life. Their defective nature simply precludes them from accepting any rationalization outside of their own self-indoctrination. They don't necessarily mean to be disingenuous because such is simply written into their nature.

Also note that the more you talk to them the more you'll realize a sick fascination with harm, violence, and death. These people don't want to reduce harm, they want to justify their resentment and spread their misery.

Usually, it's the low IQ ones who fuck and reproduce the most, and it's the intelligent people who fall into inceldom or conclude that it's better either postpone procreation or pass on it altogether.

Not really, Christians are more about the 10 commandments and that Paul guy.
Anti-natalism fits Christian framework just fine insofar as chastity or celibacy is considered a virtue, and we show how our posterity might get punished in hell.
That's one of the reasons I don't take anti-Christian stance, it's possible to corner them in their own religion.
Muslims, as well as less.. self-critic peoples on the other hand seem to be unconvertable into AN, which requires some other solution.

Since Anti-Natalism supposes that it's not having been is beneficial for the person not created, the logical conclusion for any given Anti-Natalist to ensure sterilization of the group they like the most.

So a white supremacist AN would advocate for sterilization of white people,
a black supremacist AN would advocate for sterilization of black people,
a liberal AN would advocate for sterilization of the oppressed groups and minorities,
a communist AN would advocate for sterilization of the proletariat,
a capitalist AN would advocate for sterilization of the rich.

It's funny how it plays out.
