Arguments against Antinatalism
==============================
## Your suffering is a First World Problem.
An anonymous commenter on [The View from Hell][] provides an example of this
common argument:

In other words, if there are many people who are much worse off than you, you
can't claim to suffer.
I find that a very strange argument. If even privileged people suffer greatly,
isn't that an argument *for* antinatalism, namely that even greatly improved
average circumstances don't fix suffering? Shouldn't we therefore conclude that
many more people suffer than we typically think?
What the arguments seems to be doing is to critize people for requesting help.
Basically, if someone else needs help much more than you, you shouldn't be
bringing your pain to our attention. You're just wasting resources that way.
That's not a bad point, but it is not an argument against preventing births. If
less people are made, less will suffer and we can take better care of the rest.
Practical Implications

Is this just a contrarian position? Are you merely signalling how deep and

# Religious Analogies
This is not a completely serious section. It doesn't provide actual arguments,
really. Just because some religion or old ascetic supported something like
antinatalism, doesn't mean it's right. But I still find it interesting how
*common* the position actually is. There is obvious [memetic][meme] pressure to
remove antinatalism from any religion, but it still survives for some reason.

I'm totally biased.
## Higher Criticism
aka Historical Criticism
First rule of Higher Criticism: anything that survived in writing must have
served someone's purpose.[^writing] Because writing was so expensive and
time-consuming, no-one would've written anything down unless they saw a use in
it. Thus, there are no quotes or stories in any text unless someone *wanted*
them there.
[^writing]: This rule stops being true once we reach the modern times with
ubiquitous writing. It's so cheap to document stuff now that we get a lot of
unintentional or at least un-edited text.
## Conventions
I'm sticking to a few rules in this overview (and the rest of my writing).
