Antinatalism is GARBAGE
In this video I follow up on my last video talking about antinatalism and debunk some criticisms I got in the comment section.

What’s up guys it is Ethy and today I’m gonna give some more thoughts on some more antinatalist related things that I haven’t touched on. Let’s start with one of the contentions with my objective morality that entails natalism, one of the arguments against it was just an assertion that I’m somehow silly for objectifying morality and using morality in the way it’s most commonly used. Ask the average person if it’s potentially moral to skull fuck a baby if your feelings say to do so, the vast majority of people would say no, you’re fucking crazy so if moral subjectivism which I’m literally defining as subjectivist cognitivism where you think your feelings reflect what’s morally justified and those statements can be true or false but not in virtue of any objective standard, the standard is just your feelings so therefore in essence there’s really no standard at all except your own, then subjectivist cognitivism is incorrect because it doesn’t live up to the most common perception or definition because the vast majority of people think morality is not subjective and if there’s a dichotomy between objective and subjective then morality must be objective to the most common definition. To get the most common conception of morality you have to bring all of the conceptions of value from evaluators into question aka all sentient beings conceptions of value into question and you decide your course of action based on the values of sentient beings. Sentient beings value their values therefore the common conception of value is what sentient beings value. Value is valuable. I try to make it my goal to use the most common definition because that facilitates the most reasoning possible, we need to agree on the definitions of words before speaking to have as productive a conversation as possible. And if you disagree and think we should all be able to use our ridiculously niche definitions of words, think of your ability to reason with an individual who exclusively speaks a language you don’t speak at all. You won’t be able to reason with them, you’ll barely even be able to communicate with them at all. Yes you could learn spanish or whatever language they speak or vice versa but the point is the reasoning process would’ve happened a lot quicker and a lot better if we just had a common language from the start so since a common language or common definitions facilitates maximum reasoning between reasonable beings then to go against this common language would be unreasonable. You’re not doing what’s conducive to reasoning and if you disagree, just think about if all of the scientists that ever existed exclusively spoke different languages, think about the condition that science would be in today. Also, I find it funny that people have told me that I’m somehow silly for objectifying morality, someone actually said not too long ago that I’m stupid because “I’m a teenager who thinks he solved morality,” well I think the fact that I solved morality as a teenager and you still haven’t and you refuse to even after I told you explicitly how to do it, and how to create a perfectly sound argument for objective morality that makes it so skull fucking babies isn’t just a matter of some psychotic motherfucker’s feelings, yeah I think the fact that you haven’t solved morality says more about you than me. Another contention was that morality literally can’t be objective I’m gonna just briefly cover this one because it’s actually brain aids, anything that you define to be objective can be objective to say otherwise is rejection of a priori knowledge which I’d love to hear the argument for if bachelors are defined as unmarried men, bachelors are unmarried men, that’s a priori knowledge and there’s a priori support for that. There’s also a priori support for my objective morality literally being defined as more than your feelings and if it’s more than your feelings it is objective. That’s literally how I’m defining objective and that’s how most people define the word objective: more than just your capricious feelings, my morality is about all feelings. Moving on from objective morality, it seems like the last defence of being anti birth to prevent suffering no matter how much wellbeing or good things will be caused by said birth is just saying that all wellbeing is the deprivation of suffering.
