Just wanted to prove that political diversity ain’t dead. Remember, don’t downvote for disagreements.

    I do find topics like natalism and deathism quite fascinating. I’m not certain you’re correct, but I do think what you’re saying is very plausible. I lean more utilitarian, so I find it hard to justify the notion of debt to a specific entity – after all, if you can do right by the entity you create, shouldn’t it be equally good to do right by another entity?

      Do you agree you have a debt to creatures you fuck into existence with your own genitalia?

        Let’s keep the language chill if you don’t mind.

        Yes, assuming such a thing as debt exists. In a different and better world where life is inherently positive, there might not be a debt.

          ???

          If you don’t like how I talk, I guess we’re done here, because I don’t accept your terms. Be reassured at least there was no mal-intent.

          Like, fuck.

            Basically, I’m saying yes, one owes a debt to their children. I just don’t know how to prove that the concept of “debt” exists at all morally. But assuming it does and it behaves like I think it should, then yes.
