Debunking the most common natalist argument: "If your parents thought that way, you wouldn't be here!"

I agree with the reasoning but I don't get why you think having children is bad. I don't want children perse but I got the feeling from some of your FB posts that you think it is immoral to have them. A blogpost about that would be interesting.

Well, you can argue that having children is immoral - see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinatalism
You decide whether this is legit or not.

Well, I can personally say that, if death was certain and transhumanism impossible, I would rather never have been born. But I rather judge procreation for the effect it has in those partaking (Just like I judge crack cocaine abuse) and for destroying our society by reinforcing traditional femininity, which holds back innovation and the economy.

I'm considering writing one :). Now mind you, I do not say that one should use force to stop people from doing it. I just think it's a very bad decision for yourself, very irrational and very much surrendering the nature in stead of transcending it. I'll write a post about it :)
