>>8 the missing link was that you supposedly are op and believe the shit you are talking in 1 + Metaphysical Solipsism => only you have the power to end the cycle for ever. that's all there is to it. even if we accept that everyone does in fact exist (this doesn't seem true, at the very least those who aren't able to introspect must be p-zombies, but whatever) then the ball is in each person's court, and most people seem to value individual autonomy. you can argue that people should stop breeding, but since it could be argued until you have any autonomy at all you are not sentient and as soon as you do have autonomy you can just stop your existence i don't see what the problem is. unless you are willing to just start literally killing people the only thing you can actually do is not breed yourself. but again if you actually think life is only either neutral or bad, then why are you still actively taking part in the cycle of your own life? there is something keeping you in this experience, and that something is you.
i haven't read enough philosophy to put the thoughts together in a single thread that follows a-> z or whatever, but i'm pretty sure i've put enough pieces to the puzzle down that this should be understandable. But i also thought that the first time. if there's a piece of this that doesn't fit, instead of just telling me you think it doesn't fit, i'd need to have some grasp of why you think it doesn't follow. to me it seems self evident.
