Antinatalism is a luxury belief, full stop. It's preached almost exclusively by comfortable Westerners with full refrigerators, while the global poor, the people actually living close to the bone, keep having children because children are hope and labor and old-age security. There's something grotesque about the most privileged humans in history concluding that existence itself is a harm, from inside air conditioning. If your philosophy of life could only be invented by people who have never been hungry, it might be a mood rather than a truth.
