The case for not being born

Life is bad but death is not preferable. No course of action is offered - not procreating may be morally preferable within this system of belief but in the main it will change nothing - humanity will not change its course.

The philosopher wishes to remain reclusive so as not to taint the force of his argument by allowing cheap psychologizing of his character. But this reclusiveness is itself telling - his philosophy is yet another attempt to fetishize the act of doing philosophy by elevating it above the fray of human action- a superior form of life unrestrained by corporeal needs. Here taken to its logical limit.

Unless the philosopher puts his money where his mouth is I call bullshit.
