Sorry, what?

Life is awesome, the sky, the sea, ice cream - all of it. I'm only sorry that I don't get to stay here longer.

Sure we suffer sometimes, and some people suffer more than others. But to insist that we stop reproducing in an attempt to end human life just to avoid pain...

And as for purpose, find your own purpose.

I think you need to read the post that lays out the argument -- the lack of purpose is not considered a negative. Also, I think your assertion that life is awesome would carry more weight if the things you listed were things you experience daily rather than once in a blue moon.

If you are interested in having a discussion about this, comment on the blog post that presents the argument. I'm sure the author will engage (gently).

Yeah, because ice cream the sky and the sea are things I experience once in a blue moon... pretty sure I see the sky everyday, eat ice cream most hot days and I live by the coast, so...

In any case, those were obviously examples, like I need to argue why life is awesome...

If you don't want to discuss it on HN, then don't post to HN...

FWIW, I do not agree entirely with the author's conclusions, but his intentions are good and I thought the entrepreneurial/change-the-world nature of his project would make it a good fit for HN.

This is what we can call a worthless piece of shitty argumentation.
