I could give some examples but what is the point given that last sentence of yours in the first paragraph, you clearly don't know much about or respect philosophy, and beyond that it isn't really relevant. I'll keep referring to my thoughts as a philosophy but if you don't like that just mentally sub out the word for something else, it doesn't really matter.

I have no respect for people who think philosophy never fails or who use it to justify/buttress stupid beliefs or to con people. I've been calling antinatalism a philosophy this whole time in case you didn't notice, genius. So you can keep calling it what it is and I will too. Now that you know my disrespect isn't for philosophy itself you can go ahead and list those examples. And maybe go look up the meaning of "extremism". You might be surprised that it's not a synonym for terrorism.

Turns out you're right about the age of the sun, at least partially. It won't be closer to the earth, but it will be burning too bright and hot for the earth to sustain life. The sun won't start to expand until it begins to transition into a red giant in 5 billion years. How long did it take for humans to split from apes?

If you were consistent in your views shouldn't you extend antinatalism to all animals? Your reason for not doing so is because they're just "automatons" and don't experience suffering the same as we do. But how do you know that? Have we fully assessed the sapience of all animals? Do you use the same excuse to justify factory farming? Is the way that we experience suffering all that matters? What about children born with brain defects who don't experience suffering the same? What is the objective measure of suffering that you're using?
