I don't remember why I brought it up. I think it was because you seemed to imply that because it's philosophy it can't reasonably be refuted. There are peer reviewed papers refuting this philosophy.

To answer my own question, 5-6 million years. Kind of weird to say "my philosophy" when you didn't come up with it. The dude who came up with it was mentioned earlier in the topic by the other antinatalist.

No what I'm thinking of is definitely an aspect of antinatalism. The lunatic who came up with this "efilism"(a word I had never heard until this moment) calls it "advanced antinatalism" and "secular atheism". Pure garbage philosophy. Here's the youtube "philosopher" who came up with it(he argues that you should drown cats to end their suffering):

I mean, this is the obvious answer I expected from you, which is why I posed other questions there. It doesn't matter. At the end of the day this philosophy is based on highly subjective concepts that I doubt you could answer for. I'm sure Mr. Benatar has answers. He has injected his philosophy with answers to every objection. He even calls into question our ability to assess our own happiness. So if you thought you were happy think again, you should never have been born.

I'm interested in those papers since no one itt has come close to refuting a single one of the points I've made (with some still going unadressed), I'll have to look for them.

Your whole thread about life evolving after humans is totally irrelevant to the case I'm making just like you philosophy tangent and the concern for non human animals. I don't know how many times I have to repeat this for you to understand and stop wasting my time with it.

Another irrelevant time waster is you being obtuse enough to think when I say "my philosophy" I mean I invented anti-natalism. The United States is "my" country but I'm not saying I own it or anything when I say that. Also David Benatar is not the person who invented the idea either, he's just the popularized it in the modern era. There are old testament bible verses of men like Job lamenting that they had the misfortune of being born instead of dying in their mother's womb, and the general idea is almost assuredly older than that even.

I suppose I will say nothing that guy in the video says is wrong, it's just that the state of cats isn't a priority for anti-natalists. I also like how you call it garbage philosophy while in the same breath saying you only just now heard about it. Basing your understanding of it off of probably a free mintures worth of googling, very professional.
