I've flirted with some aspects of anti natalism, as I am not having kids and generally believe people have them for the wrong reasons, but I still dont completely grasp Benatars theory fully. Saying that pain is a worse feeling than pleasure is a good feeling is completely subjective. And the crux of his argument seems to lie on the fact that non existence (absence of ANY feelings) is preferable to consciousness is wholly unknowable. Nobody knows what happens before you are bornor after you die. Just because you don't remember what happened before you were born does not equal coming to fruition from a meaningless void.
