The Harm of Coming Into Existence
Ratings5
Average rating2.8
This is a book which decides on an ultimatum of rules about things we do not know like death or the functionality of life in the universe, the reason why we came to have a consiousness in the first place (Doubt any parents manifested that). It provides a lot of topics to think about and it does this on the pretext that it will reduce harm which is not a bad intention. The author supposes that they are correct and have the answer.
It is written in a redundant, repetitive way. The asymmetry provided even if true cannot account for things we haven't experienced, it cannot answer how life interacts with whatever is beyond life.
Possibly having a society which entertains this mindset could bring more tolerance, understanding of pessimism and bring people to want to reduce suffering more, put blame on people who cannot handle this experience less.
