Utilitarian brainworms or one of the many very real instances of a homicidal parent going after their disabled child? I can't decide, but it's a depressing read.

May end up on SRD, but you read it here first.

If we see a child with no legs, we conclude they will never run(with the obvious objections out of the way). We should then be able to similarly imagine a mind that will never have the courage to kill themselves, or only after they have needlessly suffered for decades.

What the fuck are you talking about you inane little hitler

    this response is almost definitely going to pop into my head the next time I unfortunately read Reddit posts

    speaking of inane little hitlers, Reddit drug understander nootropic_expert (of course) sees nothing wrong with dosing kids without their consent:

    As i'm antinatalist l wouldn't have a kid but lets try to answer that hypothetical Q.

    So I would support my kid in funding whatever would sooth his existence. In 2023 I would try psychedelics and even chronic opioid usage if psychs wouldn't help.

    dear reddit, as an antinatalist, [worst opinion you’ve ever seen omitted for brevity]

    Rationality intensifying.

    actually fuck it I want to revisit this: these people have convinced themselves thinking machines are right around the corner, and are simultaneously able to twist their brains into knots imagining a reality in which we don’t currently have advanced assistive devices and prosthetics that are constantly getting better?

    like, I know there’s some bullshit gotcha “well you see, then the prosthetic’s running, not them” lurking here, and god damn would that be a fucking stance for the brain uploading any day now crowd to pull directly out of their ass
