2018-01-19 at 2:46 AM UTC in are there any other animes as fap worthy as kiss x sis?Enter, you should watch Prison School. I wouldn't say it's as fap worthy, but it combines erotocism with a high level of absurd comedy in a very unique way. One of my top anime, it's what made me realize the potential ecchi could have.

If college doesn’t go well, and there’s a very good chance it won’t (I’m not referring to being unable to pass, but finding the environment intolerable.), there’s a good chance you’ll see me on the news later this year. -

2018-01-18 at 8:31 AM UTC in Regarding my sonThe prevention of suffering should be prioritized over the creation of pleasure when deciding whether or not to create new lives. The say to prevent it for certain is to refrain from creating lives. I have seen no convincing argument for why eventual extinction would be a negative event.

Originally posted by Lanny And it brings us back to the issue I posed to you in my first post: what principal justifies the avoidance of suffering which doesn't justify the pursuit of happiness?
You’re attempting to justify the creation of a being who has a need to pursue happiness. There isn’t necessarily anything wrong with pursuing happiness for already existing beings. No amount of suffering should justify that, it being needless.
There are countless problems with the creation of life and existence and refraining from procreating avoids all of them. -
2018-01-18 at 5:51 AM UTC in Regarding my sonI’m challenging the idea that creating beings that can experience happiness and pleasure is a positive act. It isn’t. Sentient existence is not a positive thing. It is needless and guarantees suffering. Those beings don’t exist.

Originally posted by Lanny No, not at all. Did you not read my post? Like do you think the only two options here are "have as many children as possible" and "end the human race"?
Obviously, as I've repeated multiple times.
I don't really get what you're trying to say here. I never said anything about lamenting happy lives.
Your ideology is too vague. By what metric do you decide whether a life is worth living. There are problems with self-reports, and the vast majority of people seem to consider their lives to be worth continuing, even the severely disabled. In alignment with this there would likely be a net increase in utility even if the poorest people continued to breed like rodents.
Well, we're already gambling with lives and the guaranteed way to prevent lives that produce net negative utility to be brought into existence is to cease from procreating.What if it increased so that the happy lives averaged out to +.1% net positive utility. At what point does it become immoral and is utility all that matters? Why should the happy lives be lamented if non-existent beings aren't harmed by not being brought into existence? There's no point where needlessly gambling with potential lives stops being immoral, there's always some level of risk.
If you add the utility of the positive and negative lives there's .1 percentile point positive utility. The point was to provide an example whether you begin to question whether it truly is justifiable to commit an act that is guaranteed to generate negative net utility for certain individuals. You could see them as a sacrifice for creating beings with needs, which I don't see any need for. -

2018-01-18 at 1:37 AM UTC in Regarding my sonImagine a world where lives were born with equal levels of positive and negative utility. One life wholly worth living, one life that counters that. Would you want to prevent the child who suffers from coming into existence? What if it increased so that the happy lives averaged out to +.1% net positive utility. At what point does it become immoral and is utility all that matters? Why should the happy lives be lamented if non-existent beings aren't harmed by not being brought into existence? There's no point where needlessly gambling with potential lives stops being immoral, there's always some level of risk.
Aversion to death and the will to leave are both strongly biologically mediated and vary between individuals. The fear of death is one of the greatest fears there is. If people were modified so that it was even stronger, to the point where they may state they want to live regardless of how much suffering they experience and the probability of a positive outcome, when would it be considered inhumane to not intervene and cease their suffering? -
2018-01-18 at 1:18 AM UTC in Regarding my sonSo in accordance with your view, should people have as many children as possible?

Maybe it was just because you were fat. Being afraid to hurt yourself is exactly the kind of excuse a fat person would make. -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon Malice, rather than parroting the same shit you read like a retard, then going for the personal attack when your canned argument is rekt, use your brain: attack Lanny's appeal to utility. Utilitarianism itself is ripe for criticism.
I'm not going to enter the argument but goddamn, use your fucking head.
Oh, that reminded me. Lanny, how do you deal with the repugnant conclusion? I swear to god you're probably going to embrace it.
