Philosophy was a mistake

CA fertility bomber left a manifesto describing himself as a pro-mortalist, arguing people didn't give consent to be born:

"I'm very against IVF, it's extremely wrong. These are people having kids after they've sat there and thought about it. How much more stupid can it get?"

Not teaching philosophy was a mistake.

Allowing freedom of deviant conservative thought is a root problem.

Well I’m certainly thankful that no one but him was killed in the blast.

The NRA has posthumously awarded the bomber an honorary gun

Don’t bring Nietzsche into this! (Wait, totally bring Nietzsche into this…and Sartre…and Camus…and…)

Existentialism has led to the collapse of Western Culture (yes, it is in a state of collapse). Try Integral Philosophy.

I keep reading it. Hoping it'll make sense. It just doesn't.

My sympathies to his parents.

Wow no his philosophy was a mistake and unproven. Not all of philosophy is a mistake.

pklinkne.bsky.social•35 days ago

Honestly, if I had sat there and thought about it, I probably wouldn't have had kids.

His statement is the least philosophical one you could possibly hope for. It’s wrong on so many reasons, failing classical logical syllogism rules, and baked in w/ a deep misunderstanding of basic science.

Philosophy would have helped him.

4chan was the mistake.

He is just suicidal.

mind-ur-business.bsky.social•34 days ago

And needs someone to blame

stirlingnewberry.bsky.social•34 days ago

He has a complex regarding the chemicals in his brain, and needs treatment. Unfortunately, our society does not wish to understand only to assign punishment.

It's bad for everyone all the way round.

I remember my then-teenaged son making the same argument, “I didn’t ask to be born!”, while throwing a tantrum over being asked to take out the trash.

I’m glad he grew up.

One might say in this case a tiny bit more logic may be helpful

semperfitrex.bsky.social•35 days ago

"I'm angry that I exist, and someone has to suffer for it."

"The people who have wronged you?"

"Nah, just some random people wanting to have kids."
