    No. And thats the reason i don’t have kids.

    Humanity is rotten, and personally i don’t think we’ll ever change. The best thing that can happen to earth is for humanity to collapse and become extinct.

    To be able to make such choice implies that I already exist in some form.

    And I’d probably be too afraid of non-existence to choose not being born.

    Life sucks, but I also don’t want to “not-exist”. Its terrifying.

    Can I just be a ghost floating around and just “chill” and observe? Perhaps in the company of other ghosts to talk to…

    Absolutely.

    A. Even with how shit the world is there’s enough good that exists for it to be worth it.

    B. If I didn’t exist, I would never have a chance to help improve the world in my small way.

    Yes. Everything is pointless and nothing is forever. Might as well enjoy the life we’ve got. Non-existence is better for some people, but I think on the whole life is worth living for most people.

    I lean no, but it’s close. On the one hand, life is meaningless and hurts. On the other I’ve gotten to see some cool things.

    Like, now? No way. I would choose to continue my unborn existence. However, if I could choose a time period, that would be a different story.

    Warning: ITT, lots of nonresponse bias.

    Life dissatisfaction guides people to type no;
    neutrally satisfied folks will skip;
    the relatively contented might type a “yes” or be offline.
    With today’s historical context, there’s a bit of a skew, especially for those hanging out online o( ; ´ ﹏ `;)o

    As for me, I’m excepted. I have decent dissatisfaction rather often, but arrogantly – I’d be born a million times, every time (unless you ask me at a bad moment).

    Even at my worst, why do I not roll over and die? “I want to see how my story ends.”

      No is not such a pleasant decision in this question, in order to answer this way you need to really feel or witness really bad things. Therefore, a large number of such answers says something…

    Maybe if I had the choice of where and when to be born. Much too risky to leave it up to chance though
