I first learned about anti-natalism and the likes of David Benatar in an ethics class about 12 years ago. At the time I thought it was all pretty silly. As time goes on I've come to understand the points a little more. Nowadays my fiancée and I are on the same page about not wanting to subject a child to this world.
