No, it doesn’t. They don’t exist therefore there is no weight in their existence. Something that does not exist has no moral component to it whatsoever
So what you're saying is that potential children have no rights that should be protected, no childcare, no healthcare infrastructure set up ahead of time, no ordinances banning or restricting smoking, no land usage and zoning laws, just pop out kids like it's going out of style and they deserve no equal consideration?
You have to be trolling.
No, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Those who don’t exist have no moral considerations whatsoever as measuring any experience of a non-being is impossible
Not that I ever took your pseudo-intellectual contrarianism seriously, but this is the point that you lost me. I genuinely hope that you take a chill pill and self-reflect. I hope you find some kind of peace, in the future.
And I am not the one who needs to find peace as I am not upset by the basic concepts of Marxism and biology
If someone cannot experience anything then the conditions of reality are irrelevant. They do not exist and therefore cannot be a moral agent. How in the world is this contrarian? Almost every single ideological or philosophical framework I can think of accepts this concept. It’s essentially universal.
