I don't think the good in existence can make up for the bad

[Bloitzhole]

That is a completely worthless existence but mercifully short.

Again, you are assigning worth and are doing so throughout every statement you make about existence. What makes an existence worthwhile? Is it lack of suffering or more joy than suffering as you seem to propose? Why?

If existence never ever happened at all full stop, that would have been better

By which metric? Just your personal feelings based on nothing beyond that? If so and if all your insights are derived from nothing more than this, why do you feel you are in a competent position to pass universal judgement?

Yes. Lack of suffering not more joy IMO unless every life outweighed the bad (no Christ-like figures born to just suffer and die, every single one must adhere).

There may be some creatures who love pain and bad things. It seems most humans share that feeling though, when a couple is told that if they conceive their child will be severely crippled etc they rarely have kids.

The Absolute does not give a fuck about good or bad. Good and bad don't even exist objectively. So we are making a subjective value judgement as to whether we like pain or pleasure.

I think OP just took his first philosophy 101 class or something and now feels like he must enlighten the world. Only an annoying, know-it-all university student would behave this way.

OP, no one cares. You are not the first person to ever have these thoughts or ideas— most adults have had them. You clearly don’t believe in what you are saying enough to act on it, just enough to post it on some autistic website where people are going to bully you.

You are not as smart as you think you are.

As long as there isn’t a God everything the OP says is true and it is hilarious to watch kiwis get upset about it and try to deny it. If the universe exists without a God humans have been cursed by existence.

If there is a God all arguments in this thread are irrelevant either way.
