If I’m just being asked to be born in a randomized way in a randomized location to a randomized family in randomized situations … then no

If I had a choice of where, when and what circumstances I would like to be born in? … then yes I would like those odds better and would like to be born.

Yes! I’d rather there be something than nothing. It’s a wonder that anything exists at all

Yes, but with better teeth.

Fuck no.

Now? No.
If I had the choice I’d wait a century or two

I reckon so, yeah. Better than nothing, right? Been plenty of good with the bad. That’s about all a disembodied energy form could really hope for, after all.

_naw

Depends. What’s the alternative?

Yeah, it’s worth it. Plus maybe I can help.

Even if my life currently is not bad, there are and have been bad times. Not existing is never bad. So no.

No

Yes. Alternative doesn’t actually exist, to some degree.

Even being able to process this question means some amount of knowledge to understand it.

Even then, yes. Every time. Existing is the best we know we’ve got.

Oh fuck no. For my entire life I’ve resented having to be alive. You try being a suicidally inclined 7 year old and see how you like it. The fact that it’s impossible to ask someone if they want to be born is enough for me to never want to have kids, always had been. Forcing existence and cognizance on a human being is unspeakably fucking cruel.

I’m echoing a lot of the replies here by saying “No.” Even if I’m given a choice as to what kind of life I’d live, still no.

Even if people say there’s a lot of good things in life, or that there are people living their dreams in this world, still no. I don’t play the lottery, even if I might end up with more money than I could ever hope to spend. The same logic applies here.

There would be no me to regret not existing if I don’t exist.

I don’t know what I would choose, I was just a little baby at the time
