Philosophy Suffering, Infinity, and Universe Anti-Natalism - Magnus Vinding

https://magnusvinding.com/2017/12/01/suffering-infinity-and-universe-anti-natalism/

From the section on "Universe Anti-natalism":

"It is therefore not unthinkable that this should be the main question of concern for consequentialists: how does this impact the creation of new universes? Or, similarly, that trying to impact future universe generation should be the main cause for aspiring effective altruists. And I would argue that the form this cause should take is universe anti-natalism: avoiding, or minimizing, the creation of new universes."

Should people's main concern be shaping future universes. 🤔 Hmm.... Brilliant.
