[Intro Note: (1) this "post" is, technically, a "question", for which there's a separate category on LW. I debated posting it as a "question", but it also involves considerable argumentation for my own views. Ideally there'd be some in-between "question/post" category, but I opted for "post"? I understand if a reader thinks this should have been categorized as a "question", though, and would appreciate criteria considerations for how to distinguish these categories on the site in the comments--maybe "dialogue" would be better? (2) My goal in posting on LW is to become less wrong, not to persuade, get upvotes, etc. My recent first post was significantly downvoted, as I expected. I naively expected some debate, though--in particular, I expected someone to say, like, "Metzinger and Benatar have already argued this". Anyway, I've revisited site norm guidelines to check my cynicism. I'm trying, sincerely, to write "good content". I'm sure I can do better. I don't mind being downvoted/buried, and I don't mind rude comments. I would, though, genuinely appreciate rational/logical explanations as to why, if I am "not good", or am producing "low quality content", this is so. Please, don't just passively bury my arguments/questions without offering any explanation as to why. That's all I ask. I maintain several controversial philosophical views. I'm not a contrarian or provocateur, but simply a heretic. I can list my controversial views: I support anti-natalism and am against intelligence-augmentation (see my first post); I support free, voluntary access to euthanasia; I am pro-impulsive/irrational-suicide-prevention, but I believe this can only be achieved for suicidally depressed people via existential-pessimism/depressive-realism (that is, I maintain a theory of suicide prevention not endorsed by CBT-dominant psychology, according to which "depression" is deemed inherently delusional--I don't think it is, not necessarily); I think genocide and abuse in general are causally
