    if you take anti natalism to its real logical extreme, then you have to actually want the human race to prosper enough to build a giant sun death laser that eradicates all life in the galaxy periodically on auto pilot and then kill your entire species

      That’s actually a really good question because there’s no way, even with 100% of the sun’s mass going into the effort, that we could actually zap everything in the galaxy to death. We’d have to instead have a signal so depressing that, as soon as a species decodes it, they’d be guaranteed to start sending out a similar signal and destroy all life within zapping range.
