Why "reproduce"? Don't produce the next generation of slaves. On balance, life is misery. Leave the unborn in peace.

Biologically speaking we are wired to produce kids, as such many people find deep meaning and satisfaction by raising a family. Of course this isn't for everyone, but I put it down as a driver for why people behave they way they do.

On balance, life is neutral.

On balance, life is what we all force it to be by our collective efforts. We should make it wonderful.
