Certainly yes.
No
Question, can I change my sex at birth?
Sure!
Hell yeah then!
No, your the gender you are now
So far, yes. I think being able to be physically embodied is so remarkable. And on top of that, to be able to hear and see (sort of) and think and feel? It’s not gonna last forever, so I want to feel it while I can. Absolutely yes.
Yes, but with better teeth.
Yes! I’d rather there be something than nothing. It’s a wonder that anything exists at all
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.
Just like how we don’t know what it would feel like to be dead, and we dread dying, I suppose choosing to be born would feel like death of that self that is given this choice, so I guess the question can be rephrased as “if you could die in this moment, would you choose that?”
I guess not.
If I had the choice ahead of time? No, I wouldn’t choose to be born.
If it’s a retroactive thing though, I wouldn’t undo my birth
Depends. What’s the alternative?
No alternative. You will not exist
Purgatory
What does that entail?
Fuck no.
Now? No.
If I had the choice I’d wait a century or twoYeah, it’s worth it. Plus maybe I can help.
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.
