    No. Not even remotely. Not even if I was assured it was a simulation. No.

    Warning: ITT, lots of nonresponse bias.

    Life dissatisfaction guides people to type no;
    neutrally satisfied folks will skip;
    the relatively contented might type a “yes” or be offline.
    With today’s historical context, there’s a bit of a skew, especially for those hanging out online o( ; ´ ﹏ `;)o

    As for me, I’m excepted. I have decent dissatisfaction rather often, but arrogantly – I’d be born a million times, every time (unless you ask me at a bad moment).

    Even at my worst, why do I not roll over and die? “I want to see how my story ends.”

      No is not such a pleasant decision in this question, in order to answer this way you need to really feel or witness really bad things. Therefore, a large number of such answers says something…

    No. And thats the reason i don’t have kids.

    Humanity is rotten, and personally i don’t think we’ll ever change. The best thing that can happen to earth is for humanity to collapse and become extinct.

    I’m echoing a lot of the replies here by saying “No.” Even if I’m given a choice as to what kind of life I’d live, still no.

    Even if people say there’s a lot of good things in life, or that there are people living their dreams in this world, still no. I don’t play the lottery, even if I might end up with more money than I could ever hope to spend. The same logic applies here.

    There would be no me to regret not existing if I don’t exist.

    Even if my life currently is not bad, there are and have been bad times. Not existing is never bad. So no.

    Others have already answered this well, but I’ll repeat it anyway: No.

    Yes. Everything is pointless and nothing is forever. Might as well enjoy the life we’ve got. Non-existence is better for some people, but I think on the whole life is worth living for most people.

    Yes. If I’m actually some kind of cosmic being that can choose to be born yes, I am taking that pill. I’m taking all the experience pills.
