I like people! I think life is inherently good, and more people alive to enjoy the world is something we should be aiming for.

  I dislike being around people. More people means more competition for the good stuff like space, a nice view, quiet, delicious fish/game, etc. You might argue that more people produce more other good stuff, but that is a flawed argument for a few reasons. For starters, a lot of scarcity in our economy is fake and introduced to maximize profit. Second, there's only so much valuable work to be done, but everyone has to have a job, so somewhere between 50-80% of people end up doing meaningless work (think of all the people involved in making/marketing a lot of infomercial garbage and lame tchotchkes like dog bowls shaped like toilets that flush when the dog eats). Nobody would miss those things if they'd never existed, and I'm sure none of the people responsible wanted to do that sort of thing growing up. It's basically a big capitalist circle jerk.

    I am an introvert, I don't always like being around people. But I am glad that those people got a chance to exist and experience life, and am willing to accept inconvenience for that.

      But if they didn't exist then it would not have mattered? We are just space dust, until we are born we have no conscience, those who not exist cannot miss anything.
