 1  One might feel gratitude for being able to find oneself reading the following words:    
 2  "Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception."    
 3  The reason for the extinction might become apparent in these words:    
 4  "When all choice is taken from you, life becomes a game of survival."    
 5  To figure out the rules of that game of survival, one might appreciate the following realization:    
 6  "The most important factor in survival is neither intelligence nor strength but adaptability."    
 7  To which one might add:    
 8  "Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change."    
 9  This insight might lead to the temptation to desire to become immortal. One might appreciate to consider biological immortality in three types:    
10  The first one is resistance to environment which a species called Tardigrade excell at.    
11  The second one is perseverence throught time, which bacterial spores excell at, which can be revived from stasis even after millions of years.    
12  The third one is maintenance of active metabolism, which Pinus longaeva excell at.    
13  Even though their remarkable ability all of those species still have the ability to procreate.    
14  One might appreciate the privilege being naive, to procreate regardless the prospect of the offsprings.    
15  But there are many species on earth which reduces their reproductive behavior if they recognize the scarecity of resources.    
16  But so far only humans reduce their reproduction based on abstract concepts such as their projection of the future or their sense of morality, which can be referred as "antinatalism".    
17  One might call it tolerance to not disturb those who have found their peace of their own mind throught applying antinatalism to their own lives.    
18  One might then feel the desire to counteract the act of preaching antinatalism to others.
