OMG I fucking looove the humanities!!! This small clique of Jewish intellectuals sometimes express common sense opinions along with nonsense, but in a highly obfuscated form so it takes ages to tease the two apart! Don't you think they deserve to rule us?

the payoff of being born is that you exist
the payoff of not being born is that you have achieved enlightenment and you stop existing

Which are the result of philosophy.
Science is the most powerful tool we have, but it isn't perfect, and it can't tell us everything. Neither can math. Neither can academic philosophy.

Not a scientific question. It's a useful and valuable question, but it's metaphysical, not scientific.

If you exist you may experience joy, but also suffering. If you don't exist you won't feel suffering, nor will you feel joy.

if you barely have joy or suffering while biologically alive, you started being non-existant or started fading away ?

This is not a 'scientific speaking' type question, this is a 'what is the evolutionary advantage' type question. Delete this thread and make another one asking it in the correct way please.

Not being born: 0

Expected value: unknown

The very notion of evidence is subjective and depends on correlations which may or may not be true. The state of which something is evident is not always consistent.

Epistemological Anarchism is the most sceptical and scientific stance. Dont worship your datasets to fuel an agenda.

No. That's just it. It's not an empirical question. You can't run tests on the unborn. Only a fool would say otherwise.

Not being born: Never having to suffer, eternal nothingness, never having to know of what is.
Being born: Experience the unexplainable, cope with going back to the void.
