Thanks! I can see that for people who accept (relatively strong versions of) the asymmetry. But (I think) we’re talking about what a wide range of ethical views say—is it at all common for proponents of objective list theories of well-being to hold that the good life is worse than nonexistence? (I imagine, if they thought it was that bad, they wouldn’t call it “the good life”?)
is it at all common for proponents of objective list theories of well-being to hold that the good life is worse than nonexistence?
I think this would be pretty much only antinatalists who hold stronger forms of the asymmetry, and this kind of antinatalism (and indeed all antinatalism) is relatively rare, so I’d guess not.
