You mentioned “vegan advocacy” it doesn’t seem to me effective in principle I think it’s not worth debating and it doesn’t change anything.
Besides, I’m not sure how real animal suffering is compared to human suffering, due to the fact that consciousness plays a big role in the experience of suffering. I’m guessing that animals do suffer, so I’d love to hear about specific ways to act so that they are not born, but I’d still like to hear about an alternative that focuses on the problem of human existence.
Regarding “the problem of human existence”, it sounds like you’d get along with the people at the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. I have no reason to think that organization is particularly effective at achieving its goal, but they might be able to point you in the right direction. There’s also Population Connection, which I don’t believe shares the same end goal but may (or may not) be taking more effective steps in the same direction.
I agree with you. Anyway, with that in mind, what charities would you recommend for me to support specifically?
