ELI5: What's the difference between nihilism, misanthropy and antinatalism?
gpt
Well they're 3 completely different things.

Nihilism is the acceptance that life is without greater meaning or purpose. It's not a negative philosophy but rather the appreciation that nothing you do "matters", but that that's only because nothing at all "matters" and so there's no obligation for anyone to do anything aside from that which they choose in the moment.

Misanthropy is a negative philosophy that views humans as a net negative on the universe and advocates humans as a villain in a greater story. It supports the notion that humans have innately "bad" qualities and that even our attempts to overcome those qualities are guided by selfish intent.

Antinatalism is simply the view that having children is ethically pauce  for one reason or another; it can stem from misanthropy or it can relate to current economic, political or physical climates. It's just the notion that bringing a child into this world is a bad thing, whether for the world or for the child.
