Philosophy discussion

Greetings. I hope this message finds everyone well. My name is Gontlemang General-Segolodi. I have a great interest in the field of existentialism. Existentialism is the branch in philosophy that is concerned mainly on the meaning of life.

I am reaching out to ask for anyone to kindly consider reviewing my greatest work - Promortalism. The genre is non-fiction philosophy, tailored to a general audience. The main purpose of this 48 page short read, is to ask 2 basic questions: should we procreate & should we preserve already existing life? My rather unpopular answer to both of these questions is no. That is to say, I am pro-extinction.
Naturally, the entirety of the book is dedicated to presenting well reasoned arguments to prove this. I am always interested to hear any kind of feedback to my ideas. Your insights & perspective would mean a lot to me, and I believe your perspective could be helpful to potential readers.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you

o_0! Thank you for so courteously asking after our health. I believe we're all doing fairly well.

Are you in actuality, a ranking general officer in any country's military?

Rather startling philosophical stance.

But --as novel as it is -- it may be rather an abstruse intellectual exercise, no? Somewhat of a hothouse-flower? By this I mean, since mankind seems already very determinedly bent on its own destruction?

Rather like 'preaching to the choir'. No need to whip the horses, sirrah?

I'm not a general sadly. I have no idea why I was given that name. Abstruse? No, it's very easy to understand. Humanity's not disappearing anytime soon. There's still a chance to consider making a purchase.

Well 'Gontlemang' is surely a mangling of 'Gentleman', no? Similar to 'gentlehombre' in Spanish? Not sure how either of these serve as someone's birthname.

You never asked your parents why they gave this appellation to you? Even if so, why reproduce it here on Goodreads (where you choose your own username)?

You must admit that advocating extinction and 'General' (or 'Generalissimo') in one's name rather seem to go together.

I'm not raising any question as to its intellectuall difficulty. I mean to say that it's simply an idea most citizens will not be receptive to learning more about.

H'mmm. But what do you need revenue for if you're hoping for mass extinction?

With regard to myself --if time was rapidly running out --I wouldn't be thinking about books at all.
