Gontlemang General-Segolodi 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


Promortalism

Nicola (nicolabelluomo) | 3 comments Hello, Gontlemang,
I am intrigued by your post. If your book is, indeed, tailored to a general audience, then I would like to read it and attempt a review. I don't have a background in philosophy, but elements of the subject interest me. The main character in my novel has a similar interest - also untrained - and in the course of the story she comes across the anti-natalist philosophers, so I have dipped into and referenced some of their works, one being Emil Cioran 'On the Heights of Despair.' My main character (given the specific circumstances in the story) is horrified by the philosophy of anti-natalism, but I myself have often seen the attraction!
Please let me know if you think my feedback would be of interest to you.
Nicola Belluomo
