Anti-Natalism is intellectual in that it transcends the animalistic
and mechanistic chain of birth, going beyond the genetic code of
"leave offspring behind!" Blindly following genetic code may be natural
in terms of animal behavior, but it is insufficient for Homo sapiens.

Natalism emphasizes instinct, making it right-wing, while anti-natalism
is left-wing. The former often appeals to hate and violence, while the
latter tends to appeal to reason and intellect.

By choosing "non-birth," one can completely control and prevent the
imaginary child's unhappiness in this world. Thus, even if the state of
"non-existence" does not exist and there are always special cases where
some form of life or consciousness is assigned, preventing the suffering
and unhappiness of one's child as a human being is entirely possible
through non-birth.

Therefore, anti-natalism remains effective against unhappiness and harm.
Additionally,David Benatar sees the state of non-existence as desirable
not only for humans but for all living beings that have a sense of self.

In other words, the ideal of anti-natalism is a state in which all
subjects who experience suffering and harm no longer exist.
