if you're never conscious you never have a subjective self.

i'm down right miserable because of good things that don't happen, because i know they could happen. some even happened before but probably never will again. other people are experiencing them.

can your framework not tell the difference between malicious deprivation, circumstantial not-happening, and the oblivion of there not being a conscious mind to begin with?

I think you're getting at the problem with anti-natalism, then. As I said before, I do think that absence of joy is bad, unlike them. I was talking in terms that were too general to get into malicious deprivation, circumstance, and complete absence, which you need to discuss if you want a framework that prescribes culpability. As I said, I'm not an ethical philosopher, just trying to describe the philosophy and the contradictions I see in it.
