antinatalism is the ultimate position.
i'd have to give more than a passing thought to 3DPD to take that stance, OP.
Schopenhauer just claimed sexual urges are harmful since they contribute to our perception of the world as will. He never said anything about eliminating human reprodution, stop being such an edgy faggot.

Stop calling anything you don't like "edgy."
>hurr everyone should live a life of asceticism
>lives a life of luxury and fucks many bitches
Schopenhauer cucks are the worst, people ignore how shit his philosophy was just because he said a few mean things about women

You're incorrect, Schopenhauer believed that reproduction would cease if the intellect directed us rather than the will. Here's a quote:
"If children were brought into the world by an act of pure reason alone, would the human race continue to exist? Would not a man rather have so much sympathy with the coming generation as to spare it the burden of existence, or at any rate not take it upon himself to impose that burden upon it in cold blood?"

>Believed
Although "belief" is the most correct way to speak of it, the man was ultimately right. I feel immense sympathy for a possible child's experience in this world, I will not bring a child to this world, the human condition is not desirable. To never have existed is the best way to "be".

Antinatalism is ridiculous highschooler-tier philosophy, since it essentially appeals to hedonism, trying to resolve the issue of people wanting to kill themselves with an ideal of civic duty, except that this duty is fucking retarded.
At least the stoics had a decent idea of civic duty that makes sense.
Whereas here it's just "lol tell people to not have kids"

Ive been wanting to read up on antinatalist philosophy lately: Schopenhauer, Cioran, Zappfe. I dont have a very strong philosophical background though. Are there alot of necessary prereqs for understanding these thinkers?

Start with the Greeks and make your way to the modern times.
lol it's all population control desu. not original, interesting, or virtuous at all. it's old as time in memorial. gnostics: yo god made a mistake when he created the world. you are shit. you'll never reach enlightenment imprisoned by matter. how about killing yourself? take that principle and run with it any way you like.
