Do you have a number or a fuzzy range for the amount of bliss that would be insufficient for you to endure that experience?

Sure, but you're going to have to describe bliss since it's such a fuzzy term. As a cut to the chase, I'd argue that you would get a mostly positive answer if you could ask the whole of humanity (just after death) if their life was preferable to not living at all—even if they suffered so much as to "out-weigh" the bliss they experienced.

Re: AntiNatalism & a guy called Gary.

These two videos http://www.youtube.com/user/fulfilledobligations/videos

against this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVyJQFHlSFs

actually, the latter is probably best watched first - other guy is more entertaining though!

The Inmendham fellow has a whole cult-ish thing going now, called 'Efilism' (life spelled backwards).

Google for more...

They've been discussing this red button (destroy the world to end suffering) thing for a while on youtube now.

Back to Aliens though - because it's hard to ignore.

I think he says some fairly intelligent stuff, among the rhetoric. Watch out for the 1min mark for lol's, if you're into schadenfreude that is!
