Being OK is worth taking seriously, and it does not settle the question. The antinatalist claim is not that everyone is miserable. It is that a life can go badly in ways the person who is created had no chance to decline, and that being all right yourself is not evidence about which risk another person drew. Nor is the position anti-human. It comes from the opposite direction: the concern is for the being who would have to navigate a world that is not reliably kind, and it is expressed by declining to put someone there, not by despising the ones already here. A view that had given up on humanity would want it gone. This one wants the suffering already present addressed, and asks that no more be added as collateral to a bet nobody agreed to.
