Unfortunately, my Efilism Wikipedia draft was rejected twice a few days ago for "not being notable enough". https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Zero_Contradictions/Efilism&oldid=1294014923

Since then, I've been making small improvements and citing new sources in the draft as I find them. When the email correspondence between Katherine Dee and Dr. Benatar comes out, I will read and cite it accordingly. I also heard that there's a Russian academic paper out there that talks about Efilism, but I can't find it because I can't speak Russian. I believe that there will eventually be enough RSs covering Efilism to the point where the draft will be accepted.

I cited two of your books on Efilism inside the draft, but the books aren't considered RSs because they're self-published. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_sources I also need to find an antinatalist who will vouch and study or interview the 2021 antinatalism community letter in an RS. Unfortunately, the letter is not considered an acceptable source on its own because it's anonymous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Acceptable_sources

Until then, I am hosting a fork of my Wikipedia draft on my website under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license. Hopefully, it will be indexed by search engines soon. https://zerocontradictions.net/misc/efilism-wikipedia-ZC-fork-2025-june.pdf

Expanding Rationality needs have a non preview book on Amazon he pays some Indian publisher to publish for low and that he updates for any claim he ever made anywhere, reliable citations bootstrapping lol.

Nobody could explain efilism more clearly than you. Thank you!

Very good summary. I'm not an efilist or a vegan, but I am an anti-natalist who used to be a white nationalist. You should read my essay An Indictment of Life.

I'm surprised to read this. What changed your mind on white nationalism?

I'm still a tacit supporter, but I obviously cannot endorse the natalism inherent to that movement. I am not a life-affirming individual.

Will read. I instinctively disagree so I'm curious about your thoughts.
