You're saying suicidal ideation is "the natural state"?

[ionised]

I think he's saying non-existence is the natural state and the decision to live and expend energy gathering resources just to survive needs to be justified, rather than be expected to justify your wish to stop existing.

I think the counter to that is the idea that human life is inherently valuable and doesn't need to be justified.
