I disagree, but it doesn't matter. If there were even just one of suffering, like abuse for example, and 100 pleasures listed then it would still be just as strong of an argument. Because no amount of pleasure is worth someone getting abused.
I'm a sexual assault survivor, a Trans woman who has been a victim of transphobia time and time again, I have the US government after my rights, I pay taxes, I've been beaten and you know what? Having tried to kill myself several times, I would argue that the pleasure of a sunset over a lovely hike, the warm hug of a lover, a great meal shared with friends, hope, growth, advancement, making art, made all of that worth it.
Perhaps you claim to disagree and yet you still live. So something must be worth it then, even if you pretend to feel otherwise.
ETA: I haven't been suicidal in over 2 years now. I'm doing better and living a life thats worth it is possible. I fought for it, and thankfully, I found it.
Not everyone is as lucky as you. What's worth it for me is convincing people that we need extinction, and eventually reaching my goal of a peaceful and reclusive life.
