1. The (very small) group that has already come to this philosophical position independently through the process of thinking about it (and thus intellectually transcending the millions of years of biologically-ingrained, bloodthirstily-urgent behavior ensuring the determination to procreate, not something that happens easily or naturally);
2. The group who believes (perhaps correctly, though proof is elusive) that physical existence is part of some sort of higher spiritual/supernatural purpose;
3. The group with no such belief, but who has deluded itself in one way or another into believing that life is worth living for its own sake;
4. The group who would say, "WHA? MAH KID'S FUCKIN' GREAT. AH'M GONNA HAVE ANOTHER TWO!" and then have a beer and go snowboarding with their bros.
You will never successfully proselytize to the latter three groups, and the first is already on the same page.

"Revolution," huh?
Good luck.
There are four types of people in the world:
