This is so sad. These people are broken inside.

Adopt orphans is SELFLESS, OTHERWISE SELFISH.

I brought this point up in great detail on reddit in the antinatalist section. I honestly wonder if that guy seen my reddit post and decided to write an article about it 🤔 lol.

th-cam.com/video/RLc79MoHFho/w-d-xo.htmlsi=18c2QQFOew9pJ7cb I have put out a challenge for antinatalists.

Rubbish!

Excellent ! 🦊

Brilliant as always. I too hold that definition, but no confidence that it will be used

👋

Great work! Thanks.

Dear Hindi me bhi bnao India most populated😢

Wonderful🎉❤❤🎉

0:43 "He seems to be having way more fun than a pessimist is allowed to have." That made me laugh :)

Another brilliant episode, congratulations! 🎯 In this one, my favorite moment was when Amanda's question to Todd is answered by a horn band playing a happy tune. Much the response that can be expected from the pro/natalist camp. 😅

I sometimes think that anti-natalism is a response to the understanding that all species will go extinct eventually. The specific anti-natalist response to this is what I have started calling 'elegant extinction' as opposed to simply letting nature run its course regarding human extinction. In other words the question isn't whether or not humans will go extinct; at some point that will happen. The question is how human beings will go extinct. Anti-natalism proposes taking the fate of humanity in a particular direction, that of a conscious choice in favor of extinction, which I call 'elegant extinction.' This is just a recent speculation I've been thinking about; it seems relevant to some of what was posted today. As always, thanks for your informative video.

Loved the little video on Nimrod’s tour 😂

Incredible episode as always Tejas! Thank you so much for so generously covering the panel, and I'm sorry that it seems my comment from a few days ago didn't survive the YT meat grinder! You truly do some of the finest, most important work in all of AN, Tejas! I know better than most, just how much work goes into these news updates, and I am in awe of your efforts every week that goes by, truly! 🤩🤩🤩🚀

You are amazing Tejas :)

No matter how big of a liberal you become, you will never ever gain immortality. If you have such a material kind of world view why dont you spread the hell out of your genes - evolution sarr!! food, sex best sarr!! ... Maximising pleasure over responsibilities, what a sad kind of philosophy :(

7:48 "If you hold a view that antinatalism is actually a recognition that coming into sentient existence causes harm to the one who is coming into existence" you have the burden of demonstrating how you differentiate that view from philosophical pessimism. If you can't differentiate that view from philosophical pessimism, you're violating the three laws of logic. If you're violating the laws of logic, then you have to either concede you're in error or explain why you're exempt from those laws. Jordan Peterson holds the same view (7m12s & 21m33s in his debate with David Benatar). So, Peterson is an antinatalist according to Tejas and anyone who maintains that AN = "a recognition that coming into sentient existence causes harm to the one who is coming into existence".

7:52 "a recognition that coming into sentient existence causes harm to the one who is coming into existence" - how is this different from philosophical pessimism?

I have never heard any plausible argument claiming animals have moral agency, regardless of the level of intelligence they may have. How any reasonable person only think animals are exempt from moral consideration, its unethical. Why consider it only for humans when it is clear the animals are suffering. Happy independence day!🎉

Another brilliant episode, congratulations! 💥🎯🎉 My personal favorite, of course, was my face taking over the Benatarian desert with the caption "Better Never to Have Been". 😄

All of the people mentioned in the video do ironically still support the suffering of procreated beings.

Aaap log achha kaaam krre h Baki sab ... 🤯

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Thank you for your valuable work! That star-studded panel looks great! 🙂

thanks as always for keeping us up to date, much appreciated 👍

Another excellent episode, looking forward to the panel!

Agree with this assessment. As antinatalism fundamentally comes from a very different point of motivation as environmentalism, all overlap(s) should be considered coincidental and not essential to antinatal arguments, therefore it is unfair to link the two too closely together.

These “alpha males” are literally jealous of women loving cats lol

Most of the people who are worried about low birth rates are the ones who depend on consumers/followers/slaves for their own benefit/business.

looking forward to the documentary.

It's always a treat to listen to your videos. It is a window on AN world wide. // It struck that the criticism of Benetar's work, as outlined in your video, would lead back to traditional Buddhism's understanding of the place of suffering in the cosmos. In both instances suffering is seen as pervasive whereas pleasure is seen as transient. Buddhism goes one step further, I think, in that Buddhism argues that even moments of pleasure are also moments of suffering due to impermanence and the awareness, often subconscious, that the pleasure will pass (usually very quickly). This awareness of impermanence is a type of suffering that, I think, rises to the level of a metaphysical insight; I mean that the instability of existence is part of the nature of the material world. // Thanks for all the time you put into these presentations; I have found them very helpful.

Peterson 🤯🤯🤯🤧

❤♥❤

👋

Very cool to hear about the documentary!

At least eastern philosophy -religion's , such as Buddhism , are rooted in the understanding that life in the world is full of suffering. I was repelled at a young age to the christian idea that life is a gift from god !

Happy to see another episode! ❤

From our perspective, it makes sense that the sanctifier of selfishness, Ayn Rand, would champion life as a whole. But I wonder how conservatives, most of which are Rand fans, are making sense of this combination? If they’re calling childless people selfish, but support that same selfishness on the economic market - is selfishness a problem now, or isn’t it? Of course, in practice, both the left and right are inconsistent when it comes to “market liberty”: Conservatives want to deregulate the economic market and regulate the sexual market; progressives want to regulate the economic market and deregulate the sexual market. Only libertarians might be fine with deregulating both. With regards to Peterson and Musk, I don’t think Peterson is Rand’s biggest fan - Musk however is “acting out” a belief in Rand’s ideas, as Jordan would put it; whether Musk calls himself a fan of hers or not.

It's totally understandable if you can't continue to make videos. You already contributed so much to antinatalism. Take care!

Hope your situation improves and thank you for all the work that you do!

Cabrera confuses interest with preference. One can have an interest in not coming into existence while having a (counterfactual) preference for coming into existence. A junkie may want (prefer) to take another hit even though it is not in his interest. So coming into existence is in nobody’s interest (per Benatar) even though some people might have a (perverse) preference for coming into existence.

J. Peterson, who is a Nietzsche admirer and tough type guy who says you must do what you must do and "nice guys" are basically losers. Scares us of cunning Machiavelli antinatalists. And J. Peterson, with his semi-Jungian theory, missed a point. Mary is a virgin and is praised as a virgin, at least in the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church does like the idea that she had other children. And Jesus is a pre-existing being. Wasn't born, but always existed.
