Antinatalism is Based on FAITH – DEBATE | Wolf McNally VS Lawrence Anton

Описание: Wolf McNally recently invited me on his podcast to discuss the ethics of procreation. We spoke about a range of things including whether antinatalism is faith-based.

Thank you to Wolf for allowing me to re-upload this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Note~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the video I feel I did not succinctly articulate the point about unsatisfied desires in life. I have left a quote by David Benatar below that encapsulates the point I was trying to make:

“When it comes to the satisfaction of desires, things are also stacked against us. Many desires are never satisfied. And even when they are satisfied, it is often after a long period of dissatisfaction. Nor does satisfaction last, for the satisfaction of a desire leads to a new desire — which itself needs to be satisfied some time in the future. When one can fulfil one’s more basic desires, such as hunger, on a regular basis, higher-level desires arise. There is a treadmill and an escalator of desire.

In other words, life is a state of continual striving. We have to expend effort to ward off unpleasantness — for example, to prevent pain, assuage thirst, and minimise frustration. In the absence of our strivings, the unpleasantness comes all too easily, for that is the default.”
