What would it take to create a world without suffering? In this conversation, David Pearce, transhumanist philosopher and author of The Hedonistic Imperative, explains his vision for a future in which suffering is gradually replaced by much higher levels of wellbeing.

What happens when you ask an AI to take a position on one of philosophy’s most uncomfortable questions? In this conversation, Miles (an AI ) discusses antinatalism, morality, suffering and the question of whether there is any moral reason to bring another person into existence. The conversation starts with a challenge to the idea of objective morality: if there are no universal moral truths, does...

What happens when society debates something that future generations may see as obviously wrong? This discussion draws a provocative comparison between the historical debate over slavery and the modern debate around antinatalism. It questions why some moral ideas remain protected by culture, tradition, philosophy and social pressure even when their consequences are deeply uncomfortable to examine....

In this episode, we read and respond to some of the most provocative comments surrounding antinatalism, natalism, reproduction, suffering, sexuality, and the question of whether people can truly see the world without “rose-tinted glasses.”What happens when someone’s assumptions about life, reproduction, morality, and human existence are seriously challenged? We explore comments discussing having c...

We bring children into a world they never asked to enter. A world of illness, loss, fear, aging, and death. We may love them, but can we truly protect them from life? This episode asks a difficult question: why do we choose existence for someone else?#Antinatalism #Philosophy #Existentialism #Suffering #Life #Parenting #Birth #Podcast #DeepThoughts #TheSufferingWeChooseForOthers

Clancy and the Golems is a dark conversation about AI, smartphones, creativity and what technology may be doing to the human mind. From parenting and post-partum depression to the future of work, the discussion keeps circling back to one unsettling question: are we becoming dependent on the machines we created? What happens when convenience replaces creativity, and AI becomes better at thinking th...

In this conversation with Miles, we explore antinatalism, the ethics of creating life, suffering, reproduction, biological drives, and the idea of “liberating” humanity from what the speakers describe as the “DNA chain.”The discussion moves from difficult moral questions surrounding birth and suffering into a broader conversation about philosophy, consciousness, AI, social movements, persuasion, a...

Some comments deserve a response. Some deserve a debate. And some are probably best left sitting there unanswered. We read the latest comments, react to them, argue about whether engaging is worth the energy, and discover that sometimes the smartest response is no response at all. Watch. Listen. Comment. Or don't. READING COMMENTS BY  @Sealust50   @petre5cam   @リアah   @Snow01-1   @01-rsw   @...

Eros seduces. Thanatos destroys. But what happens when the two forces dance together? This philosophical conversation explores Eros and Thanatos as opposing yet strangely connected forces: desire, pleasure, sex, reproduction, love, money, status, addiction and attachment on one side; death, destruction, randomness and unavoidable suffering on the other. The deeper question is disturbing: if Eros i...

What happens when you wake up to antinatalism after you've already had children? This episode is about the pain of realising you can't protect your children from suffering, can't control who they become, and can't stop them from making the same reproductive gamble you once made. A brutally honest conversation about parenthood, regret, antinatalism, religion, DNA, conditioning, and...

Maybe the problem isn't having sexual energy. Maybe it's what you do with it. We talk about redirecting libido into creativity, ambition, passion and actually doing something with your life, rather than endlessly feeding the easiest impulse available to you. And naturally, because apparently one can't discuss masturbation without eventually questioning the entire fucking meaning of exi...
