Episode 3 - Antinatalism with Minesh Fernando 1:43:25

Is existence suffering? Were you wronged by being born? Is it moral to have kids? Freddie Mercury may have sometimes wished to have never been born at all, but what about the rest of us? Antinatalism is a philosophy which states that the rest of us should probably feel the same way Freddie did. The question of whether human life is worth living and the nature of human suffering has been a long-standing one, both in philosophy as well as in major religions. It tells us just why our lives suck so much, and why it may have been a bad idea for your parents to conceive you. ------ On this episode we talk to Minesh Fernando, a philosophy enthusiast and political analyst, about perspectives on suffering (both religious and non-religious), the rise in discussion around antinatalism and some popular objections to it. We also discuss implications an antinatalist worldview may have for religion, justice, human rights and even artificial intelligence. On top of all this, we try to discuss the future of antinatalism and how, even if it doesnt catch on, what it has to tell us about our lives, our relationships to each other, and the question of having children. ------ Follow Minesh on Instagram: @mineshhhhh Follow the show (and me!) on Instagram: @papadamphilosophy / @the_antisocial_extrovert_…

What is the meaning of life? Existentialist thinkers tell us that there isn't one- you need to make one for yourself. Existentialism is a philosophical movement that concerns itself with the meaning of existence, and how we can find an essence, even though 'Existence Precedes Essence.' ------ On this episode we talk to Wimarshana Wijesuriya, an author, thinker, poet and philosopher, about the history of existentialism, different existential thinkers, and how we can apply existential thinking to our day-to-day lives. We also talk about a crisis of meaning in modern day Sri Lanka, and what existentialism can tell us about the Sri Lankan political atmosphere. ------ Follow the show (and me!) on Instagram: @papadamphilosophy / @the_antisocial_extrovert_ ----- Links to content covered in this episode; -Wimarshaná, 'Citizens' Guide to the Third World' - https://www.docdroid.net/WioUjfl/citizens-guide-to-the-third-world-by-wimarshana-pdf -Sam Kriss, 'Village Atheists, Village Idiots' - https://thebaffler.com/salvos/degrasse-tyson-kriss-atheists…
