Emmet francis: Is there some moral obligation to either have or not have children? He says neither he nor his wife wanted kids because they had other things to do. There are a lot of benefits to having kids and a lot of downside, but everyone should make their own decision on the matter individually,. Emmet also asks if consciousness is related to how we act in the world.

Welcome to the August 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic.
