Episode notes

While the anti-natalist philosophy is often considered to be against sentient human life, recognition of the misfortune of having been born does not relegate you to dowerness, suffering, complaining, or misery. A cheerful person that says it sucks that all of us have been born and we can't let any, we should try or not. Pursuit pleasure for yourself and others and avoid contributing to suffering.

Poor and black defendants have more legal rights than ever, but that didn't stop mass incarceration. Why is that? We talk about a paper by Paul Butler called "Poor People Lose: Gideon and the Critique of Rights." Plus, we answer the question that’s on everyone’s mind: how to live as an anti-natalist. And Tamler is appalled to discover David's anti-natalist leanings.
