Existence is Pain - Better never to have been

AUG 1, 202141 MIN

Description

<p>Today's episode is all about existence and pain (suffering). &nbsp;Philosophers like David Benatar have argued that coming into existence &nbsp;is always going to be a harm. Life is filled with pleasures, but the &nbsp;pains are always going to be much worse. If this is the case, are we &nbsp;always doing something morally wrong when we bring new people into the &nbsp;world? Can we logically say that we are harming people by creating them &nbsp;or harming future possible people that could be created? David and I try &nbsp;to tackle these problems while still holding on to our sanity.</p>
