Description
The Exploring Antinatalism Podcast is the world's first podcast dedicated to the subject of Antinatalism, created by Antinatalists! Antinatalism, (Or Anti-Natalism.) Is defined by Wikipedia as, “A philosophical position and social movement that assigns a negative value to birth.” The world of Antinatalism is very vast, and though most Antinatalists do share a kernel of the same core idea, what one Antinatalist believes from the next can be wildly different. What The Exploring Antinatalism Podcast seeks to showcase, is a wide range of the various perspectives and ideas throughout Antinatalism as it exists today, through interviews with Antinatalist thinkers and creators of all kinds. Exploring Antinatalism was originally founded in early 2020 by various members of the now extinct, Rogue Philosophy: Antinatalism Discord, but soon grew away from being a team effort, to a mostly solo project run and hosted by long time Antinatalist content producer, Amanda ‘Oldphan’ Sukenick. (Foreverwolffilms on YouTube.), with the exception of sometimes host/co-host, Mark J. Maharaj (Question Mark? on YouTube). Thank you for listening to Exploring Antinatalism!

what was the movie name he mentioned?
you're vegan and antainatalist? I don't know what to say. Just the people being both of them are so rare and I'm proud of you for thinking and living in a different way 💘
Lost interest after only hearing about back stories
Wow I’m always surprised by the hosts patience when one of the emotional arguers gets on. Amanda is right about nature being a hell hole that is dictated by destructive dominance. Humans are the very product of it, not it’s worst and only perpetrators! This is a world of matter and you must destroy another beings mass to feed your molecular greed. Intellectual honesty is not the strong point of any feminist I’ve ever given the time.
