AAP Ep. 10 - Criticisms of Antinatalist Advocacy with Lenny and @WackyConundrum The Antinatalist Advocacy Podcast

    • Philosophy

Welcome to episode 10 of AAP! We were joined by Lenny and Conundrum for a 'criticisms panel' of Antinatalist Advocacy, where we handed over the reigns to our two guests to tear apart our work on AA so far. Should AA drop the word 'antinatalist' from its name? Which of our four cause areas are actually relevant for antinatalism? And why did we have such a bungled definition of antinatalism on our website? Let us know your thoughts below! TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro to the episode01:42 Intro to the panel06:51 AA's definition of antinatalism10:12 How do you 'do' antinatalist advocacy?14:30 What is AA's end goal?18:27 The 'antinatalist blindspot'29:08 The empty criticisms page on the website33:38 Doing 'the most good'41:00 AA's emphasis on compassion53:01 "Antinatalist should do x,y,z…"56:50 A positive rebranding of antinatalism?1:06:27 The role of AA as an organisation1:11:40 AA's broad focus (i.e. the four cause areas, including wild animal suffering)1:27:50 Lawrence's comments on the ecological niche replacement argument1:40:08 What makes AA different from other existing organisations1:48:56 Potential associations to avoid1:56:54 Potential name changes2:10:09 John's comments on sperm donation2:16:09 Final comments2:18:02 Outro ANTINATALIST ADVOCACYNewsletter: https://antinatalistadvocacy.org/newsletterWebsite: https://antinatalistadvocacy.org/YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@AntinatalistAdvocacyTwitter / X: https://twitter.com/AN_advocacyInstagram: https://instagram.com/an_advocacy Check out the links below!Conundrum's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WackyConundrumVoidcast Linktree: https://linktr.ee/veganvoidcastÉmile P.
