Anti-natalism is the ethical view that the act of having children is morally reprehensible, largely because of the consent issue: nobody who's born is capable of consenting to being born. On this episode, we discuss the ethical issues around procreation.

On this episode, we talk about the ideas behind Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
My goal here is to give a balanced overview of the ideology (or the philosophy) at work behind Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency protocols.

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss survival stories and the philosophy of mountains and mountaineering. I talk about a few close calls I've had while out in the mountains, and then we ask what draws humans to these mountains in the first place.

On this episode, we're starting with Confucian ideals of Virtue and governance by wu-wei (effortless action). Then we jump straight into the politics of modern China, how Confucian principles are being mi-used, and contemplate the future.
