This podcast is about moral nihilism, the idea that there is no right or wrong, which gives rise to the "might makes right" principle. As a result, we see perceived injustices or atrocities in the world e.g. child sex trafficking. Antinatalism is presented as one of the solutions to the suffering of sentient beings caused by moral nihilism. Of course, antinatalism, although it prevents future generations suffering and imposing suffering on others, doesn't address the harm caused by those already alive. As such, those who dislike suffering who are already alive should seek to minimise the harm they impose on others. This means e.g. not engaging in rape, murder and going vegan.
