More post-factual anti-science BS. What wild times we live in.

Isn't there some kind of oversight committee that people can complain to? Channel Four does hold a broadcasting license, after all.

    That's a well-written argument but I maintain that antinatalism is a form of antihumanism since it leads to the extinction of the human race. It is steeped in pessimism about people's capability to mitigate their own suffering.

    Declining to bet on behalf of your progeny also leaves them bereft of the chance to live a fulfilled life. I will 100% support everyone's individual decision to remain child-free but antinatalism isn't that.

    And I'd much rather support euthanasia (the literal kind, not the crime committed e.g. by the Nazis) or suicide for those who make an autonomous decision against life. But rejecting life ab initio (or rather a priori) seems like the worst position in this debate to me.

    Private Eye nails it again.

    That reminds me, I need to check for new episodes of Have I Got News For You. Ian Hislop is one of the wittiest people on television today and the banter between him and Paul Merton is always epic.

    Speak for yourself. I'm OK.

    That's the problem with this notion, isn't it? That idea that humans are no good and that we shouldn't exist. In the extreme you get movements like antinatalism that have given up all hope for humanity and take on a downright anti-human stance. I happen to think that's an unhealthy way of seeing things.

    edit: fixed by resetting everything.

    Hi, ever since I migrated my database I cannot view any comments on posts. Connect still displays the number of comments on a post but not the comments themselves. What do?

    I'm on Android 16 with a Samsung Galaxy 25, if that helps.
