May 02, 2022 May 2, 2022 - Alex & Dietz, (Don't!) StopHavingKids.org
Alex and Dietz are members of the antinatalist organization, StopHavingKids.org. Antinatalism is, put simply, the philosophy that having children is immoral, which is something I could not disagree with more.

The idea has always fascinated me because I could never wrap my head around why someone would think this way, so I was excited to speak with them for that challenge. I don't think any minds were changed, unfortunately, but it was a great exercise in having conversations with opposing view points - in this case, totally opposite ends of the spectrum, with very little, if any, middle ground. I appreciate them coming on and hope the best for them.

If you or a loved one are contemplating suicide, please seek help - hotlines, therapists, friends, family, anyone. Life is worth living.
