This is one of the rare times that I very much disagree with Sam Harris.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on the subject?

Given it's nearly 2 hours I will have to find some proper time to listen. I suspect though that from previous sights of Harris and Benatar on the issue I will probably disagree as well. There is a question about population size just don't think that anti natalism is usually subtle enough to deal with it.


ETA: David, given that the link is to 2 hrs of discussion and given that might be a bit of a commitment for most on here, Is it possible to give a summary as you see it of what you disagree with?

Also if you are reading. Keith Maitland, I think this is right up your axis of interest?

I'll have a go a bit later with this one, Sam H, yes I classify him as one of those people that could convince anyone that bought a tin of white paint that you had got it wrong, it was in fact black paint and you would have some considerable difficulty stopping yourself going back to the shop with it.

I find it difficult to disagree with him too, I'm not 100% with him on meditation nor do I have any definitive answers on the subject.
