Rare Earth

HUGE NEWS!

Just before the pandemic I signed some paperwork that fundamentally changed this channel. For the better, I hope, but who knows, it’s life, right?

Back in April, or March maybe, god this summer has breezed by... back whenever that was I signed up with an organization called Nebula. You might have already heard of them, I’m certainly not the first person they’ve signed. I really, really like what they're trying to do. It almost feels like they’re a YouTubers union masquerading as a video app. A coop for quality edutainment that has no chance of going viral. Content that YouTube can’t sustain or truly care about.

So I signed on with them. I know, I realize I’m not the type. But even with all my hangups about sponsorship and advertising, this felt right to me. The only ad I really have to do is to let you know about the platforms that I'm on. Not a huge deal for me. I can live with that. Hope you can too.

To be clear: I’m not going to stop doing anything here. I might slow down a bit, but that's just because I'm tired of the grind. Rare Earth remains as ever. It’s just that I’m going to start doing things there, too. Bigger things.

So... that’s the plan. It costs 15 bucks a *year* to be a member and you get a subscription to CuriosityStream as part of the bundle (which is a genuinely supportable platform where my father has already done documentaries). The Nebula app isn’t anything to write home about yet, but that’s part of being on ground floor. I didn’t sign on with them because it was already the next Instagram. I did it because it is growing, and at this size my (and your) voice can make it better. I signed on because I believe in what they're doing. I genuinely support this project, and for me that's rare earth indeed. 

Long-term patrons who can’t handle another fee please DM me and I’ll pay for your membership myself. I don't want anyone here left out in the cold, and I'm going to do my best to make sure that you're all able to take part.

If that sounds interesting to you, sign up here: http://curiositystream.com/rareearth

If not? Hope you enjoy the show regardless. See you next episode, everyone.{{SUBSTRING}}

(A book with the answer)

 What's up guys, Michael here to talk about people,

And specifically, is it good to have them?

Because increasingly, people are starting to think,

or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are starting to argue

Of course, for folks who've always dreamed

of birthing a little tyke or two or a baker's dozen,

contemplating the idea of not bringing life

a positive way to pass down your superb head of hair

Or is there something irresponsible about bringing life

into this slowly sinking Titanic of a planet?

Let's find out in this Wisecrack Edition:

So, how has procreation historically been regarded?

that having children, if you can, is a good thing.

In the Bible, God tells a bunch of people,

And obviously, some people do still take this imperative

or just rent Cheaper by the Dozen 1 and 2.

was little more than an unwelcome side effect

i.e. doing sex could result in offspring,

via kids that will grow up and be just as miserable as you.

It's like your middle school health teacher told you,

Meanwhile, in his book, The Birth of Tragedy,

Nietzsche paraphrases the Ancient Greek wisdom of Silenus,

and next to that, it is better to die than to live.

To be clear, we do not endorse this message

Philosophers call this view, that it is bad to be born

The most prominent contemporary proponent of antinatalism

is the South African philosopher David Benatar.

We talked about him in our video on Attack on Titan,

he argues that it would still be morally wrong

even if the world wasn't a greenhouse filled with farts.

See, Benatar thinks that there is an asymmetry

We all know it feels good to experience pleasure

and bad to experience pain, but Benatar argues,

if you are conscious that you are being deprived

that this 24-karat gold ice cream existed,

that you will likely never have the pleasure

even if we're not conscious of that lack of pain at all.

We don't have to be thinking about how it might feel

to be enjoying the state of non-cactus sitting.

Thus, the asymmetry between pain and pleasure.

gives them the ability to feel pleasure and pain.

Test your pronunciation!
