*“If children were brought into the world by an act of pure reason alone, would the human race continue to exist?"* Arthur Schopenhauer. Antinatalism asks an uncomfortable question: **Is it morally justified to bring a new person into existence?** In a world marked by suffering, uncertainty, inequality, and social fragility, some philosophers argue that *not being born* may be better than being born at all. This session explores antinatalism, through thinkers like Schopenhauer, and David Benatar. But this is no longer a purely philosophical question. Today, birth rates are collapsing across much of the world. States intervene through incentives, restrictions, and population engineering. Technology separates sex from pregnancy and reproduction from the human body itself. This session explores birth and antinatalism **at the intersection of philosophy, demography, politics, and technology**. **Introduction (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the guests. **Questions to discuss: (1 hour and 45 minutes):** 1. Would you want to be born again? 2. Can it ever be ethical to impose life on someone **without their consent**? 3. Can we meaningfully say someone is “better or worse off” for never existing? 4. How much suffering is it enough to make life not worth starting? 5. Is it worse to risk suffering, or to deny existence entirely? 6. Does society pressure people into reproduction for economic or cultural survival? 7. If antinatalism is right, what follows? Adoption? Voluntary extinction? 8. Can creating a new life be a morally neutral act, or is it better continuing one that already exists? 9. Is having children an act of hope or an act of denial? 10. Can a society that stops reproducing still be a political community — or only an administrative one? is antinatalism politically destabilizing by definition? (Movie: The children of men, Hannah Arendt) 11. Would politics freeze without generational replacement? 12. Would immortality eliminate progress — or stabilize it? 13. Would immortal societies become conservative by default? 14. Is the “right to have a child” absolute—or should it be conditional? If adoption requires screening, why doesn’t biological parenthood? 15. What are the consequences if artificial wombs become viable? 16. What happens when reproduction becomes a technical process rather than a human one? (Recommended documentary: "The Man with 1000 Kids" on Netflix) 17. Was the One-Child Policy an ethical catastrophe — or a brutal but rational response to material limits? If overpopulation causes massive suffering, is coercive birth control ever morally defensible? 18. If parents screen embryos for severe diseases, is that eugenics — or responsibility? 19. Why is state-driven selection immoral, but market-driven selection acceptable? 20. Is the traditional nuclear family the only morally acceptable way to raise a child?

*All the presentations are in Hungarian. Thanks for your understanding!* Miért rákkeltő az alkoholfogyasztás? És mi az univerzum két legnagyobb rejtélye? A márciusi Budapest Science Meetupon kiderül. **Az alkohol rákkeltő hatásának nyomában** *Szüts Dávid – HUN-REN TTK, Molekuláris Élettudományi Intézet, Genom Stabilitás Kutatócsoport* Az alkoholfogyasztás ismerten rákkeltő, de vajon miért? Kutatócsoportunk az etanol fő bomlástermékének, az acetaldehidnek a mutagenikus hatását vizsgálta sejttenyészetekben. Az általunk talált hatás enyhe, de egyértelmű: DNS-törésekre utaló genomi átrendeződéseket találtuk sejtvonalakon végzett kísérletekben, és ugyanilyen mutációk alkoholfogyasztással való asszociációját gyomorrák esetekben. Az eredmények alapján az acetaldehid DNS-töréseket előidézve okozhat olyan változásokat a testi sejtek génállományában, amelyek hozzájárulnak a tumorok kialakulásához. **Az univerzum két nagy rejtélye: a sötét energia és a Hubble-feszültség** *Raffai Péter – ELTE TTK Atomfizikai Tanszék* A fizikai kozmológia alapvetése, hogy a világegyetem nagy léptékben homogén. Einstein általános relativitáselmélete szerint egy ilyen univerzum tágul, vagyis a kozmikus távolságok -például a galaxisok között- mindenütt azonos ütemben nőnek. A növekedés mai üteme, a Hubble-állandó, a tágulástörténet kulcsparamétere - az univerzum korát is ő árulja el. A legkülönfélébb megfigyelésekhez a Lambda-CDM kozmológiai modell illeszkedik leginkább; eszerint a tágulás mintegy 5 milliárd éve lassulóból gyorsulóba váltott át, egy ismeretlen összetevő, a sötét energia hatására. A sötét energia mellett a kozmológia legégetőbb kihívásává a "Hubble-feszültség" vált: a Hubble-állandó különböző mérési módszerekkel kétféle értékűnek adódik. Vajon ez csak mérési hiba? Vagy forradalom előjele a kozmológiában? És lehet a két nagy rejtélynek közös feloldása?

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
