I wish I could find the particular video where he addresses AN but he's got too many uploaded to find that needle in a haystack. He's also got a daughter and I don't see him becoming a Jim Crawford anytime soon. He is worth listening to though whether you agree with him entirely or not.<br /><br />I found yours and Matt Forney's corner of the Internet after several years of increasing disillusionment with the atheist/skeptic "movement". I watched as this so called movement was hijacked by the usual people: tiresome PC thought police and obnoxious feminists who wanted to make it all about them and their vaginas.<br /><br />It's nice to take in the fresh air around here too.

...Re: Forney: Cool! That was a fun interview to do.<br /><br />Re: Molyneux: I haven't heard his AN straw man, but that's slightly disappointing... you would think his nonviolent arguments would extend to the ultimate harm. Nonetheless, I think I'll continue to enjoy him as an optimist who is NOT a dithering ball of delusions... kind of a breath of fresh air for me. And indeed, there are plenty of ways in which he gives me a new perspective, even if I think he's wrong there. Can't agree with EVERYthing somebody says...

However, I vaguely remember him addressing anti-natalism on one of his shows and, from what I remember of it, he seemed to create a strawman of the AN argument. Also, Molyneux is too much of an optimist, in his own way, to embrace such an idea. <br /><br />BTW, I became familiar with you via your interview with Forney. J.
