I discuss his arguments and philosophical assumptions about human dignity, our quality of life, and why we should have a proper phased out extinction. I always discuss relevant topics such as abortion, infanticide, and rearing children in extreme circumstances. As always, I appreciate your willingness to join me in these book reviews. Thank you to the Small World Media team for making this podcast possible. Music Credit: \"Mike Mineo\"Track Name: \"Let Me Be The One\"Music written and performed by: Mike Mineo • Mike Mineo on YouTube HERE: / themikestage    • Mike Mineo on Spotify HERE:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/4IRbV...  • Mike Mineo on Instagram HERE:  https://instagram.com/themikestage  • TOURING INFORMATION: https://mikemineo.comLicence: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0)- Full licence here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...• Music released by: Chill Out Records https://goo.gl/fh3rEJ ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/WuWofAMBpEuO1VNGub6OzFm9Zu8NBBloUSDbM9oe1mA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83NTkz/ZjM0ZDg0OTgzM2Rk/Y2I5ZTBlZDhmMmM5/MzMwZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
