We reproduce to try outsmart our own deaths, argues anti-natalist Patricia McCormack • *** Visit HowTheLightGetsln: https://howthelightgetsin.org/hay/ • ** Donate to the IAI: https://iai.tv/support-the-iai/donate • Listen to our weekly podcast: / instituteofartandideas • Patricia MacCormack's argument: • 1. Celebrating death will make us more caring and rethink what it is to make life worth living • 2. We need to rethink the idea of death and celebrate deaths. • 3. Why do we extend life when it's only suffering yet talk about genocide in abstract numbers? • 4. Not being afraid of death will make us be more caring, worrying about relations rather than power, in this life. • 5. Accepting finetude will make us rethink life itself and we need to do so as individuals and as a collective • 6. We are living in expense of life; for a lot of people the idea of living and suffering is seen as preferable to life as a vitalistic end. • 7. Welcoming death, thinking about it both as individuals and as collectives, means that genocides will become more meaningful, and individual death more celebrated. • 8. It also gets rid of the Godcomplex and the desire for technology to overcome death ultimately. • 9. Finetude makes you think everything differently. • For debates and talks: https://iai.tv • For articles: https://iai.tv/articles • For courses: https://iai.tv/iai-academy/courses • • ****************HowTheLightGetsIn******************** • **The World's Largest Philosophy and Music Festival** • Over 200 events, 80 debates and talks, and 100 music and performance events. • HowTheLightGetsIn Festival returns to Hay-on-Wye this May after a sell-out debut in London last September.
