New Interview With Richard Stallman in the 'Exploring Antinatalism' Podcast (Very Personal Topics Covered)

Video: Richard Stallman in 'Exploring Antinatalism'

Shared on January 15th, 2024, i.e. less than a week ago, was this episode with Richard Stallman (recorded with Big Blue Button, as is often the case when he does talks/interviews), which they shared as an MP3 or MP4 file. It's not a famous show and it is based in north America. The subjects covered are quite unique. You seldom hear those views.

We have converted this to WebM. Dr. Stallman spoke about his relationship with his mother, who died some years ago. The subject came up after he had explained GNU albeit much of the show revolves around "[w]hy it is important to have few or no children" (a subject he habitually brings up in talks or writes articles about, sometimes drawing strong backlash for it).

The political or ideological views of Dr. Stallman tend to get him in "trouble" (or PR problem/s), but these ones seem un-controversial or at least well reasoned (the show is generally supportive of these views).

Invidious option:

From the description of the video:

*Dr. Stallman was concerned here lest it appear he accepts singular "they", but couldn't use his gender-neutral singular pronouns in this point. See stallman.org/articles/genderless-pronouns.html.

This is not a new position [1, 2]. █
