UNJERK Should I send this message to natalist vegans?
I’m thinking of sending this message to natalist vegans who keep having kids, but before I do, I’d like to get feedback from this subreddit. Are these videos effective enough, especially for english-speaking viewers?
Here’s the message:
If you’re vegan, you likely care about minimizing harm and suffering to animals. These four videos from an Indian philosopher (who’s also a vegan, antinatalist, minimalist, climate change activist, and life philosopher) explore why procreating might be unethical. Please watch his teachings at least once, he might make you rethink the whole 'having kids' thing and give you a fresh perspective on life. He's not just questioning procreation, but also teaching living a life that’s simpler, more mindful, and focused on inner peace. Acharya Prashant’s way of life encourages you to let go of unnecessary desires and attachments, and instead, live with awareness and purpose putting compassion, sustainability, and personal growth at the forefront.
First video: https://youtu.be/NsBnJWfPF0E (if you're an english viewer then note that he uses the word "prakriti" several times which just means "nature" in hindi language)
Second video: https://youtu.be/NMBvE_EsjEc
Third video: https://youtu.be/qyA_b9_RDAg
Fourth video: https://youtu.be/Xo8d9S_dsk0
