Is “bacche karna paap hai” really a logical argument? Is “life is a suffering” the ultimate truth of existence? Or have we, as a generation drowning in Instagram philosophy and existential doom, started oversimplifying life to a single dark sentence?
In this episode, we take a deep dive into antinatalism, the fast-growing idea that says we shouldn’t have children because life is nothing but suffering. Influencers, philosophers, and even modern spiritual teachers like Acharya Prashant often echo the line that “life is dukh”, “life is pain”, and “birth is violence.” But is that the complete picture? Or just one emotional frame?

Together, we explore why reducing life to suffering is a half-truth. Yes, there is pain. But there is also love, meaning, joy, resilience, growth, responsibility, purpose, connection, creativity, and thousands of moments that make life worth living.
If antinatalists claim that life is only misery, are they ignoring real-world data, evolutionary psychology, human adaptability, positive psychology, and the simple lived experience of billions who find meaning in family, relationships, art, work, and community?

We also break down whether antinatalism is actually a rational philosophy or just a reaction to personal trauma, modern burnout, and hyper-exposure to negativity. And if people like Acharya Prashant equate life with suffering, does that automatically mean bringing a child into the world is immoral? Or is that a philosophical shortcut that collapses under basic scrutiny?

This episode discusses:
• Is life really suffering?
• Is baccha paida karna paap?
• Why antinatalists might be wrong
• Acharya Prashant’s influence on antinatalism-style thinking
• Meaning of life vs suffering
• Is parenting immoral?
• Why reducing life to pain is incomplete
• Modern nihilism, depression, existential dread
• How Instagram philosophy confuses people
• Why suffering isn’t the full story of human experience
• Why life has net positive meaning

If you’ve ever felt confused by arguments like “don’t have kids,” “life is torture,” or “existence is a burden,” this conversation will help you see the whole picture, not just the dark half.
