Not really, considering the permanent effects alcohol can take on a developing brain. There is wisdom in trying to isolate minors from alcohol. It can be argued that by keeping them outside of pubs and bars, we're restricting them to public environments where alcohol is not apart of the social fabric and therefore they won't have the same desire drink in order to meet the social standard. Then again, you can just as easily argue that prohibition only drives demand, and that by labelling it as exclusive for an in-group (adults), minors are more likely to pursue alcohol even further.

My guinea pig died out of nowhere when I was in 5th grade and I was deviated. He had some crystals in his ween and we took him to the emergency vet and they called the next day to say he was over the yellow brick wall or whatever

Former Liquor Control Board of Ontario employee, teens are allowed inside the LCBO with their parents. They're allowed to push the cart, carry a basket, and unload the basket/cart at the point of sale and help package it up. However, As soon as they point out alcohol their parents buy or touch the product, then they get ID'd by law that we are legally bound (by oath of office and allegiance to the King, mind you) to do. Ho leeeeeee do the parents have no chill about it, way worse than the kids.
Bruh, of course the parents would have no chill about it, that’s the most insane way to do it. Just saying “no teens” at the door would be less infuriating than going “no sale, your 17 year old son got that bottle off the shelf for you.”

It's illegal for Systembolaget(Sweden) to sell to people that are under 20, visibly intoxicated or that you suspect will supply alcohol to minors. Having that exact rule about touching the product sounds really odd though, are you sure that's not just an "in practise rule"?
@@NotASummoner Yes, the guy who worked for the company, underwent training, did annual re-ups on our training, saw a colleague got suspended after a report from a secret shopper, and heard the messages on the PA every 15 minutes a shift for 7 years specifically saying it's a rule is sure that it's not an "in practice rule."
@@RushandSNLfan That's just weird then, I guess it weeds out the completely wack adults but I feel like they'd be weeded out anyways if it wasn't an ironclad no touching rule. Maybe it's just so that the employee can say it's completely out of their hands as it has nothing to do with their own judgement? I'm just trying to figure out what possible reason they'd make it the rule.

Love seeing a tweet and reading the discourse. Then hopping over to RUclips and the first thumbnail I see is an NL video with the same tweet in the thumbnail.

My mom loves a book series called Silo so when the TV show came out, and she liked it, she loved it, and even better they paced out the episodes so every week my mom would tell me all about it and go online to talk about it.

Remember the first time I went to the bar, my friends told me not to curse because there were kids nearby. I was so confused. Guess thats last born problems
I do t know about the Reddit but any actual academic debate on antinatalism is inherently rhetorical and and acknowledged by the authors as inherently unfulfillable. Like I don’t think I’ve read a single piece of writing on it that wasn’t just a work of philosophical extrapolation that the authors acknowledges will never be a reality, like most of the arguements derive from extrapolating on the concept of human suffering to the extreme. The crux being is human suffering in itself valuable, I.e is it better to live and suffer than to never live but never suffer. I don’t think any academics really view it as a real life issue, or even anything to do with children at all. Natalism just referring to the act of birth, the subreddit just sounds like people that hate children not actually anything to do with the philosophy of suffering.
in colloqiual terms anti-natalism almost always refers to people who just hate kids and not any philosophical meaning. the term "anti-natal" is kinda implying the hatred of birth and therefore children, so honestly its just a bad descriptive name lmao
@@JD-wu5pf I mean, that's been the root of almost every argument I've had with anti natalists, predicated entirely on "I'm miserable and see no value in life and want total life extinction as a result" There's a massive difference between someone who doesn't want a child for personal reasons, and someone who believes in total extinction of sapience in the universe.

3:35 I definitely agree with this sentiment, I mean yeah it save up my money for monthly subscriptions, but I don't like that they drowning you in one go, it's like rotting your brain with too much content.
fun fact, plato's allegory of the cave is actually how our brains work the part of your brain that makes up your conscious mind has no access to any of your sensory information. your senses get fed into a part of your brain that is (outside of really hard drug trips) completely separated from your mind, and it generates a simulation of what it thinks the world is like using a combination of past experiences, expectations and biases. and then that simulated external world, your consciousness fakes looking into with senses that it doesn't actually have, that are so far removed from what your actual sensory organs feed you that the raw input of your senses would be useless to you for example; if you hold out your pinky as far as you can from yourself, your actual eyes can only see color in an area smaller than your nail. and yet you see color everywhere all at once; because your fake simulated eyes that your mind is using to peer at the fake simulated world that it looks at doesn't work the same way as your real eyes. if the wall around your computer screen changed color every time you look at your screen and then change back when you look away you'd never notice because your real eyes don't see color outside of what they're focusing on and your mind is just guessing what color the wall is based on what color it was the last time you got good info on it the take-away being that you probably should take your own experiences with the grain of salt you'd put into anybody's experiences who you happen to know is constantly hallucinating, because that's what you are; hallucinating, constantly. if you thought that the light was green when you last looked at it, maybe give it another glance before you go. same goes for, like, giving other people the benefit of the doubt when they say they told you something, or not putting too much stock into unexplained noises or sensations
I think the your pet vs someones kid question is actually kind of interesting because while a human life should mean more than a pets, the sense of responsibility that would drive someone to save their pet over a strangers child makes some sense
I thought the dog-friendly child-free place was just trying to not get a lawsuit for a dog mauling a child. So they picked one thing to be okay and not the other.

If you leave your baby outside the building they should take your baby and the weed. Baby inside the dispensary is totally fine. Catch my ass walking into auto zone with a 5 year old and someone starts yelling Sir, SIR. You can't bring them into the car part store, they can't drive
hmmmmm, i think there is human suffering at all ages. this is what i am writing so i don’t write about how i’m angry NL said 28, but now i realize i’m pretty sure i’m 27? It’s difficult because as i get older i find myself conceptualizing getting older as though it has already happened.
100% save your pet, and only then would I try to save the stranger's child. I mean, where are their parents? I have my responsibilities and they have theirs, I'll help if I can but I have my own problems.
The antinatalism discourse is so crazy when you actually look at birthrates... Nearly every Western country (and increasingly Asian countries as well) has negative birthrates and the difference is propped up by immigration. But what happens when the countries those people are emigrating from, modernize more and begin to have negative birthrates as well? The global fertility rate has been trending down since 1965 and is expected to drop below replacement levels in the next 10 years or so. The declining world population is going to become a huge issue overnight, and all these Redditor opinions about not having children will seem very insignificant compared to the global labor shortage, where countries are fighting over dwindling human capital.
For sure birth rates are an economic problem for countries that need to grow indefinitely. This isn’t because millions of people are suddenly like “I hate kids” it’s just less and less economically feasible to have kids. Focusing on antinatalism when looking at birth rates is ignoring the real problem of economic pressures not really giving people the option to have kids anymore
@@landonscott7943 The economy is a smaller part of the problem. People have had much higher birthrates in much worse economies for millennia. Even during the great Soviet famines where millions starved and money was worthless, they still had much higher birthrates than modern America. It's cultural, a disdain for children and pessimism about life generally, and the proliferation of birth control especially since the 60s (when the fertility rate started dropping). It's not just "a problem for countries that need to grow indefinitely," it's a problem for the entire world having enough people to create food and transport it; increasingly harsh penalties for anyone wishing to leave their country ("you're too valuable to leave"); and over centuries, human extinction (since apparently nothing has been able to reverse the declining fertility rate for 60 years, what will be the solution?).
then I imagine we start downscaling rather than this infinite-line-goes-up thing we have going on currently. We start only producing as much as we need. Man, wouldn't that be something
@@MetroAndroid I feel like I'm gonna be "that guy" but I genuinely don't think this is a problem to anyone but capitalists (as in, the capitalist class). A society which produces exactly what it needs to sustain itself with a slight surplus for trade and as a safety net is the ideal society, not the ever growing, infinite-growth-in-a-finite-universe mentality of capitalism. If you start viewing people as people and not "human capital" that exists only to further increase a meaningless number then the wellbeing of those people becomes a far clearer goal. That is achievable with our current level of technology and manpower, even without any AI. By the time this is a realistic problem globally we'll likely already have general AI that can work a significant % of the jobs discounting the need for manpower in the first place. Under capitalism, that's a dystopian reality with a 40% unemployment rate, under any reasonable system, it's a utopia. Not to completely discredit your point, the birth rate IS decreasing instead of stabilizing, and while I do think that the economic aspect is a far bigger slice of the cake than you think, there are some cultural factors such as birth control, women entering the workplace/getting an education, dating apps/dating culture but I really doubt that birth control and feminism are the main factors for what we're seeing today. In a society where having children didn't significantly impact your wealth and therefore your wellbeing, in a society where those children are guaranteed to be taken care of and get a decent quality of life, people would be having far more children than they are today in the west. I do think there is a very real issue with modern dating culture for a variety of reasons, but I frankly don't really have any solutions for that, especially when it's just a fraction of the greater problem which is how tech companies are trying to squeeze every last drop of time and attention out of us at the cost of our mental and physical health, our socialization and our ability to function "normally". I sound like a boomer but I think the main cultural problems stem from social media companies killing our society to try to make a profit.
Other people don't want to hear someone else's children screaming all the time near them. Hell, I bet parents that happen to have a free evening don't want to be near other people's screaming children. As long as there are some places that allow children and others that don't, I think all is fine.
Idk. I understand completely that some ppl might not want to be around kids or babies but I also feel like that annoyance is pretty mild in comparison to being someone with a child/children who just can’t go places unless they specifically find and schedule for them to be looked after someone else. I’m worried about a culture that can becomes increasingly hostile/less accommodating to parents.
@@ataraxia7439 It's not just the society's fault though it's beginning to be hostile, but also the parent's. Parents nowadays bet on the privilege that they have kids and will be allowed everything, but fail to uphold their side of the deal and be responsible for their children. When I was a kid, I had to shut up and behave in silent places like restaurants, doctor's office, etc.. And failure to do so was met with corrections. I learned I am supposed to NOT annoy my surroundings and control myself. From parents around me nowadays I see just endless entitlement to be accommodated, while the kids often do whatever they want, being loud, destroying property etc. and they get no reprimand. They learn there are no consequences for their actions. Sorry, but I want to keep such maladjusted families as far away from me as possible.
@@nnm711 I think maybe there's a halfway point people can reach. Obviously, people should try to get their kids to behave and be considerate of others as much as they reasonably can but also it's just kind of a reality that some kids and babies are going to sometimes not be silent or invisible and it should be okay fo r them to be like that sometimes in public spaces.
@@ataraxia7439 If you can't get a babysitter, don't go out or choose a place that is child friendly. When I go out for drinks I don't want to have some random kid screaming nearby. You can buy some alcohol at the store and drink at home until you get a babysitter. A pub is a publicly accessible private space. Kids can go be kids at the park, the pub is not a park nor a place where kids should be present.
@@nnm711 Lmao, adults can't handle themselves in publics. Watching loud videos in pbjlic, blasting music at 3am, fighting, pissed drunk botjering people, being sex pests. But u mfers are going after some of the only people, kids to have a valid excuse
My gerbils died when I was little and we held a burial and funeral in the back garden, buried together in a small cardboard box. By the end we were all laughing.
I can see why nothernlion think that regarding r/antinatalism but I disagree. The thing is antinatalism doesn't have a single core argument and nor there is a single core argument against it. Every antinatalist has a different take. That's why the wiki is written in multiple different perspective. This might be why you would antintalist if you are conservative, christian, buddhist, left wing etc etc.

Hey librarian, maybe you already have it in the archives but a compilation of NL going off about people unwilling to answer hypotheticals would go crazy for me personally. Keep up the good work
Mainly because hypotheticals never actually give you the answer you ask it for
I'm 28 and as soon as he read the "it's hard to be any age" comment I thought "honestly it's not that hard being 28" and actually laughed out loud when he said the exact same thing a second later. Good to know this is as good as it gets.
27 here and never been better. Life has been ridiculously difficult for me at many points in my life, but being an adult with a stable job im pretty good at and comfortable with, no school, home and family (no kids) life has never been easier
My guinea pig died out of nowhere when I was in 5th grade and I was deviated. He had some crystals in his ween and we took him to the emergency vet and they called the next day to say he was over the yellow brick wall or whatever

Former Liquor Control Board of Ontario employee, teens are allowed inside the LCBO with their parents. They're allowed to push the cart, carry a basket, and unload the basket/cart at the point of sale and help package it up.
However, As soon as they point out alcohol their parents buy or touch the product, then they get ID'd by law that we are legally bound (by oath of office and allegiance to the King, mind you) to do.
Ho leeeeeee do the parents have no chill about it, way worse than the kids.
Bruh, of course the parents would have no chill about it, that’s the most insane way to do it.
Just saying “no teens” at the door would be less infuriating than going “no sale, your 17 year old son got that bottle off the shelf for you.”
@@ricflairsayswoo5894my brother got me banned from the liquor store down the road because of these stupid ass laws 😂😭 legit just because he came in with me and pointed at a bottle of vodka with no actual interest in it was just asking a question…
It's illegal for Systembolaget(Sweden) to sell to people that are under 20, visibly intoxicated or that you suspect will supply alcohol to minors. Having that exact rule about touching the product sounds really odd though, are you sure that's not just an "in practise rule"?
@@NotASummoner Yes, the guy who worked for the company, underwent training, did annual re-ups on our training, saw a colleague got suspended after a report from a secret shopper, and heard the messages on the PA every 15 minutes a shift for 7 years specifically saying it's a rule is sure that it's not an "in practice rule."
@@RushandSNLfan That's just weird then, I guess it weeds out the completely wack adults but I feel like they'd be weeded out anyways if it wasn't an ironclad no touching rule. Maybe it's just so that the employee can say it's completely out of their hands as it has nothing to do with their own judgement? I'm just trying to figure out what possible reason they'd make it the rule.
I've had two guinea pigs that died in pretty normal circumstances, the first died overnight and the second died from old age, it was pretty sad I held him when he was slowly passing away
Love seeing a tweet and reading the discourse. Then hopping over to RUclips and the first thumbnail I see is an NL video with the same tweet in the thumbnail.
I think NL has a really potent point on no longer getting to be apart of that culture as a show releases. Like you're not gonna get the same community with the binge model, there just isn't excitement outside of what happens next season where you get to binge it again. I may also be salty because if it wasn't released for binging, I wouldn't have been spoiled things towards the end of the fallout show.
My mom loves a book series called Silo so when the TV show came out, and she liked it, she loved it, and even better they paced out the episodes so every week my mom would tell me all about it and go online to talk about it.
It really builds way more hype and buzz, and let's people do the fun parts of speculation and discussion, and give more time and focus per episode.
the tweet that i saw quoting the og was someone saying "why are we banning mothers aka WOMEN from facilities now??" 💀
17:33 This is why he's the GOAT
Remember the first time I went to the bar, my friends told me not to curse because there were kids nearby. I was so confused. Guess thats last born problems

Holy fuck the Guinea pig bit had me fucking dying, gasping for breath
You should see how many strollers there are outside restaurants/cafes in the winter in Scandinavia.
If anyone cares, the Fallout show is very good. Even if I'd never heard of or played Fallout I still would have enjoyed it a great deal.

I do t know about the Reddit but any actual academic debate on antinatalism is inherently rhetorical and and acknowledged by the authors as inherently unfulfillable. Like I don’t think I’ve read a single piece of writing on it that wasn’t just a work of philosophical extrapolation that the authors acknowledges will never be a reality, like most of the arguements derive from extrapolating on the concept of human suffering to the extreme. The crux being is human suffering in itself valuable, I.e is it better to live and suffer than to never live but never suffer.
I don’t think any academics really view it as a real life issue, or even anything to do with children at all. Natalism just referring to the act of birth, the subreddit just sounds like people that hate children not actually anything to do with the philosophy of suffering.
in colloqiual terms anti-natalism almost always refers to people who just hate kids and not any philosophical meaning. the term "anti-natal" is kinda implying the hatred of birth and therefore children, so honestly its just a bad descriptive name lmao
It's all probably incels coping that they can't get kids
I don't know I just don't want kids cuz then I wouldn't be able to snort coke all the time.
It's often massive projection
"I hate my own life and don't want others to have a chance for good"
@@JD-wu5pf I mean, that's been the root of almost every argument I've had with anti natalists, predicated entirely on "I'm miserable and see no value in life and want total life extinction as a result"
There's a massive difference between someone who doesn't want a child for personal reasons, and someone who believes in total extinction of sapience in the universe.
You're not wrong. Streaming has killed the cliffhanger. I miss well done trailers too. Fallout was definitely a cut above though
I think you're right on track for today's expectations
A lady wanted to card me once when I was like 17 and my dad was buying beer with me present. My old mad was pretty pissed that she even asked.
The story that starts this video is both heartwarming and a little bit painful, I wouldn’t know whether to clarify it or not.
I'm with NL, I enjoy the weekly release schedule, like Shogun. It lets you simmer in the boiling pot of British sailor oil.
wow holy shit it really circled back around at the end huh, hell yeah
Reminds me of the finale of a little book called Fabian - The story of a Moralist

Hello to the Librarians

Twitter recently forced their domain to show up as x and it caused my script blocker to reject it, happiest I've ever been.
I don't go to church anymore Librarian videos of NL being completely normal are my sermons
3:35 I definitely agree with this sentiment, I mean yeah it save up my money for monthly subscriptions, but I don't like that they drowning you in one go, it's like rotting your brain with too much content.
fun fact, plato's allegory of the cave is actually how our brains work
the part of your brain that makes up your conscious mind has no access to any of your sensory information. your senses get fed into a part of your brain that is (outside of really hard drug trips) completely separated from your mind, and it generates a simulation of what it thinks the world is like using a combination of past experiences, expectations and biases. and then that simulated external world, your consciousness fakes looking into with senses that it doesn't actually have, that are so far removed from what your actual sensory organs feed you that the raw input of your senses would be useless to you
for example; if you hold out your pinky as far as you can from yourself, your actual eyes can only see color in an area smaller than your nail. and yet you see color everywhere all at once; because your fake simulated eyes that your mind is using to peer at the fake simulated world that it looks at doesn't work the same way as your real eyes. if the wall around your computer screen changed color every time you look at your screen and then change back when you look away you'd never notice because your real eyes don't see color outside of what they're focusing on and your mind is just guessing what color the wall is based on what color it was the last time you got good info on it
the take-away being that you probably should take your own experiences with the grain of salt you'd put into anybody's experiences who you happen to know is constantly hallucinating, because that's what you are; hallucinating, constantly. if you thought that the light was green when you last looked at it, maybe give it another glance before you go. same goes for, like, giving other people the benefit of the doubt when they say they told you something, or not putting too much stock into unexplained noises or sensations
I've never been psychologically ruined by a yt comment before

I think the your pet vs someones kid question is actually kind of interesting because while a human life should mean more than a pets, the sense of responsibility that would drive someone to save their pet over a strangers child makes some sense

100% save your pet, and only then would I try to save the stranger's child. I mean, where are their parents? I have my responsibilities and they have theirs, I'll help if I can but I have my own problems.
The antinatalism discourse is so crazy when you actually look at birthrates... Nearly every Western country (and increasingly Asian countries as well) has negative birthrates and the difference is propped up by immigration. But what happens when the countries those people are emigrating from, modernize more and begin to have negative birthrates as well? The global fertility rate has been trending down since 1965 and is expected to drop below replacement levels in the next 10 years or so. The declining world population is going to become a huge issue overnight, and all these Redditor opinions about not having children will seem very insignificant compared to the global labor shortage, where countries are fighting over dwindling human capital.
For sure birth rates are an economic problem for countries that need to grow indefinitely. This isn’t because millions of people are suddenly like “I hate kids” it’s just less and less economically feasible to have kids. Focusing on antinatalism when looking at birth rates is ignoring the real problem of economic pressures not really giving people the option to have kids anymore
@@landonscott7943 The economy is a smaller part of the problem. People have had much higher birthrates in much worse economies for millennia. Even during the great Soviet famines where millions starved and money was worthless, they still had much higher birthrates than modern America. It's cultural, a disdain for children and pessimism about life generally, and the proliferation of birth control especially since the 60s (when the fertility rate started dropping).
It's not just "a problem for countries that need to grow indefinitely," it's a problem for the entire world having enough people to create food and transport it; increasingly harsh penalties for anyone wishing to leave their country ("you're too valuable to leave"); and over centuries, human extinction (since apparently nothing has been able to reverse the declining fertility rate for 60 years, what will be the solution?).
then I imagine we start downscaling rather than this infinite-line-goes-up thing we have going on currently. We start only producing as much as we need. Man, wouldn't that be something
careful you're gonna give some CEO's a heart attack talking like that
@@MetroAndroid I feel like I'm gonna be "that guy" but I genuinely don't think this is a problem to anyone but capitalists (as in, the capitalist class). A society which produces exactly what it needs to sustain itself with a slight surplus for trade and as a safety net is the ideal society, not the ever growing, infinite-growth-in-a-finite-universe mentality of capitalism. If you start viewing people as people and not "human capital" that exists only to further increase a meaningless number then the wellbeing of those people becomes a far clearer goal. That is achievable with our current level of technology and manpower, even without any AI. By the time this is a realistic problem globally we'll likely already have general AI that can work a significant % of the jobs discounting the need for manpower in the first place. Under capitalism, that's a dystopian reality with a 40% unemployment rate, under any reasonable system, it's a utopia.
Not to completely discredit your point, the birth rate IS decreasing instead of stabilizing, and while I do think that the economic aspect is a far bigger slice of the cake than you think, there are some cultural factors such as birth control, women entering the workplace/getting an education, dating apps/dating culture but I really doubt that birth control and feminism are the main factors for what we're seeing today. In a society where having children didn't significantly impact your wealth and therefore your wellbeing, in a society where those children are guaranteed to be taken care of and get a decent quality of life, people would be having far more children than they are today in the west. I do think there is a very real issue with modern dating culture for a variety of reasons, but I frankly don't really have any solutions for that, especially when it's just a fraction of the greater problem which is how tech companies are trying to squeeze every last drop of time and attention out of us at the cost of our mental and physical health, our socialization and our ability to function "normally". I sound like a boomer but I think the main cultural problems stem from social media companies killing our society to try to make a profit.
Other people don't want to hear someone else's children screaming all the time near them. Hell, I bet parents that happen to have a free evening don't want to be near other people's screaming children. As long as there are some places that allow children and others that don't, I think all is fine.
Idk. I understand completely that some ppl might not want to be around kids or babies but I also feel like that annoyance is pretty mild in comparison to being someone with a child/children who just can’t go places unless they specifically find and schedule for them to be looked after someone else. I’m worried about a culture that can becomes increasingly hostile/less accommodating to parents.
@@ataraxia7439 It's not just the society's fault though it's beginning to be hostile, but also the parent's. Parents nowadays bet on the privilege that they have kids and will be allowed everything, but fail to uphold their side of the deal and be responsible for their children.
When I was a kid, I had to shut up and behave in silent places like restaurants, doctor's office, etc.. And failure to do so was met with corrections. I learned I am supposed to NOT annoy my surroundings and control myself.
From parents around me nowadays I see just endless entitlement to be accommodated, while the kids often do whatever they want, being loud, destroying property etc. and they get no reprimand. They learn there are no consequences for their actions. Sorry, but I want to keep such maladjusted families as far away from me as possible.
@@nnm711 I think maybe there's a halfway point people can reach. Obviously, people should try to get their kids to behave and be considerate of others as much as they reasonably can but also it's just kind of a reality that some kids and babies are going to sometimes not be silent or invisible and it should be okay fo r them to be like that sometimes in public spaces.
@@ataraxia7439 If you can't get a babysitter, don't go out or choose a place that is child friendly. When I go out for drinks I don't want to have some random kid screaming nearby. You can buy some alcohol at the store and drink at home until you get a babysitter. A pub is a publicly accessible private space. Kids can go be kids at the park, the pub is not a park nor a place where kids should be present.
@@nnm711 Lmao, adults can't handle themselves in publics. Watching loud videos in pbjlic, blasting music at 3am, fighting, pissed drunk botjering people, being sex pests. But u mfers are going after some of the only people, kids to have a valid excuse

I can see why nothernlion think that regarding r/antinatalism but I disagree. The thing is antinatalism doesn't have a single core argument and nor there is a single core argument against it. Every antinatalist has a different take. That's why the wiki is written in multiple different perspective. This might be why you would antintalist if you are conservative, christian, buddhist, left wing etc etc.
