John Ladd has spent his whole life on his family's ranch, which they've owned since 1896. But as a rancher in Cochise County, Arizona he's not just battling mother nature and lost cattle: he's battling illegal aliens, drug cartels, and the US Border Patrol. In this episode we visit John and his ranching neighbors to find out what it's like to live on the US-Mexico border. We hear what they really think of Trump's proposed wall, their frustrations with the US Border Patrol, and whom they rely on for protection. We also hear from the National Border Patrol Council on challenges facing Border Patrol Agents and how Pres. Trump has ushered in a morale boost for agents patrolling our borders.

Jordan Peterson debates a "philosopher" that supports antinatalism ( philosophical position that assigns a negative value to birth. Antinatalists argue that people should refrain from procreation because it is immoral)

Seems like such an asinine position to have. I think life sucks and it's more negative than positive...

Dan Carlin recently appeared on the Dr. Drew podcast.

I’d link it but I’m so busy working on the next HH that fuck y’all.

I think its actually a fairly interesting philosophical position. There are several interesting books on this: David Benatar wrote one that is a chore but makes an interesting case.

I think you would go crazy if you truly believed it, but think about most lives on Earth. Would you rather exist in Africa or not be born? What about if you were born with a debilitating disease that ensures you will suffer nothing but pain for your whole life? I don't have answers to these questions at all, but they are interesting to think about.

I'm not an antinatalist, but you can catch whiffs of this stuff throughout history. Seneca said something like life has many beautiful moments, but if you could see the whole thing through before you got it you would turn it down if someone offered it to you as a gift. If I were you, I would read more about the idea before you write it off completely. If anything, I would give them more credit for getting to the source of the problem quicker.

I've thought about this question before this podcast. I know it isn't the first time a human being question the worthiness of being itself. And I think its a nonsense proposition. It leads no where. Go kill yourself if you think its that bad. I'm not against suicide in an of itself. But overall, I believe it's hubris to think you can look at the long view of history and conclude that life is not worth living or even being itself. Only a pretentious self loathing "philosopher" would come to that conclusion with any degree of seriousness and the funny thing is all they do is write about it.

They don't DO anything. It preposterous. Its a prime example of being too self aware/ conscious/rumination leads to this type of circle jerk thought experiment nonsense. The Greeks knew life was tragic (overall) and there was a beauty in it pretty much b/c it was tragic and that is why even the Gods envied humans. The Gods existence didn't burn as bright as at least some humans do/did etc.
