In 2010, Bryony was in a very dark place, injecting heroin into her foot in a nightclub toilet. Come 2024 and Bryony has turned her life around, running her own business as a handstand and calisthenics coach, promoting a healthy plant-based diet, and living a life free of drugs and alcohol.
A very obvious content warning: this episode explores distressing themes such as bereavement, hard drugs, and addiction.

Dr. David Benatar is a very special guest of mine indeed. A philosophical heavyweight renowned for his work worldwide, Dr. Benatar coined the term 'anti-natalism' and wrote the infamous anti-natalist book 'Better Never to Have Been', which puts forward the argument that it is bad that sentient life comes into existence and that we ought not procreate. Dr. Benatar's work has shaped my life immensely.
In this episode, I put to Dr. Benatar (a vegan anti-natalist himself) the idea put forward by NATALIST vegans (i.e. vegans who believe procreation is NOT immoral) that anti-natalism could actually HARM animals in the long run.
We discuss whether anti-natalist vegans should have a duty to clear the most land space to prevent creation of new life; whether veganism's environmental "benefits" are indeed a benefit; the contentious killing predators debate; and whether humans need to be around to help mitigate the horrendous issue of wild animal suffering. Plus, Dr. Benatar gives his opinion on what vegans with carnivorous animals such as snakes in their care ought to do with the animal.

David C. Arenas is an animal rights activist from Colombia. He is passionate about veganism from a rights-based perspective and is well-versed on the history of veganism and the animal rights movement.
In this episode he shares the red flags he spotted leading up to CosmicSkeptic's recent u-turn, and we discuss the initial intentions of the founders of the Vegan Society. David also shares why Leslie Cross—not Donald Watson—was perhaps the most significant figure in the foundation of the modern vegan movement and its principles, and talks about the errors he has seen the Vegan Society make since Cross's initial doctrine. David also shares why he sees utilitarianism as an incompatible philosophy with veganism.
