    Tarkovsky's Black Dog and the Big White Button

Is the “Big White Button” actually in Tarkovsky's Stalker?No. It's my own thought experiment — a conceptual device that simplifies and sharpens the moral problem at the heart of Stalker. The Room in the film is ambiguous, mysterious, possibly dangerous. The Big White Button strips away that ambiguity: it gives you exactly what you truly desire, but only if that desire is genuine happiness for all, achieved through everyone's voluntary choices. If that's not your deepest desire… the button won't work._____________________________________________________2. Why do you present the Black Dog as female?Because in this framework, she forms a triad with The Wife and The Child — three figures who remain behind while the men go into the Zone. They embody a kind of grounded, enduring presence that contrasts with the abstract, moral-intellectual struggle of the Zone. There's no indication in the film about the dog's gender, but imagining her as female enriches the symmetry — and opens a symbolic space where the Dog is not just a witness, but a watcher, a remnant, possibly a guide._____________________________________________________3. What's the role of The Black Dog in your interpretation?She is both observer and continuity, left behind (perhaps by the alien Visitors) to see if anyone ever uses The Room — or the Button — wisely. She follows the men in the Zone but doesn't interfere. In the end, she returns with them and appears to settle in The Stalker's household. In my reading, she represents the quiet call to try again. She's the cosmic “maybe.”_____________________________________________________4. Are you saying Tarkovsky was wrong, or incomplete?No — more like: unfinished on purpose. Tarkovsky leaves Stalker unresolved because that's the only honest way to end a film about moral uncertainty. What I'm offering is not a critique, but an imagined continuation — a possible next step that replaces spiritual hope with logical clarity, and then exposes the paradox at the core of that clarity._____________________________________________________5. Is the White Button really possible, logically?It seems so, at first glance. But the contradiction creeps in when you examine the conditions: happiness for all + through voluntary choices. What if some choose differently? What if someone wants suffering or domination? That's where the thought experiment collapses into paradox. As I say in the video: “If you are God, you can make them free or happy — but not both.”_____________________________________________________6. So what's the “correct” answer? Should I press the Button or not?That's the wrong question — and the right one. The thought experiment is designed to reveal the limits of benevolence when paired with freedom. There may be no right answer. Or rather: maybe the only right answer is to try again — knowing full well that trying again is also tragic, and human, and holy.

For me, antinatalism means that I have no offspring, I don't plan on having any, and I wouldn't mind – might even be pleased – if everyone followed suit. The “wouldn't mind” and “might even be pleased” bits take me so deep into moral philosophy that it remains to be seen whether I can find my way back. They also define the limits of my extinctionism. My nihilism – if any – is still under construction. We'll see if I have anything sensible to say about it. If not, I'll have to ask the rest of the park philosophers present. I'm sure we'll figure something out, together. Park Philosophy 2025: https://puistofilosofia.fi/puistofilosofia-2025/

    Nimrod's: The EuropeAN Tour 2024

    My name is Nimrod and bout 10 months ago I started doing street anti-natalism activism with the aim of establishing an anti-natalist movement in Israel calling for an end to reproduction. To my surprise it is working better than I thought. This experience has filled me with a sense of belief and hope: if there is room for street activism on such an issue in a place like Israel, even though for all sorts of reasons this country is far from ideal place to start spreading messages about reproduction, I think it can work in many areas of Europe. I think we must try to make this happen.  That's why I decided to go on a journey to try and promote anti-natalism activism throughout Europe. The journey will begin on April 15 and will include over 30 cities in 45 days.  The goal of this journey is to try and initiate grassroots activism in Europe, so obviously the best thing I am hoping for is that people simply join me at the outreach events. That's literally the whole point of this thing. To help initiating some street activism in the hope of spreading anti-natalism across the continent on a regular basis. The best thing you can do if you want to help is of course to get to the activity, because that's the whole idea of this journey. But if it doesn't work out for you with your schedule, or you really don't want to be public with this worldview or whatever reason you have but you still want to help, the best way to help in general, and financially in particular, is if you can host me for the night. Beyond a significant cut in expenses, it would be really nice to meet likeminded people and spend an evening with them. I would very much appreciate such an option if you can.  For more details about the EuropeAN Tour, or to join the journey's WhatsApp group, please send a message to the following Email: theeuropeantour2024@gmail.com, or send a private message on Facebook to ‘AN T Natalism', URL: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085281495305The Planned Journey Route:1.     Madrid – Mon 15.4 + Tue 16.42.     Valencia – Wed 17.43.     Barcelona – Thu 18.4 + Fri 19.44.     Toulouse – Sat 20.45.     Lyon – Sun 21.46.     Paris – Mon 22.4 (Earth Day) From 13:00 PM + Tue 23.47.     Brussels – Wed 24.48.     Leuven – Thu 25.49.     Antwerp – Thu 25.4 From around 19:00 + Fri 26.4 Until 16:0010.  Rotterdam – Fri 26.4 From 18:30 + Sat 27.4 Until 15:3011.  Amsterdam – Sat 27.4 From 18:00 + Sun 28.412.  Cologne – Mon 29.4 + Tue 30.4 Until 14:0013.  Frankfort – Tue 30.4 From 17:0014.  Stuttgart – Wed 1.5 + Thu 2.5 Until 12:30 PM15.  Munich – Thu 2.5 From 16:00 + Fri 3.516.  Vienna – Sat 4.5 + Sun 5.517.  Prague – Mon 6.4 from 16:00 + Tue 7.518.  Dresden – Wed 8.5 Until 17:30 PM19.  Leipzig – Wed 8.5 from 20:00 + Thu 9.520.  Berlin – Fri 10 + Sat 11.521.  Hamburg – Sun 12 from 15:00 + Mon 13.522.  Kolding – Tue 14.5 Until 18:0023.  Aarhus – Wed 15.5 Until 17:0024.  Odense – Thu 16.5 From 20:00 + Fri 17.525.  Copenhagen – Fri 17  From 21:00 + Sat 18.526.  Malmo – Sun 19.527.  Lund – Mon 20.528.  Gothenburg – Tue 21.5 from 11:30 AM + Wednesday 22.529.  Stockholm – Thu 23.5 + Fri 24.530.  Budapest –  Sat 25.531.  Ljubljana –  Sun 26.532.  Bologna –  Mon 27.533.  Milano –  Tue 28.534.  Rome – Wed 29.5If I am coming to your city, pleas

    Welcome to this special one-off collab with the Non-toxic Podcast! Huge thanks to Daniel Penny for inviting Matti & I on the show!From the manosphere to the atmosphere, Non-toxic is a podcast devoted to understanding the ways masculinity and the climate crisis intersect. Join us for conversations with experts, journalists, and regular guys on topics ranging from how to blow up a pipeline to why incels are obsessed with alphas to why you should consider getting buried in a mycelium coffin. Hosted by critic and journalist Daniel Waite Penny and environmental reporter Andrew Lewis.In this episode of Non-toxic, we're talking with activist Amanda Sukenick and philosopher Matti Häyry about the state of antinatalist thinking, exploring the arguments about risk and the potential for suffering that have come to animate a certain corner of the "doomer" climate conversation.This is the second in a two part series on climate babies. Last week, we talked to Sian Norris about far-right efforts to roll back women's bodily autonomy in order to increase populations of white Americans and Europeans and keep out people from the Global South. This week, we're thinking about the other side of the climate baby coin—from pronatalists to antinatalists—who argue humanity should cease to exist completely.To hear a slightly longer version of this episode, click here!: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5fhI0Blk2theof0zHS5HoeNon-toxic Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/1b8PBJq92Hhex0Ig6iUaSeNon-toxic apple:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/non-toxic/id1689965252Non-toxic substack is:https://nontoxicpodcast.substack.comNon-toxic patreon is: patreon.com/nontoxicpodcastNon-toxic IG is:@nontoxic_podcastNon-toxic X: https://twitter.com/nontoxicpodcast
