Well, good morning, everybody.

Hope you're doing well.

Stefan Mullen, you've been free domain.

So a couple of interesting questions have come down the pipe.

One is something that I've had recur over the course of the show.

And it is this.

Somebody says, well, Steph, you're pretty pronatalist, but how do I deal with

the possibility that I have genetic issues that could transmit itself to a child? And I find that a

very interesting question, I'm very sympathetic to the challenges of that question, of course, right? But it is a very interesting question. I'm very sympathetic to the challenges of that question, of course, right?

But it is a very interesting question which brings up the relationship between reason and probability.

I don't think there is much of a relationship between reason and probability.

So, with regards to moral questions, of course,

I mean, I've got this in the out of the argument. My book, the first, is deductive reasoning,

which is absolute, right? All men are mortal. Socrates is a man, therefore Socrates is immortal.

And the other is inductive reasoning, which is probabilities. If you see a woman, you know she has 20 cats, right? She lives

next door. She's got 20 cats. You see 19 of her cats are white with a dark spot on their chest, all 19 of them.

You can assume without 100% proof that the 20th cat is the same, right?

She's got a fetish or a preference for that kind of cat, right?

So you can't know for sure, but it's likely, right?

If you had to bet, right? If you had to bet.

I mean, when it comes to pattern recognition, there's this horrible thing in the modern world.

It's truly horrible. The modern world is all about disarming. It's all about disarming the righteous.
