My guest today is Malcolm Collins: pronatalist campaigner, co-founder (along with his wife Simone) of the Collins Institute, and author of many books, including 'The Pragmatist's Guide to Crafting Religion.' We spoke about religion – why so many religions are haemorrhaging adherents, the elements that a religion needs in order to survive and spread, and the Collins' own efforts to design a religion that contains those elements.
In the extended version of the episode, we spoke about religious attitudes towards reproductive technologies, particularly IVF, and the perils of hedonistic entertainment technologies that will be so attractive to the coming generation of young people.
