Matti Häyry @ Puistofilosofia / Park Philosophy PRESS RELEASE A Splash of Antinatalism in a Popular Finnish Outdoor Philosophy Event • Matti Häyry has been commissioned to give a presentation / performance in the popular outdoor philosophy event Puistofilosofia (Park Philosophy) in Finland in July 2025 • Puistofilosofia Week is an annual festival of thought and dialogue held in Ikaalinen, where people gather in the shade of the Central Park to discuss – Socratically – topics that interest them • Matti Häyry is a Finnish philosopher, a voluntarily extinctionist antinatalist, and he will talk about his life-long journey towards antinatalism, extinctionism, and nihilism – more below • The presentation, in Finnish, is titled No New People, No World, No Purpose – But in What Order? and, apart from academic info flashes it will include songs about futility and beyond • The full program and exact schedule will be released during the spring, and negotiations are underway for the recording and production of the performance for public distribution after the event Matti outlines his presentation: I’ll be chatting about antinatalism (no new people), extinctionism (no world), and nihilism (no purpose), and singing songs that may or may not have to do with what I say. 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/
