    Honestly I would. Like I wouldn’t hesitate to kill patient zero of a world ending disease.

        Cure for what? That’s a fascist argument. I am not accusing you. Just wanted to inform. I was intellectualizing like that once: if all humans die, life on the planet would thrive, species that go extinct wouldn’t be an issue we would only be seeing it as a product of the evolution of more biodiversity for sure…

        Yet… A friend pointed out, that such disease is just a theorization and reality has shown that this kind of scenarios are lived in, for example, catastrophes. In those cases, the world ending event hits harder to the most vulnerable. Typically, the poorest fraction. Billionaire and other rich people will have resources, bunkers, time, and so on… They may even be saved.

        And this is actually their agenda in, for example, climate change denialism and inaction.

        That’s one reason why elites don’t care about the ecocide.

        The logic that nobody would ever die as long as nobody ever pulls falls through when you realize after 33 cycles you’re risking the entire human population on the whims of a stranger and that irrational actors will always exist.

        It becomes not if but when.
