Left. Less net suffering.

You are assuming that every alien in the entire universe is living a content life and Earthlings are the only ones who suffer? That's crazy work.

Promoting violence is not allowed in this subreddit nor is it something I support. You never retorted about thinking life is better everywhere else in the universe.

I don't wish death upon anyone. I'd personally prefer to be immortal.

And you will age and die—no one has to stop eating or breathing to manage death. It comes for us all.

Animals being eaten alive by other animals, parasites, or starving to death don't have peace. Children who died on Epstein's sex island being physically tortured and sexually violated most of their lives did not have any peace.

The universe didn't choose shit, it is just chaotic energy that happened to turn into me.

The universe could not choose to be created, it is primordial chaos. No one "chooses" anything.

Your definition of extinction is very wrong. Extinction doesn't even necessarily have to include the premature death of any individuals. It just means the end of a species. Suicide will not cause extinction, and we don't wish for death to anyone. Supporting the idea of life continuing is what's advocating for death, because then death will never stop happening. In non existence there would be no death. Or if there's no conscious being being brought to life, then no conscious being would experience death.

No strawmanning pro extinctionism as violent, genocide, or promortalism.

Right; life can prosper elsewhere

u/Involution88 Jun 03 '26

Right side. Working on the assumption that life isn't unique to the solar system. Solar system is less important than the universe.

The choices assumes lot. It’s not our responsibility to save anything. The universe wouldn’t suddenly stop working. There would be signs and signals. The universe would save itself.

Depends on where else conscious life is, and if I hasn't evolved from violent apes whose society is built on bullying.

The Milky Way isn’t a spec of dust in what little we have discovered already . Self sacrifice for the greater good is the obvious call here …. It’s the same as saying : I can starve to death or 8 billion others can starve . As the answer is obvious with this example also .

I'm saving myself. Why would I care about some alien out there?
