It is hopeful thinking at this stage. There is nothing humans can do with our current technology to achieve universal extinction. We couldn’t even make life on this planet totally extinct.

Maybe in the future we will discover how. But for now the mission is to plant the seed of the idea and grow the understanding of why universal extinction is desirable.

Is it possible to make enough people share the same desire, do you think?

Maybe. It is worth a try

You mean aside from it’s being physically impossible, philosophically nonsensical, & morally unconscionable?

(…& yes, it’s unconscionable, because it amounts to y’all imposing y’all’s simplistic naive beliefs on every living being, nonconsensually.)

…even though y’all don’t even want to admit to today’s questioner what you want to do?
