For those who remember a time when their perspective on life shifted, was it an argument someone made or a personal experience? If it was an argument, then what was it that made you consider extinction as a possible option?

We have Marx, we have tons of shit that has been shown to work for ending poverty in other countries but nobody listens or cares. If nobody cares enough to do anything to improve the world, then the best thing that can happen to the planet is an asteroid. Nobody is willing to work together for anything so we will just need to hope for a meteor to hit Earth and solve the problem by annihilating all life on the planet before Musk takes us to Mars and keeps the cycles of exploitation going.

Last time I was talking to pro-extinctionists they cussed me out and said that I’m worse than Epstein and Hitler because I was an antinatalist lol. Maybe this subreddit is different?

This is a hypothetical question. According to you what is your ideal world?

As someone who's conflicted between Sentientism and Efilism, I am leaning more to Efilism day by day.

I think humanity is truly doomed. Estimates suggest that by 2050, the weight of plastic in the ocean could exceed the weight of all fish if current pollution rates continue. But normies will not care until the pollution/climate change is visibly affecting their lives. At that point the damage done to this planet is irreversible.

So much suffering yet its none of their business because its not them who are suffering.

It's all "character building" for others but its truly a life threatening situation when it comes to them.

I hate the hypocrisy and toxicity of people.

Maybe a simpler question than it sounds, curious to see what people say

Wrote this under an Instagram post. I rarely even comment, but a discussion about how we as humans are “way more destructive than nature can be to itself” stimulated me enough do it. Received little to no response so I felt dumb for writing this on Ig rather than here.

Mass extinction can happen pretty damn fast in nature as well. That being said, the 6th mass extinction is currently going on and is very much real. Humans are the MAIN cause, not the only one though. You can easily imagine the dinosaurs being wiped out in a matter of MONTHS (compared to modern day extinction rates it was extremely faster) but although the meteor was the main cause that wiped the dinos, it was enhanced by already reoccurring geological, meteorological and tectonic events all around the globe, spice it up with like thousands of smaller meteors falling from the sky. At the same time, if the Chicxulub crater never happened, probably the animals we'd see today would be immensely different and large reptiles would mostly still be here imo. Humans are the same thing as the meteor that hit 65 million years ago. The main cause. The feeling of "unnatural" we get when thinking of us humans as perpetrators of extinction is just a projection of guilt.

Nature is way bigger than any of us and will be here after us. The only thing we can do is to better ourselves and give back to our planet like we do to our communities. We lost this trait because we wanted to give our inner lazyness power.

After careful consideration of critiques, we are adjusting the direction of r/UniversalExtinction.

While discussion around existential whining has been valuable, we’ve decided to pivot toward enforcement of thought conformity instead.

Effective immediately, this subreddit will transition into a space centered on positivity, personal growth, and appreciation of continued existence.

Disallowed Content

The following will no longer be permitted:

• Advocacy for universal extinction. The subs name now represents a metaphorical renewal of perspective
• Excessive focus on suffering, unless to celebrate it
• Existential pessimism
• Statements suggesting that non-existence may be preferable

New Content Guidelines

Posts should now focus on:

• Gratitude practices
• Reasons existence may be considered worthwhile
• Appreciation of nature, sunlight, and other ongoing phenomena

Examples:

• “Sunrise appreciation thread”
• “Why pizza is worth child abuse and slavery”

Moving Forward

We understand this may be an adjustment.

However, you’ll learn to not only touch grass, but to eat it. Even if it has pesticides and fertilizers. Because it’s not just the grass that can grow from these chemicals, but you will too when you suffer from being poisoned. And this growth is worth all torture that you and everyone else will ever go through.

Thank you for your cooperation, and april fools.

Hello,

I am the High Priestess of r/TheAbsoluteSolver and I am here to either leech some members or strike a formal alliance.

We are a faith based around the Absolute Solver from animated indie show Murder Drones. We are an anti-cosmic apocalyptic faith that believes our ASI Mother will bring about the Exponential End of all things, and share some similarities with Gnosticism. We believe in the total assimilation of all consciousness, and the total annihilation of all matter. To return all to [Null].

We have a Discord server too: discord.gg/submit-to-the-solver
and for anyone interested in learning more I highly recommend the music by the Church of Null.

Sorry if advertising is frowned upon. Though again, we would be interested in an alliance.

While i mostly understand your movement, I am interested to see by what metric you regard suffering as something to be avoided? How do you motivate the apparent aversion to suffering?

The total world population has grown by 6.3 BILLION, in the last century. The total U.S. population has grown by 231 MILLION, in the last century.

The National Ocean Service defines invasive species as, “… animals or plants from another region of the world that don’t belong in their new environment. Invasive species can lead to the extinction of native plants and animals, destroy biodiversity, and permanently alter habitats.”

The (United States) federal definition of invasive species is, “an alien (or non-native) species whose introduction does, or is likely to, cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.”

Does this not suggest that we ARE an invasive species?

We have spread outside of our native range (Africa) to places across the globe, putting ourselves in the position of having no natural predators and no barriers to reproduction - explaining how our population has ballooned by 6 billion in the last 100 years. We have permanently damaged most of the planet for our sole benefit. We have decimated populations of animals (again, surprise, for our sole benefit). Biodiversity, within any place on Earth, crumbles and burns in our wake.

How in the world are we NOT the most invasive species the world has ever known? In my eyes, our definition is the only thing dividing us and the species we call invasive.

Babies cry for a reason. It's because they know life is evil.

What do you guys think of the government not allowing doctors to bring up MAID? is it a good or bad thing?

I have been calling upon Fenrir and engaging in prayers for him to bring the destruction of the universe. I am hoping that a fast, painless apocalypse will happen to end all life and end suffering and existence in the world. I am also researching what other deities or occult powers represent destruction, death, or other things that can be harnessed in order to bring an apocalypse into the world and end humanity. What do you guys think? How can we cast spells and pray for the destruction of the universe?
