Can omnicide be moral? Anonymous 21/08/18(Wed)18:40 No. 14791 ID: 298de1 [Reply]

Can a total eradication of all life on earth be moral in the same sense euthanasia is?
Life, since its first seconds was all about violence and it got to the point where killing and avoiding being killed became part of our evolution.
During the recent years in the grand scheme of life, humanity started to master that aspect of violence. When you open a history book, its hard to go through 3 pages at best wothout stumbling upon a murder of some kind.
The very ground I walk on probably stores corpses of millions of animals and humans, whose deaths were caused by our ancestors. Even the food I eat was brought to me here because people fought and died for it in the past.
Also, people are growing to be more and more ignorant towards issues that don't affect them. And when it inevitably does affect them, it's already too late. So, what do they do? Just cope and normalize it.
More and more ignorance and more and more bloodshed. In fiction people generally define a grim future as something pretty bombastic. For example, Warhammer 40k. Sure, everyone except ogres and maybe chaos is not having a great time, but there's at least something that ties them all together, and keeps them doing whatever they should do.
In my opinion, humanity, no, LIFE will simply degrade into such a pathetic state that commiting global genocide would be merciful and a deserving death.
There is no such thing as dystopian grim future, only mind numbing downward spiral.
Thinking this way, can omnicide be moral?

Your problem is your mixing a morale dilemma with a subjective opinion. A morale dilemma needs to be presented with a neutral tone in order to merit discussion.

>Thinking this way, can omnicide be moral?
Thinking this way, you may, but using a preordained thought process leads to many atrocities being committed in the name of morale behaviour.

If you were forced to kill your child or another persons child, which one would you choose? If you refuse to choose, you will be tortured for eternity.

The choice you make depends on whether or not you can live with either unfathomable despair (killing you own child) or relentless, depthless hatred (experienced by the person whos child you killed).

Atheist vs Christian Thread.

Atheists are strongly opposed to the supernatural, while Christians recognize the existence of God in their lives.

Reincarnation is a paradox. Imagine: someone is cryogenically frozen and sent off into space in the craft that keeps them cryogenically frozen.

It doesn't matter how much time elapses during this state equivalent to death of being utterly frozen (no brain activity happening, for you are frozen), if you awoke on a new plane as a new living creature, what happens when some extraterrestrial creature finds your previously frozen body and unfreezes you?

As we all know, since time doesn't exist, the universe is experiencing itself separately and autonomously, like the foundation being the universe and the branches from which are individual experiences of the same thing all happening in the same time frame That means, in terms of fundamentals, I am you, you are me, I am her, etc. But the aforementioned example of being unfrozen from an essentially dead state while living a reincarnated other self is impossible. Reincarnation involves the linearity of time and in a universe where time is not a material thing, that would be a road crash in time.

But then the next paradox: If it happened once, why not again?

A more accurate description is to say Russels teapot is made from dark matter (and filled with souls) as it can't be detected by any means and only exists as a claim.

Of course, any scientist worth his salt, doesn't claim dark matter exists to begin with as it only exists in theory.

When someone mentions the soul, they are mentioning a device that has been sort it out between the present and past. Usually the dates are momentary to the construction of 1855-1901. In a way the soul relies in the past through evolutionary construct while the present it involves a certain lost generation dimensions that are usually given in the history of the 20th century with the beginning of the world at war like a tale of Conrad.

Here is a picture of theorized construct sort of like the soul but in the lost generation knowns athe Botlzmann Brain of humanity

Do you think Russel Brand is a Sikh? He says something that sounds like Waheguru. Are spiritual people in general like that, or is he trying to be specific without saying the name.

I want my degree for this.

This is a logical argument if you take all animal references away.

This is a philosophical argument if you climbed to a woman.

THis is a math problem about surrounding a oops as a triangle is enough for goop.

I'm a sikh and no he is not. You can tell it easily because it many ways he explains things he uses I you he she they etc. That's duality. If you are a good member of the panth you make points without saying those things. He knows this.

Im learning about anthropology for my last semester in college and I discovered Pliny basically started the thinking of beast-folk and this lasted about 1,500 years after his death in 79 AD. Thoughts? p.s. I aint no furry.

There are Cherubim and Biblical angels that are anthropomorphic.

Beyond that wouldn't evolution have used this at some point? I feel like it's an easy concept to come to on your own, not very original, not likely "invented" by some opium smoking cock jockey

Bro, the Egyptians had anthropomorphic gods in like 3000 BC.
