It wouldn't be so bad because there'd be nobody left to feel sorry about it.

Of all the ways for humanity to go out, that would be one of the cooler, not with a whimper but with bang! :)

think about how much tragic suffering occurs every day on this planet. think about how much lies behind and ahead of us. it's unfortunate every moment that humanity isn't wiped out.

Think about how much transcendent joy occurs every day on this planet. Think about how much beauty there is, how much to see, how much to experience. Every single moment is incredible, a (for lack of a better word) miracle defying the odds that we arose, gained intelligence, and lived long enough to think about it.

It's all a matter of perspective. (and no, I didn't downvote you)

this is a selfish appeal. think about how much profound suffering occurs every day on this planet. now consider that people who do not exist clearly cannot be bothered by not existing.
