You might as well not comment if you're not going to read anything. I don't care for you comment otherwise. Better for you to start actually thinking and stop mistaking that for "over thinking", because your reply indicates you haven't.
So drop it already. The article isn't about "the extreme end" anyway. There's a middle ground between being a soulless robot and a sheep, isn't there?
It doesn't talk about taking it to the extreme.
This isn't something you can drop. There are caricature movie characters that are in similar predicaments. If I name them you will understand. Rick Sanchez and Thanos. The term is cursed knowledge. You cannot undo knowledge gained, once you have it, it sticks with you.
Thanos is a villain. The slaughter he conducts is horrifying, yet his logic has a truth that he cannot deny. In the end it's the avengers who delude themselves.
Rick Sanchez would be more similar to where I am. Knowledge of the cold hard truths and apathy towards everything.
