(Responding to Hal):
I'm sorry that your life has no goal or purpose, Frish.
Hal, sorry if I wasn't clear. LIFE has no purpose, it is simply chemistry. My life? As all humans, I continuously find purpose, or I wouldn't go on.
No wonder that you don't care much about it.
You misunderstand. I care greatly about life, and therefore am concerned it won't last much longer if humanity continues to "rule".
On the other hand, I believe my life does have a purpose and there are definitely goals that I want to accomplish, so I am not so cavalier about giving up the ghost.
Who is cavalier? No heroic measure, no unnecessary procedures, no unnatural prolongation of misery, etc. I never said I didn't have purpose or goals, only that life has no purpose.
It seems, therefore, that your interest in VHEMT is more because of your belief that your life is useless that any altruistic concern for all the other species that humanity supposedly mistreats. If you changed your view of your life, you may change your view on VHEMT.
Well, it seems, since you have so many mis-assumptions, that you cannot possibly know what I think.
In any case, I thought the motto of VHEMT was "Live long and die out." If so, then how can you oppose means to lengthen life?
Because some of those attempts to "lengthen life" are more damaging to the environment than the benefits they provide!
As long as you don't reproduce, what's the problem?
Forever, I've got a vasectomy, no problem!
But then again, if you think your life is worthless, then I agree, why bother?
Who said I thought my life was worthless? Many love me Hal.
