In requiem, mass destruction

[chocosyrup]

If you had the choice, would you take the rest of humanity with you when you die?
Many people choose to go (or, partially) because of their disillusionment with humanity, because of their dislike or even hatred of the world around them, which I'm sure is not an uncommon opinion here. I included disfavour humanity and it's actions and what we have done, and I know a couple other people who share this opinion.

It would be interesting to see actually how many people would (if they could) end humanity with their death?

I wouldn't, the only thing I care about is stopping being this lonely. I don't care about them. Just want to die.

I only want to end my suffering and my pain! What others do with their lives is not my concern. It would be unethical for me to cause death and harm to others during my process of ending my life. I believe everyone has their right to life or death and I'm in no position to make that decision for anyone else besides myself.

No, I don't know enough about the nature of reality as to whether that would be a good thing. Not that I'm particularly religious or spiritual. It's more that I simply don't know. So, I couldn't make such a decision without understanding certain things for sure. Such as- where does consciousness come from? Does it absolutely end when we die? What are the consequences of ending all human life at once? Are there any?

As for extinction- voluntarily via antinatilism or non voluntarily- eg. a much more lethal pandemic, alien invasion, a take over by AI. That's different. That's not up to me and yes- I think this planet would be far better off without us!

I don't see a reality in which I ever would or could. My suffering is my own. Many people here like to talk about the freedom of choice, the right to die. I agree we should all have that right. But that, too, means we should have the right to live. There is no one alive who should have the unilateral right to decide; there is no one alive who knows nor understands enough to be able to make that decision. Live and let live, die and let die.

Don't want that kind of responsibility lol
