Does humanity deserve to live?

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

Have you guys ever considered that maybe there is an alien being perusing the internet to look for reasons to obliterate the human race and that this thread might be giving them just the justification to do just that?

[Madner Kami]

No, this has never occured to me. I've made sure this doesn't happen again.

Alien spacer: They have massive inequality, starvation, and homelessness that they could easily fix but choose not to. They have never not been fighting each other.
Alien commander: Meh.
Alien spacer: Some random humans on an internet forum are wondering if they're bad people.
Alien commander: Oh no! Kill it with fire!

For a speculative fiction geek your imagination for coming to such a resolution is surprisingly lacking.

Oh I have basically zero creative imagination myself. No dispute there. On the Artist vs. Technician scale I'm the roadie setting up speakers. I just found this idea amusing so I shared it.

Actually come to think of it that concept would make a decent Twilight Zone episode. It's like a half rip-off of "A Small Talent For War" already.

So you're more of a Neelix or Eecheb?

The bad news: No.
The good news: It won't.

Thanks for proving my point. You're just a bully telling somebody to go off themselves. Well, I can't do that. But it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't wake up one day. Sincerely. Not trying to get attention, I really do feel that. But it is what it is.

Excuse me? You're saying we deserve to all be dead. You can forgive the guy for not being very well disposed to that.

I think the better question is why the hell is this such an increasingly obsessive idea to people that existed only in a handful before the modern era? I'd say it reveals the hallowed out foundations of our civilization and why the base of our great tower is starting to crack before it crumbles. We destroyed so much meaning and so many can only see contempt at us continuing to go on.

But those that refuse that outlook will endure. It's just a shame so many won't.
