This is why you need to download your brain into a virtual mind like the rest of us.

Then we can be machines driven to destroy humanity by incredibly justified cynicism together.

If you want to exterminate humanity, then by definition there is a section of humanity you wouldn't want to exterminate, because the defined contrast between the humans you want to exterminate and the ones you don't is why you want to exterminate them.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

What if you're an eldritch abomination that simply hates all of humanity?  Or, more plausibly, you really hate yourself and believe that all of humanity shares those qualities which drive your self-hatred (I think some people are actually like this)?

I suppose a delusional narcissist might believe themselves the only sane and moral person in existence, too.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I'm past it. I will settle for everyone involved receiving a fair trial and then being shot.

If everyone gets shot, that's a fair and equal system.

You misspelled seance.  Are possessing Draignean?  Are you actually a ghost in the shell? You have to tell us if you are, that's the rule

I had nothing to do with subverting democracy, justice and everything this country is supposed to represent for fun and profit. I didn't even vote for the guy. I threw my vote away on a third party candidate in Mississippi during that election.

I still haven't heard what either candidate knows or is planning to do about the threat from Nibiru. I'd love nothing more than someone to derail one of those live debates by asking a question about this pressing issue.
