So as far as i understand, to you the only perspective which seems reasonable is one of total inert apathy to everything. Why?
I happen to root for our civilization. Why not?
Those 2 people from OP i consider harmful to said civilization, albeit on small scale.
It's clear in my first post here that I don't care about the killing, but the reasoning behind it and the societal consequences. And yes, I am aware that I as a being am a product of society, but I don't think like mainstream society does, in terms of right and wrong.
And that somehow makes your perspective more reasonable?
Note that not only is your informational make-up due to society, but your biological one as well.
I don't empathize with people, and I don't care about my relationships with other people. Whether or not I was alone in the vastness of the universe, I accept my life for what it is, which is to say, nothing.
All is relative. Your life may be nothing to the rocks, gasses and vacuum we float in, but not to your relatives or (potentially) your society. And of course, your mother and father and your society is part of the universe, so it's not so indifferent after all.
Also, I have stated in other threads that a utopia is one with no human life. When I stated my views in the Politique discussion, it was my ideal vision of a utopia WITH people.
Even the term utopia is relative.
But i wonder why you consider a barren wasteland a perfect state. Are humans antithetical to perfection (whatever that is) in your eyes?
Talk about antisocial.
