1. I wouldn't be so quick to jump to these kinds of conclusions in this day and age.

No, just unaffected by morality or bias.
Hah, there are far more subtle things which shape your ego, let alone actual upbringing by society.
There is always a bias, whatever your views are. I could argue that your stubborn impartiality is a result of a bias which was developed in you through some bitter experiences or lack of connection to any one thing. Much like a rock. Although i wouldn't call rocks biased, since they have no ability to analyze their surroundings.
All of which have no effect on the universe as a whole. Human thought is of no consequence.
Sure they do, your mom and dad are a part of "the whole" universe. What effect do you have in mind, exactly? If we could make starts explode, is that enough of an effect? How about stopping expansion of galaxies?
Perfection is relative- therefore it does not exist. Upon further thought I realize that utopia is unachieveable. Utopia is a human construct, and embodies perfection. But without the human mind, perfection cannot exist. However, a world would no human life would have no problems, because problems are, again, a mental construct.
I imagine the whole quest for utopia is fueled by one thing only, and that is longing for happiness. Universal happiness of all people. Wiping them all out sort of defeats the purpose.
