I dunno, you seem to also be able to read and write, something that most people throughout history were unable to achieve.

A more substantial thing to take into account is the accolades these people. Billions dead yet hardly of them brought about the world we live in now in any discernible way. Currently there are billions alive yet only a small fraction of them will propel humanity forward.

It’s going to be really weird when machines start replacing all the people working menial jobs.

Randian Objectivism is usually a stone’s throw from total nihilism.

I’m not exactly one for labels but I believe only the lives of exemplary people truly matter and in general our particular corner of the universe doesn’t matter due to the size of the universe. I haven’t dedicated much time to find a label that expresses my general viewpoints.

If I’m supposed to be Superman in that photo you don’t understand where I’m coming from and you never will.

Yeah, she probably spawned some cretin worse than she.

someone’s wife,

You mean the guy that helped conceive her cretinous, gluttonous, waste-of-space spawn?

someone’s daughter,

Some pile of rotting flesh, who’s more tolerable dead than alive. Actually, two of those.

someone’s neighbour,

Believe me, her neighbors wish she was dead more than Haseo does!

someone’s colleague,

Do all welfare parasites qualify as “colleagues” of each other? Then I’m guessing not a “colleague.”

someone’s friend,

Poor bastard probably wishes he were dead…

someone…

Nope. Nobody.

Oh hey our face tattooed federal judge (lololol) stopped by to be a dick as usual. Big surprise!

I was making a statement about the Randian leanings of Zack Snyder.
You already said that you don’t identify with Snyder’s Superman, and I wasn’t trying to imply that.

My apologies.

This image of Superman is merely an example of the ‘few great men’ who lead humanity into new ages of capitalist prosperity despite the (according to Rand) laziness and common meanness of the vast sea of humanity.

Given all his bouts with Darkseid and other beings of his nature I would say Superman is pretty important on a Cosmic level. The people reaching for him mean nothing when when we’re talking about events of that magnitude.

Nah, if you drink ketchup in public you’re clearly worthless.

His friends choose to be his friend, so that’s on them.

As it pertains to the lives of everyday people? Yes it is. As it pertains to the Universe? Absolutely not.

The Universe is severely overrated.

People are often more than the sum total of the things they have accomplished in their lives.

That doesn’t mean anything if they can’t manifest that into the world in some tangible way.

Does that mean that people who are unable to ‘manifest’ that ‘something’ are not qualified to live? Should the handicapped be exterminated? The elderly? This way of thinking can be dangerous and living in Eastern Europe, I am reminded of a time when a lot of people thought that way. You are certainly entitled to your opinions but I would submit that human life has value even if said human is unable to leave their mark on the world in any significant way.

Thank goodness you don’t have to rely on religion to define your upstanding moral worldview, Lord Haseo. You obviously came to such enlightened conclusions about people all your own.

Nope, just simple observation of the Human condition.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. I just am referencing previous sparring matches we’ve had where you have stated that religion has been a detriment to the morality of humanity. I can’t help but point out that, even with your supposedly morally superior atheistic leanings, that was still a wholly immoral statement you made.

Regardless of your or anyone’s impact on the whole of humanity, the fact of the matter is that we all mean something to somebody. We all have something to contribute, even if on a small scale. 7 billion people doing a little of something useful equals a better world for all of us.

You know, it just occurred to me that they might not have a choice for fear that he would eat them otherwise.

Tell me, who has ever lived on this planet that has ever contributed anything to the Universe? Everything will one day come to an end: humanity, the earth, the planets and stars…all will become lifeless until another Big Bang cycle hopefully produces another set of miniscule planets that manage to develop life. You realize that no human has ever done more than influence other humans who live on this planet. It is that influence that has given humanity meaning. If we are an influence for good, then our lives have been worthwhile. If you cannot believe that, then humanity is nothing more than a biological blip in a virtually 100% lifeless, meaningless universe.

I do not think they should have their lives taken from them but they are unworthy of the life they have been given. I’m haunted at the thought of the thousands of people that could have shaped humanity in inconceivable ways had they been born and billions that actually existed and either squandered their talents to settle for the mundane or were destined for mediocrity due to shitty genes and toxic temperaments/mindsets they couldn’t shake off.

Should the handicapped be exterminated?

If I were in charge I would leave that up to the parents.

The elderly?

No, but I think the elderly people who didn’t save up enough funds to be self-sufficient when they retired should receive no assistance from the Government. You literally have decades to prepare for it and there are many better ways that money can be spent. When I think about this dilemma a kid with cancer trumps the elderly in the end. I can see how you could disagree with me though.

I also don’t believe in food stamps in general.

I hope my previous statement negates that comparison in your mind.

Until Vulcans land on earth, become enamored with sandwiches, and thus begins the spread of of such an important discovery to the rest of the universe, my claim still stands.

Who are you to say this hasn’t already happened?
