Elon wants to prolong consciousness as long as possible. I’m with Elon. He’s probably smarter than you.

Feel free to die off with the rest of the nihilists. But don’t prevent other humans from trying to advance humanity. Or at least providing for a Plan B should we encounter an existential threat to this planet. It’s logical for people to have backups.

Oh and the “earth must be a perfect Utopia before people can try cool shite” can frick right off. You are the problem.
