As my wise auntie says,”You can’t see clearly through the bottom of a pint glass.”
Are you not drunk on energy? Warm or cool at will, well fed and clothed, able to travel and communicate?
There’s no collecting if you bet on the apocalypse.

That's just not true. Misery and suffering is it's own reward, to some. This is arguably the main point of Orwell's 1984, when O'Brien explains to Winston Smith why they bother torturing people before killing them. O'Brien says that to knowingly cause suffering in someone is the ultimate expression of power, and it is axiomatic to him that power is good in-and-of-itself.
