Better off? Maybe. Probably. Murder or erasure? No.

Lets be a bit careful about putting words into other people's mouth or implying things. I intentionally phrased it that way, that it would have been nice to have avoided the current status in the first place.

I don't subscribe to the believe that more living humans equals better for the universe or even for the planet. Certainly not for the planet or other living beings on our planet.

I said murder through erasure, and I stand by that accurately describing what you wrote.

You are saying that the moral value of many/most human beings is a net negative. I don't know if you don't see, or if you choose to ignore the repugnant conclusions which must necessarily derive from this viewpoint.

It is funny how you try to doctor your "erasure" thingy into what I wrote. It still doesn't fit.

If for you the only possible conclusion is, that we have to fix it after the fact by applying some erasure, then that conclusion is on you, not on me. I find the conclusion from "net negative" -> "must erase now!" premature at best. To imply or state, that I voted for any "erasure" is plain wrong.

I personally would rather go about it like this: "Shit happened. We were collectively very stupid. What can we do now, so that in the future we don't make it any worse?"
