Cure for what? That's a fascist argument. I am not accusing you. Just wanted to inform. I was intellectualizing like that once: if all humans die, life on the planet would thrive, species that go extinct wouldn't be an issue we would only be seeing it as a product of the evolution of more biodiversity for sure...

Yet... A friend pointed out, that such disease is just a theorization and reality has shown that this kind of scenarios are lived in, for example, catastrophes. In those cases, the world ending event hits harder to the most vulnerable. Typically, the poorest fraction. Billionaire and other rich people will have resources, bunkers, time, and so on... They may even be saved.

And this is actually their agenda in, for example, climate change denialism and inaction.

That's one reason why elites don't care about the ecocide.

If the only people left alive were the cruelest, would they thrive? I know it seems unjust but we dont get upset that the dinosaurs once ruled the planet.

Personally, I think peoplle are corruptable. People arent inherently anything but circumstance plays a much bigger role. Essentially the most vulnerable people are just unlucky. Given the right luck they could only mirror the elite, not change their structure.

For the elite to see through the eyes of the homeless they would need to be made homeless and there is no other way.

Saying that people are corruptible doesn’t imply they are corrupt. Thankfully we live finite lives and plenty of us can make it to the end before we corrupt ourselves.

Given the right luck they could only mirror the elite, not change their structure.

This is quite literally pretending the Age of Enlightenment never existed. We can change structures and have throughout history.

I can be swayed but not until I see real results that can be applied in the current landscape.
