To Martian: My final comment about you encouraging wasn't about blame (I accept my philosophical beliefs as being of my own choosing, not a decision forced upon me by others), it was meant to be ironic, and yet illustrate that while I dislike most aspects of humanity, our emotions are most irritating (more irony. yay.)
I'm not sure how I come accross as an elitist (or did I just prove your point?). Have you read any of Schopenhauer's stuff? I share some of his views, the most pertinent to this discussion being antinatalism. As an objective observer I disdain my specie and would like to see it gradually go extinct, but as a human being with emotions, I personally see suicide as a coward's way out, and as an unnatural end (this sorta keeps in line with my wish that humans die out gradually, not in a nuclear holocaust or biblical rapture). I know it can be hard to find one post in a topic with many, so feel free to PM me.
