[ well there's just a bitter laugh at that ]

You have no idea of what you're talking about. You think the end of the world is preferable out of principle? I've lived it.

And I can tell you there's absolutely no progress to be made after that.

I'd understand if you simply said you're not hot on murdering people or just undoing their existence, but saying that things need to stay as they are because that's how they're meant to be is ridiculous.

How can you even think that? If you have the power to change something then you should.
