I will leave genocide to God. My only contribution will be to pray for the extermination of most of humanity.

There is much good in this world.

Then show me some. I can't find any.

How to change the world, properly. Truth is the proper route to societal improvement -- and that starts with the individual.

Of course, that statement is valid, if understood in a traditional way. I suspect, though, you mean just the opposite.

Well it appears you have been well and truly demoralized. I wish you didn't have an unhappy life and want to share your unhappiness. I'm sorry your life is like this. I hope it gets better.

Are you being sincere? Do you really wish this to a stranger you've never met or are you just being sanctimonious in the usual modern style?

Is remaining in 'the matrix' and believing you're enjoying a steak really preferable to living in reality, no matter how unpleasant?

What does really mean? If you assume nothing is really real (an absurdity/oxymoron), then of course, Cipher's choice is preferable. It seems our guest above has made his choice.

I assume there are levels of reality apprehension, and would prefer to level up as far as possible.

A worthy goal.
