I often think about this. Those who have read my posts know about my mood fluctuations. I am in perpetual amazement as to the extent to which the principles I consider core to my character are altered dependent upon whether I’m feeling up or down, it has lead to the belief in me that our moral frameworks and motivations are dictated by factors beyond our control, which is why I often stress of the redundancy of affording blame to individuals for their inconsistent beliefs and moral incentives.
When I am feeling down, I almost lose the ability to feel empathy, and although I wouldn’t go as far as to say I consistently delight in seeing suffering in others, (though I will shamefully concede this is somethings the case) I genuinely know that with the onset of that encroaching malaise, I would be indifferent to the destruction of the planet and everyone on it, and at my lowest am, at times, willing it’s advent on in the same vein as the Jehovah’s witnesses - though without the nonsensensical metaphysical connotation.
Would you destroy the world and everyone in it if you were given the chance?
If yes, please specify bellow whether it is because you want to see specific people (your bullies, ex oneitises etc.) destroyed and are willing to sacrifice yourself for this cause, or whether you just hate the human condition and the cruelty of nature and want to see it wiped from existence. Any other possible motivations are welcome to be posted as well.
