It depends upon how quickly I'd be able to kill them, if I could destroy the brain instantly, then maybe I would. Even then though, I'm not sure it would be worth it, that would be something that you'd never be able to forget. I suspect that every time I'd look at that foid, I'd only ever be able to see the deaths of the others whom I killed.

Their lives were put to good use. Like soil made from dead plants and animals nourishing the growth of living plants. Such is the nature of life that loss for many results in gain for few or one.
The truth is that I'd be more likely to say yes to this question if there was no reward, if I could simply end them. I hate the nature of existence, how every moment of happiness is built off of another person's failure, pain, or at the very least, effort. I hate myself for having to partake in it, even if mostly from several degrees of separation away. I especially hate myself for enjoying it on some level. When I was younger I used to have revenge fantasies where I'd mutilate and kill the people who used to bully me. I also used to take my rage out on animals as a young kid, I'd torture and kill frogs, snakes, beat cats, etc, just to make myself feel better. Sometimes I cry when I think about it now, all the while being a hypocrite who eats other life regardless.
I'd erase this planet if I could, and I wish I was never created at all. Everything is so fucked.
