There are billions of people who live in this world, 60 are born every second and 50 die every second. Thousands die everyday yet people continue on with their lives without even a single blink or a thought.

People claim that human life is sacred but live contrary to those ideals. People waste food when millions are starving, create pollution that damage the living areas of other people, start wars to for self gain, etc.

From what I see this ideal is a farce it is propaganda that conditions you to accept the laws created by society and civilization. It makes you feel like you have importance and significance, which makes you more willing to serve society and its people.

Human life is anything but sacred, you die, there will be other people to replace you. You are just a number. EVE is what i see as a perfect reflection of human nature.

People kill, steal, cheat, and lie to get ahead. I too myself have done the same thing.

Human life is no different from any other animal's life. Humans are arrogant, they don't want to admit they are the same as animals.

The majority of human are week and meek, they create ideals and rules that comfort them. The ideal that human life is sacred gives them protection by creation of laws. Anything to prevent those superior from replacing them.

As a result humanity has become weak, the weak survive and breed more weak people. It is the cause of many problems in this work, famine, disease, war, etc are a result of weak perpetuating.

Order is comfort for the Weak. The Weak deserve only comfort in Death.

Too black and white. People are conditioned to follow an orderly society but in a more free society you can question the will of the few. Look how much changes and how different things are from 100 years before.

Their is more then enough food to feed the entire world 5 times over and the reason people starve is warlordism and hoarding in third world nations as well as a lack of basic infrastructure. We can't just teleport the food to a small off the map village in the middle of nowhere with no roads or vehicles to get it there. Very, very few people starve in a society of plenty and often the barrier is not the lack of will to feed the impoverished but that they do not know where to go to get the help. Mental illness plays a big part of that as well as depression.

As for the environment have you seen the humongous amount of work Eco campaigns do. Our society just didn't start producing pollution yesterday The industrial era jumped in before we knew the risk. It takes as much time to undue all that has been built as it does to build it and it is hugely expensive to do so. The services provided by industry are what got us out of the middle ages and we need to figure out how to make them clean, not give up on them We don't even have all the technology and some times when we do can not just afford to implement it immediately. It needs to happen in steps or when we can produce the technology cheaper.


Is Einstein just a number? Hawking? Fleming? Bell? Edison? Ford?

You can not accurately gauge potential. Anyone can impact the world and we move forward on these ground breaking discoveries in leaps and bounds.

No humans are not arrogant for trying to be above the idea of value in life we are visionaries for it. What other creature has accomplished what we have. No life is not at too high a value right now but that doesn't mean we should stop it means we should push forward educating and expanding. We need to confront the boundaries nature puts up and conquer them.


America at the beginning of World War II was not on list of the 10 most powerful militaries by the end they topped it. That is what the weak and meek can do, rise.

Order is not the comfort of the weak it is the breeding ground for the strong, allows education, innovation and technology to grow. It festers the will to fight for what you have.

What your the strong survive idea gets you central Africa where they are to busy hacking each other up with Machetes to grow power.

As the value of Human Life raises so does society, when it lowers that is when people are weak.

Also in high school I was a little 120lb nerd, then I joined the Marines! Then I was a 125lb nerd that was dangerous

Everyone in boot camp loses like 50lbs, I gained 5

Human life is sacred as long as it furthers your own interests or those of the ones you care about, and when it does not, who cares, you can always find some excuse as to why some lives are not that sacred.

Welcome to Salusa Secundus, where the strong survive instead of the weak. Have a nice day.

I think all life which has achieved consciousness or autonomy is "sacred" or whatever you want to call it. Life is a "miraculous", rare and fleeting part of the universe and can only exist for short periods of time.

Not valuing any individual's life and not valuing human life in general are two different things.

OP thinks he is the super nerd from Chronicle

"I am an Apex Predator. Does the lion feel bad killing the gazelle? Do people feel remorse when they kill a fly?"

You are not an apex predator, you are an unemployed teenager drinking mountain dew and eating twinkies in your mothers basement

Maybe he was in the military? After all, they train killers there and send them off to murder people to further someone else interests, and somehow that is a "noble" profession.
