That works too

but you are a human, and the human race is just a compound group of humans, so you are basically saying that humans matter so humanity matters so therefore I don't matter.

human individuals matter

therefore i matter

In reality, if the Earth was to suddenly blow up, the universe would move on.

Why does it have to be an either/or thing?

The human race is the perfect race, and we can not slay the filthy xenos until we get our own little mud ball under control

Jayred put that better than revolver ocelot did.

I'm just being objective and realistic on a smaller scale that I can influence

We could be out there expanding humanity yo diffrent worlds no joke we could

ofc i did, i'm the one arguing for the rationale here

We could have a colony on mars if we didnt endlessly fight each other

The miricles we humans can do when were not holding each other back over such petty things like race and religon

also Tim, i'm so sorry for giving you like a 5000 message Newsroom here 😛

We turned a world that was mostly plants to one of stone and electricity and knwoeldge.

i'm gonna go to bed, you all have fun with your american time

cheerios

Why the FUCK cant we get a simple thing like this settled?

I am human. I am part of the human race. More humans matter than one human. If given an ultimatum where one human has to die, or all have to die, and I have ten seconds to decide, I choose the rest of the humans to live.

and if we keep having whole groups of people rely on one person or one thing, like welfare; we aren't going to get to colonize Marz

Compared to curing cancer compared to the other miricles of humanity

Welfare is nothing.

Not that it would be an easy choice

I know i know >.>

We can't get to the stars if our foundation is crumbling at our feet.

I agree, curing cancer and such would be better, and a lot of the money that gets needlessly dumped into welfare could go towards that.

And I'd hate it. But I'd realize that the human race was so much more important than that one human.

i just...sometimes feel like screaming at humanity as a whole we have such power but we never use it

Individual lives _are_ important.

We already cured one kind of cancer

But not at the cost of others.

Of the majority of others.

two technically if you consider the hpv vacine a cure

Well, one is more important than the other.

I'm not saying not to help anyone, I'm all for helping someoen who has had a horrid accident at work which has left them unable to work, I'm not for helping some lazy idiot who would rather claim he can't work and just suck me dry of my tax money.

Generational welfare exists

the HPV thing is not really so much a cure as it is just a test to see how far it is

people whom have fathers and grandefathers whom never finished school whom never worked

and have dozens of children

I never said that selfishness was about sacrificing others for yourself
