But, once I’m dead I don’t really care if everyone else dies 5 minutes later, do I? I’m dead and I have no way to know what happens after that point. Nothing that happens after I die has any affect on me.
- jolux 6y agoI think a lot of people would care if everyone they loved died five minutes after they did. Seems like a worst case scenario in fact.
- irrational 6y agoBad wording. I should’ve said 50 years or some longer time period. The point is I no longer exist so anything that happens can’t matter to me.
- kjs3 6y agoMy child will hopefully outlive me by several decades. My grand kids certainly could live more that 50 years beyond that. I may never know my great-grandkids, but kinda hope they won't get snuffed out arbitrarily. But fundamentally I don't think "after X years, screw humanity" is something I'll buy into.
- pojzon 6y agoThis is the exact way of thinking that makes this world the shithole it was and still is. It’s painful to watch but I don’t expect 8billion ppl to sudenly stop being so egoistic. The world as we know it is doomed to fail, so gonna enjoy the ride while I still can.
- krcz 6y agoYou don't care after, but you do care before you die if you know that's about to happen.
- irrational 6y agoMaybe instead of 5 minutes I should’ve said 50 years. The point is, I don’t exist so I can’t care about life, the universe, or anything.
- kjs3 6y agoMany of us with children, family and, you know, friends care very much that life goes on after we die, regardless of our role in it.
