We have heard your concerns. Rest assured, a pack of wild crocodiles will be available for delivery if you wish. Although I must say it is weird to wish for natural predators to be released in one's own home.
Oh what’s that? Ah, you don’t want the natural predators in your home? You are just wishing that other people be eaten? It’s funny how everyone is always willing to sacrifice humans. As long as the humans being sacrificed are not they themselves.

- avgcorrection 3y agoI think you make a mistake if you assume that misanthropy is necessarily about all other humans except oneself. Of course no one wants to be “dealt with” personally. And it in any case is a completely hypothetical position to take, except for those kooks that either believe in the coming AI Takeover or extraterrestrial invaders.
- hughw 3y agoIt's possible for there to be far fewer humans without needing to kill anyone. So depopulation can be an ethical strategy, except that you'd need to influence human reproduction.
- makeitdouble 3y agoWe can take a larger view: competition is usually good and helps balance environments. There doesn't need to be a bloodbath, only a reasonable threat that requires humans to behave in a way they wouldn't otherwise (another comment points out that greed is an awfully powerful motive, I'd argue fear would be a good control mechanism). Earth becoming inhabitable doesn't seem to do it. God figures won't do it. Godzilla won't do it. Hope we lend on something that doesn't need human sacrifices first.
