Since I was a very young child (like 6 or 7, maybe 8), I have the idea that our existence has no sense, maybe because all the bad things that people do (in the country I live in the violence, war and corruption in all their forms have been present for decades). So I have always thought that all the humankind must be killed or destroyed. Even my family and the people I love? Yes. Even (specially) me. Then all these bad things that come with the human nature would dissapear forever and the world would be a better place.
Am I crazy for thinking like that? I guess. Am I a bad person? Maybe.

I think its super coincidence, that we meet each other. This the first time i meet people , with the same thought as i am. Mankind for me need to disapear like poof, as a smoke
I can’t stand the human race, but I don’t think I’m qualified to decide it shouldn’t exist. Not that it would change anything, one way or the other. But we’re the product of millions of years of evolution, trillions of creatures living and dying and changing to turn us into what we are now. I mean, so are slugs, but maybe we shouldn’t be so hard on slimy creatures.
I understand what you say. In terms of evolución we are in the same situation as many other creatures, like slugs. But something different here is the fact that in the natural world there is no good or evil, only survival. On the other hand, the increasing of the ‘understanding’ that comes with human ‘intelligence’ has gotten over the top of survival and all their knowledge has eventually become some kind of selfishness, which has made us improve our lifestyle (the good side) but at cost of the equilibrium in the world (the bad side). Moreover, things like poverty, corruption and war are almost universal and parte of the human condition itself. You will never find another species capables of such horrible things.
I agree with you in the fact that none of us is morally qualified for making a choice like erasing the human race, in the case that it was possible. I guess it makes it an even harder topic to discuss.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, and sorry for the bad english.
