I'm putting you on my 'People to watch out for' list.

I consider it such an abstract idea that it really doesn't have any bearing on who I am as a person, for instance I don't feel like I could ever have the right or the qualification to decide whether a race or country or even a single person should exist or not, as changing anything like that has consequences and implications in the world and it would almost certainly be misguided.
My idea is that absolute non-existence has no consequences for anyone, unless there's an afterlife which I consider a remote possibility, and so the only judgement to make is whether or not non-existence is 'better' than an existence of suffering for many; that last part is highly subjective but I think that the answer is ultimately yes. The only reason I'm even writing any of this is beacuse of the general tone of the thread anyway.
