Nobody asked you whether you were 'interested'

You wouldn't be able to turn down a war with artilects in the way that you would be able to turn down a door-to-door Bible salesman.

At the age of 20 you probably will enjoy seeing some of the nasty marvels you contemplate while you die of some kind of cancer or other. At 82 I will be long gone.

That's a pity.

I'm keeping myself in excellent health so that I can hopefully live to see that war

Look, we are killing humanity because it deserves to die, not to have fun.

Why not both?

Since we all die, I suppose we all deserve to die because our machinery gets weird after a while. But do we all deserve to die miserably? And do we all deserve to die en masse? Isn't that carrying togetherness a bit far? Why not devise, instead of an atomic blast, a dope bomb so we all die happy and high? That would give excellent incentive to dying. I know AIDS is a rough attempt in that direction since it kills through the enjoyment of sex but it is much too slow. If we could only work out a means of exploding violently at the point of orgasm it would be a terrific experience. And a great contraceptive.

That's not the point of punishment.

And besides, even a nuclear war wouldn't kill everyone at once.

In the long winter that would follow, I imagine bands of hunter units would roam here and there on the backs of synthetic wolves well adapted for running over snow and ice, searching for holdouts with the aid of autonomous aircraft and satellites, and then destroying them.

Kind of like this but way cooler:

I'm pretty sure the sensor package is on the side that doesn't have the heavy pack.

Still looks like it's pointing its rear end at the camera.

Still somewhat crude, but you can see that it maintains balance when kicked, climbs an irregular pile of cinder blocks, can hurdle large obstacles, etc.

well, if you turn down a JW, you are welcoming your own fate and will perish.

Ahh.

Self loathing. That's it in a nut shell really.

So tell me; just how exemplary is it for you to condemn the rest of humanity and the rest of life as we know it to a fiery death because of your self-esteem issues? Wouldn't that mean (if you truly believe much of what you have written here) that almost by definition you manifest some of the very worst in the collective us?

Your projection is appalling. Just because you are so filled with rage at your perceived inadequacies in the rest of the human race (I suspect based on your own narcissistic evaluation of us compared to you), doesn't mean that it is truth. You are biased, your evaluation of our worthiness is flawed.
