If you can't beat them, join them. My current thinking is that the only way to make the world better is by helping to make it worse; things will not improve until there is total collapse so make it happen faster.

"Let us do evil that good may result"? No thanks.

And if you understood what total collapse will mean - the incredible human cost of it - you would not propose it even as a constructive step.

It's a cost I'm willing to accept... So long as that human is not me ;p
