Is Benevolent Artificial Anti-Natalism (BAAN) the final answer to philosophy?

what he doesn't realize is that such a thing will most likely not happen since there is already extreme variation of disgenics at work and the people that will come out of it won't care about such matters, they will not be satisfied unless they destroy everyone that is different than them and that won't be hard considering the superiors have not multiplied. Even the few who set the trap and thought that they will get away and even be able to rule over them will be murdered in most brutal ways as they don't really look different, other than for their own self made identities. It is really interesting when such individuals think that they are such groundbreaking thinkers and even pose for photos looking all dreamy but also act so humble when their intention is clearly not sincere. When someone analyses their philosophy its full of complete misunderstanding that could be corrected with just a bit of research but then it will most likely not sound that interesting for the self-pitying audience. History has shown us that a human civilization ends by self-destruction which also includes surrendering to lesser being. Is it just an another cycle for something greater to happen or just lack of will? Why would such beings want to obliterate themselves when they could be shooting for the stars, why would they prefer comfort(non-existence for BAAN) than to go beyond and see if are wrong about their thoughts? It looks like they have deluded themselves that they have complete understand even if they support subjectivity, the philosopher here is already predicting what an ultimately perfect AI is going to say. But why is suffering so negative for him? In modern times self-caused environmental physical suffering has decreased a lot but it seems that the mental went up. Both have the same effect and can make a person equally disabled so it seems that suffering have never changed. What makes a difference is that now it can be prevented, instead there are only voices of weak leaders who want to end it all, who don't want to strive for greatness anymore, they think that they understand anything and that would be their fall. And what is the most fascinating thing is that they are simply the voice of the future, the obscure thoughts always come to popularity sooner or later finalizing the cycle, the rise and fall of a civilization. Nobody strives to end the cycle as they are not even aware of it. We are living in the most interesting time in the history where the absolute foundation is attacked and the defenders who can mitigate the attack without any effort want to give up and if it is no matter who defeats them the future will be completely unconscious.
TL:DR:He is full of himself and just another generic self defeatist who prefers the easy way.

I like Jonas Bonnier, the Jew whose family owns Bonnier Group, which is Sweden's largest media company (owning the largest publishing house, the largest TV station TV4, several major newspapers, a radio station, various magazines etc).

He is also a novelist. And guess which respected publishing house was responsible for identifying his early talent and helping him by publishing his several books...Bonnier Group!

But not only that, he got there by talent alone, says his Jewish publicist / agent:

>"Salomonsson Agency agent Niclas Salomonsson gave [Bonnier Publishing] three days to read the manuscript without being aware of the writer’s identity, which it only discovered once its bid was accepted."

http://www.thebookseller.com/news/bonnier-pair-bag-bonnier-book-416166

I'm looking for quotes, passages, and books about:

1. evil people who take advantage of a good person after that good person has helped them

2. evil people who take advantage of a good person while that good person is depressed or in a frail state of mind

The Tomb of Charles Baudelaire
by Stéphane Mallarmé
Translated by Henry Weinfield.

The buried temple empties through its bowels,
Sepulchral sewer spewing mud and rubies,
Abominably some idol of Anubis,
Its muzzle all aflame with savage howls.

Or if the recent gas the wick befouls
That bears so many insults, it illumines
In haggard outline an immortal pubis
Flying along the streetlights on its prowls.

What wreaths dried out in cities without prayer
Of night could bless like that which settles down
Vainly against the marble of Baudelaire

In the fluttering veil that girds her absence round,
A tutelary poison, his own Wraith,
We breathe in always though it bring us death.

Genuine opinions regarding Rimbaud's A season in hell? I hold it as a masterpiece, true literary work that eclipses everything written up until Finnegans wake.
>>
>>10009597
here's an excerpt from Rimbaud

True, the new era is nothing if not harsh.

For I can say that I have gained a victory; the gnashing of teeth, the hissing of hellfire, the stinking sighs subside. All my monstrous memories are fading. My last longings depart, – jealousy of beggars, bandits, friends of death, all those that the world passed by. – Damned souls, if I were to take vengeance!

One must be absolutely modern.

Never mind hymns of thanksgiving: hold on to a step once taken. A hard night! Dried blood smokes on my face, and nothing lies behind me but that repulsive little tree!… The battle for the soul is as brutal as the battles of men; but the sight of justice is the pleasure of God alone.

Yet this is the watch by night. Let us all accept new strength, and real tenderness. And at dawn, armed with glowing patience, we will enter the cities of glory.

Why did I talk about a friendly hand! My great advantage is that I can laugh at old love affairs full of falsehood, and stamp with shame such deceitful couples, – I went through women’s Hell over there; – and I will be able now to possess the truth within one body and one soul.

Sylvester, easy on the tweeties
>>
>>10009492
haha look at that Sylvester, he's so fluffy now ahaha imagine him being so inflatable-ly scrumptious all tummy-rounded and bird-eating fattened and then you think to yourself 'haha, why - he could probably eat ME!'

ha, imagine being eaten by Sylvester all swallowed by his tummy cat-like fumes inside and you'd be all stinky in where the sardines decomposed and turned to poop (oops, so naughty of me teehee) but imagine it, Sylvester all swollen and pumped up plump-ly cattish and feline fattened for me to be et by.

Then, being force fed to the kitty's tummy oh-my! hahaha, what a joke it all is isn't? why no one would ever really want to but just imagine having to be eaten by this kitty all round and balloon-y and not bashful at all about how his tummy is so big and empty - (but not for long hehehe)

Wouldn't it be funny to be swallowed by his sweet pink kitty-tongue and then down his suffering succotash throat into his big round balloon-y bellie! oh and what joys would we see there in the big bellie all pleasantly balloonified for us to be eaten up by.

Imagine it, haha, it would be so silly to be inside this tweety eating cartoon critter and then having to be pooped out! Oh as he'd struggle to poof and blurp us out his other side after having been eaten all up yummy yum in his tum and going down down down the kitty until finally out out once again hehehe.

So fat and lovely is our little Sylvester now o it'd be a joy to be his little mealmadeintopoopymistakes hehe just imagine it!
