re: #350 Cato the Elder

If the truth of the physical world is that what we all do and how we all live is going to kill us or our children, can’t you understand how some people would be unable to face that fact and retreat into denial?

I’m just asking for you to apply your psychological acuity to the fact of denial and have a little sympathy for people who can’t face doomsday and their own potential role in it. Pity the poor naked apes.

Then I am asking you to acknowledge that my goal is to save their lives so that they can continue being pitiable.

Also, no, I have no pity at all for people who know they are doing wrong, and not in the minor way, but in big major ways that cause grievous harm, but honestly rationalize that their materialism is more important than human lives.

In short, I have no pity for evil.
