I dislike the human race as a whole. I would prefer we all died out. So I'm with you on that point at least.
Do you care about (other) animals?
Edit: This raises one of the most difficult questions about morality I could think of, from my perspective. It's a ludicrous scenario, but interesting anyway.
If I had a one time opportunity to wipe out the whole of the human race, perhaps to rewind time to before things evolved in our direction and somehow ensuring nothing with our destructive power would evolve again... should I do it? I understand most people would wonder why I would even consider it. I get that. I'm not normal in this regard. I'm viewing things from the point of view of the wellbeing of all life on Earth and its future.
If I alter this so that the human race is about to get rewound as above, and I have a one time opportunity to stop it happening and make things continue as normal, is this an equivalent question, or not?
