I mean the fact that.... think of the suffering in the world. Is the happiness in the world worth that? No fucking way.
In fact I'd say that whoever in the world is experiencing the most torturous pain and suffering right now..... that suffering from that one individual makes the world not worth existing. I don't see how you can add together the isolated consciousness of pleasures and smiles and happiness and laughter to outweigh what that person is experiencing. The morally ideal thing would be to press the stop button on the universe and painlessly end all consciousness.
.... and yet. I am too selfish to choose that even if I could.
