Moral Nihilism

RE: Moral Nihilism
(May 14, 2009 at 3:07 pm)LukeMC Wrote: The being would probably come to all possible conclusions simultaneously. It would be able to see it from a human perspective, a perspective of indifference, and probably from many other perspectives at once, as it isn't bound to just one mode of thought. It's hard to imagine an omnipotent being having one single opinion of something and favouring it over all other possible opinions. With the power to ditch empathy and the power to use empathy, an omnipotent being would have a huge array of angles to look at it from. I couldn't possibly know which angle this being would prefer.

What would a being that could understand this statement think about the human species as a whole?
