I think underwater would be cooler.

AS long as we get half-naked women and weird-looking robots, I'd be fine with that.

I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

They are not morally equivalent to Heaven's Gate. In fact, choosing not to have children is one of the most environmentally conscious choices you can make. I don't have children and don't expect to. It's a small way I contribute to environmental sustainability. In action, I'm doing the same thing as the VHEMT, just not with the same end goal in mind. The closer they get to success, the less incentive there is to finish the job. I'm not worried about the VHEMT succeeding, and in the meantime, our goals are in alignment. In conclusion, maybe they're nuts, but it's their nuts.

In any case, just "giving up" is insanity on parade, and to be sure, many human beings will refuse to do so. Question is if the VHEMT folks gain real power and our World is faced with a Second Holocaust that is even worse than the First. VHEMT could easily morph into a new neo-Nazi movement and the Third Reich could turn into the Fourth. Given the fascist elements in Society, we could endup denying this nightmare only until we are overcome and consumed by it. They'd have to take the 'V' out of their acronym, I reckon.

But that was objectively funny.

Well, at least I'll settle for the weird-looking giant robots
