Really hate that about history .... anyone of any benefit to society dies too soon ... anyone that is detrimental to everyone, gets to live a nice long life

narcissists get obsessed with their own health

To be fair, when people that would otherwise have cause a detriment die before they can do so, one doesnt tend to notice them at all

You can also die after you have proven that you're detrimental on a massive scale. e.g. there was a string of assassination attempts on Hitler that intensified towards the end of WW2. No one would have forgotten about Hitler if he had been assassinated in 1943.

And that’s why I always say that biggest hero in WWII was the guy who killed Hitler.

He might even deserve a statue? It would be especially compelling if it showed him in the act of killing Hitler, as brutal as that might be.

Put it on the white house lawn as a reminder of what eventually comes to fascists

Honestly the only way to ensure nothing bad is ever caused by a human, we need to eradicate the species.

hm, don't let this guy in charge please

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 1 points 5 hours ago

I mean, I'm being completely serious, the human species is the worst thing to happen to every species currently living, including humanity.

Unfortunately all the people who want to coexist in balance with nature would get caught up too, but they might have children who decide to ruin things again and the cycle continues.

Indeed, it's a good thing I am not in charge of the planet.

Int and Agi should be at least 2 each tho.

Perhaps 1 Chr is also a bit high…

That does sound like something Ira Glass would say.
