Utopia or the big red button, those are the only two moral options

This world is a hellscape for most sentient beings, Darwinian life is evil. Suffering is guaranteed when you transition into life (without your consent) from the peaceful void of non-existence. How much a living being suffers depends on luck. If they are born with the right genetics at the right time in the right place, then their suffering will be less. But right now there are millions upon millions of sentient creatures being eaten alive, starving, suffering from disease, poisoned by chemicals and struggling in many other ways every single day. What is the solution? I think there are basically two ways to solve this problem. Plan A and plan B. Plan A would be easier to sell to the human masses. It would involve creating a utopia where the goal would be to gradually remove all suffering from every sentient being. We could make a world that guarantees pleasure and happiness rather than suffering. A world where there are no losers, whereas now most living creatures are losers and relati

Many must suffer for the few to prosper

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh claimed an exclusive connection to the gods, leading people to serve him, either willingly or as slaves. The majestic pyramids of Giza were constructed to glorify the pharaohs, with an estimated 10,000 slaves dedicating their lives to these grand monuments. Today, echoes of this disparity persist. For every wealthy business mogul, there are countless individuals toiling away as "wageslaves" in unfulfilling jobs, struggling to make ends meet. The wealth amassed often finds its way into the pockets of the privileged owning class, further widening the wealth gap. While rewarding talent and hard work is essential, it is evident that the current system falls short. Many hardworking individuals, working in factories, as cashiers or as cleaners for example, still struggle to afford basic necessities and housing. The plight of workers living paycheck to paycheck stands in stark contrast to the astronomical earnings of billionaires, who make more in hours
