>> 60

i don't mean this as a personal attack, but i think what it comes down to is that you can't comprehend the difference between 30 million and 6 billion. i feel that i can, and i do so by the same method dmpk2k uses, orders of magnitude.

stalin's 30 million murdered is 5 times as bad as hitler's evil against the jews. that makes sense to me. i can feel that. maybe it's just because i'm a jew and a russian. but i know you and i share something in common: we're both human. how can you not feel that? think about the death of everyone you know, and the end of human science, art, and experience. isn't that the least preferable thing imaginable? isn't it less preferable than simply your own death, or even the death of your loved ones?

i think there are only two arguments against this: either a.) you simply can't imagine it or b.) you are a selfist, and see no value in existence after your own death.
