If human beings were shown what they're really like, they'd either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We'd all like to believe that perhaps people could stop killing each other.
As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.
If you can kill animals, the same attitude can kill human beings. The mentality is the same which exploits nature and which creates wars.
I think dead humans rising from their graves with little to no sense of who they were in their past lives to mindlessly roam the earth consigning others to the same fate would be a bit depressing.
Almost all people have this potential for evil, which would be unleashed only under certain dangerous social circumstances.
We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
The human race is fundamentally insane. If you put two of us into a room together, we're soon gonna start figuring out good reasons to kill one another.
Human beings are a social species. We like to hang together in groups, just like wildebeests, just like lions. Wildebeests don't hang with lions because lions eat wildebeests. Human beings are like that. We do what that group does that we're trying to identify with.
If humanity was still in the feral state, we wouldn't have any need for these huge conurbations that we have now, that have turned us into a different bunch all together. In the feral state we would be much more secure, much more familiar with each other, much more mentally well-balanced.
It's a moral question about whether we have the right to exterminate species.
