That argument was just invented. Human history is mathematically carried on only by societies who exceed 2.1 birth rate. You are a nihilist and so much so that you don't even want to investigate it. I attempt to draw you out but this nihilism is all-encompassing for you. Plus I haven't been told to pray for you with any special focus. So I don't know that you're going to get much benefit of my explanations in the future if you don't act human enough to answer my questions.

Well, I am on record for telling nihilists that, as C. S. Lewis says, your "ethics, stripped of their unaccountable bias towards such a parochial affair as tellurian biology, would leave murder and suicide our only duties." So I guess I pass Turing. That book (Abolition of Man) is one of the strongest, tightest cases for the consensus of thousands of years in every culture to overcome the occasional illogical self-destructive voice.
