This Is Why You're All Wrong

1. The only legitimate way to truly render all life on Earth extinct would be to either literally blow it up, or move it a little more closer or farther away from the sun. Otherwise, the earth, being a Goldilocks planet, will just do as it always has throughout the last 5 billion years of its existence, after each of the 6 global catastrophes that led to the vast majority of life on Earth extinct, only for it to inevitability be reborn again however many millions of years later. Ever hear of a Tardigrade? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade

2. How would we know if it was successful? If hypothetically we gained the technology however many years from now to "guarantee" that all life, including tardigrades, would be extinct. How would we know for an absolute fact it worked? We'd all be dead. Wouldn't we be duping ourselves into believing that of course all life will be extinguished? Without knowing for a fact if the outcome we sought is the one that happened? Sounds like a whole lot of blind faith to me, and a gamble the vast majority wouldn't be willing to take for obvious reasons. And we haven't even mentioned all the suffering that would still be going on all throughout the universe on all the other countless planets than can harbor life and sustain a conscious capable species like humans.

3. Considering both the fact that the technology is so far beyond our reach, and we wouldn't know the outcome for a fact, wouldn't we be setting the earth up to just make yet another conscious capable species to just go about the same development as we did? Therefore, increasing the amount of suffering in the process of trying to decrease it?

The only path to a future where suffering truly no longer exists is via what I like to call the "pillars to peace." The knowledge of why it's so important or the value of it therefore, and the logic and philosophy of our knowledge of morality being diffused throughout the world, one day becoming common knowledge to all, like how we seemed to have collectively agreed that murder is a bad thing and we should strive for there to be less of it for example. The second pillar being action, organizing ourselves more so around this knowledge, leading us into collectively participating in it. The same way racists become racists or why we even bother considering to open the door for a stranger at a gas station: we are what we've been surrounded with; we're all products of our contemporaries.
