VHEMT site review

“May we live long and die out”

Design: 5 out of 5 for eye-pleasing undesign 90s look&feel

Technical: 4 out of 5 for smooth work without scripting, cookies and third-party stuff. Still 4 due to presence of analytics, external cookies and lack of encryption.

Content: 5 out of 5 for completely serious and still humorous tackling of such an important matter (of course such rating does not automatically mean i endorse everything written there)

Metascore: gold

Commentary

This is truly a golden page of internets, but apart from tons of lulz (even if bitter or spiteful for some) it brings to the reader, to me it also implies a question: is it right to do the right thing for the wrong cause?

Also, yet another incentive to finally draw that comic i’ve been meaning to draw for a few weeks now.

Also, yet another fun example of consequentialist woes (i don’t imply that many supporters have such woes (although they might), but many in opposition certainly do).

And yeah, finally i found (albeit accidentally, i promise!) someone else who found the only true solution to “repugnant conclusion”. Even if not necessarily for a good reason. But i suppose it’s a good starting point for further research.

Wait, did you expect me to write a review about it? That’s not how things are done here.

Quotes

If i still haven’t convinced you that seriously checking out that site is worth your time, here are some quotes to spark your interest:

  • “Beware of dogmas. We speak with our own voices.”

  • “We can achieve more by promoting generosity, awareness, and freedom than we can by vainly kicking at a buttless foe.”

  • “The above could be called the Terrorist Human Extermination Movement (THEM), but that’s labeling and encourages a “Them or Us” attitude.”

  • “We ingest so much poison that meat from our bones wouldn’t meet government standards for pork.”

Well, i could choose even better ones, but i’m bored. This surely is enough for today.
