Elifism / Extinctionism

Post by UndercoverElephant »

EFIL is Life spelt backwards. It is a form of Antinatalism that extends to all sentient life, created by the Youtube based Philosopher Inmendham in 2011. EFILism is the belief that DNA, and the suffering of sentient consciousness, is the greatest problem in the universe.
They aren't joking either. This really is a subreddit for people who think the only way to end suffering is make all life go extinct:

This kind of lunacy is just what happens when a culture dies. It's sad, but inevitable. The Faustian culture is dying. The evidence of that is literally everywhere.

New cultures will grow out of the wreckage that is left behind.

I remember when a certain West-Coast American group of rappers had to spell their album title backwards as Efil4zaggin to avoid certain criticism.
I never listened to it myself but I do have a soft spot for Ice-T when he is performing with Body Count.

BTW you got the spelling wrong in the title!
G'Day cobber!

Doctor who genesis of the Daleks. I remember the doctor proposed the concept of creating a virus so deadly it killed all life in the universe and so brought about the end o war and suffering for ever. Davros thought it was a good idea.
