Philosophical Doom
How do we know which creation option is best?
- Requires ultimate knowledge ourselves
- Any choice but #4 annihilates ourselves
Assume we exist (self-evident, Descarte)
- 1 create nothing: poof -- we’re gone
- 2 create amoral: poof -- we’re gone
- 3 create automatons: poof -- we’re gone
- Self-annihilation to limit pain is only logical recourse
- Atheists may not be willing to pursue this logic
- But many have!
