    People forget how scary the real world is. We are the only creatures to create this concept of rights. You think that grizzly bear cares about your rights? Got some news for you…

    And shit, even we don’t respect other people’s right to exist.

    :: gestures very very briefly to… EVERYTHING going on right now::

    You think the asteroid that ended 90+% of life on earth cared about the dinosaurs’ rights?

    All that being said, I wouldn’t be able to pull the plug.

      I wouldn’t want to shut down the simulation, but it would depend on the energy expenditure. A hospital could theoretically save more people if they allocated fifty million dollars per patient. A person’s right to life is contingent on the cost to maintain it.
