I wasn't trying to call anyone names but simply describe accurately the attitude you so clearly depict in this paragraph.

For the vast majority of human beings, for the vast majority of history, human relationships have been what gives our lives meaning, not money.

To say that human relationships are unimportant compared with money is the very essence of sociopathy. It's also really sad.

Thing is, there will never be a meeting of minds between the tiny number of people like yourself, and the rest of us.

You won't be able to convince us not to care about other people, relationships, animals, the natural world, and the future of our species.

And there's no logical reason why you should care about any of these things.

Of course, your wildly extreme beliefs make you a danger to everyone else and the world itself. And of course, a complete lack of regard for anyone's benefit except your own means that sociopaths outcompete the rest of us. Sane people can't crush the lives of other people for a few bucks, but to a sociopath, this isn't even an issue.

From the sociopathic viewpoint, it makes perfect sense to consume until the planet dies, because you won't be around to see the horrible results, just some other people who you don't care about at all.

You sociopaths are incompatible with a future for our biosphere. We will never be able to convince you through logic that you should care about the rest of us, or the planet's future, or really anything except money, as you so admirably sum it up.

If you weren't killing our biosphere, I'd be sorry for you.
