Omnicide is defined as the extinction of humans at the hands of
humans. And more people than you could imagine want humanity to become
extinct and eerily enough, we now have the technology to make it
possible.
With the invention of the atomic bomb, the ultimate self-destruction
of humanity and our extinction became possible. Right now, the
governments of the world could eliminate humanity with nuclear weapons
if they choose to do so. They could also, most likely, exterminate
everyone but themselves, as they relax in their safe houses and bunkers
built to withstand a nuclear apocalypse.
My own research suggests that the percentage of people who would push a doomsday button,
if it were placed within finger’s reach, is fairly small, but the
absolute number is unacceptably high. Even a quick Google search seems
to affirm this. –OneZero.Medium
Some groups, such as the
Gaia Liberation Front
(GLF), an ecoterrorist group, want everyone dead. GLF says that their
mission is “the total liberation of the Earth, which can be
accomplished only through the extinction of the Humans as a species.” In
advocating this, they argue that “if any Humans survive, they may start
the whole thing over again. Our policy is to take no chances.”
GLF
contends that
bioengineering is “the specific technology for doing the job right of
annihilating humanity — and it’s something that could be done by just
one person with the necessary expertise and access to the necessary
equipment.” They
continue:
“…genetically engineered viruses… have the advantage of attacking only
the target species. To complicate the search for a cure or a vaccine,
and as insurance against the possibility that some Humans might be
immune to a particular virus, several different viruses could be
released (with provision being made for the release of a second-round
after the generals and the politicians had come out of their shelters).”
Technologies such as gene drives,
digital-to-biological converters, and CRISPR-Cas9 are making it
increasingly feasible to synthesize designer pathogens that could be far
more devastating than anything found in nature, reported
OneZero.Medium.
Unfortunately, all it would take is the
wrong person getting elected and given power over others. However, now
that it isn’t just nuclear weapons that could annihilate the human race,
it isn’t just those elitists in governments we need to worry about.
Most seem to think that giving the
authoritarians in government the power to extinguish all of our human
rights in the name of preventing omnicide will be effective. However,
human history has shown otherwise. Avoiding extinction means humans
will need to evolve beyond the master/slave paradigm all of us are
subjected to by the government. We will need to show compassion for
each other and violence against each other will need to become
unacceptable – even when the elected masters do it. If we cannot evolve
beyond needing political masters to dictate our lives and commit
violence necessary to retain their authority over everyone, omnicide and
democide will both be nightmarish realities of our future.
