Manifesto

The caretaker's obligation. 

 The Core Problem: Recognising the Reality of Suffering 

The world has a severe problem that most people refuse to fully acknowledge. That problem is extreme suffering. The victims include children suffering from rape and bone cancer, animals tortured by sadists or torn apart by predators, and families screaming in war zones. These victims endure bigotry, natural disasters, crime, diseases, and mental disorders. No one deserves this pain.

The biggest issue is that society ignores the big picture. Victims of existence do not just suffer and die; they reproduce, forcing the next generation to suffer and die all over again. There are countless unborn children who could face kidnapping or trafficking. There are countless animals waiting to be born just to be locked in cages and killed for a quick meal. Countless future victims will face diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, accidents, or severe mental trauma. 

This cycle of pain must stop, and the first step is recognizing the problem. Historically, the world's ethics and philosophies have been built on bigotry. People use excuses like following religious books, or they only care about specific groups like white people, straight people, or just humans. Many decide that suffering does not matter unless it is convenient for them. These are highly unethical views disguised as morality. 

True ethics must focus entirely on the victim's perspective. Only the victims matter because they are the ones feeling the pain. Unfortunately, society currently punishes burning a non-feeling religious book more harshly than harming a living being. The abstract idea of "nature" is protected more fiercely than the actual wild animals suffering inside it. We live in a system where oppressors use their own feelings to decide what matters, ignoring the victims. 

We reject all bigotry, recognizing that all suffering is bad and is the only truly bad thing in the world. Any ethics not focused on suffering is just a convenience-based immorality. Furthermore, suffering is built directly into existence. For example, a lion must kill a zebra, or the lion starves. Neither the zebra running away nor the lioness trying to feed her cubs is the villain. It is the biological design itself that guarantees pain. Disasters, diseases, wars, and predation will continue until the end of time. As long as conscious beings exist, suffering will exist. 

If existence is the problem, the only logical solution is non-existence. Less intelligent beings fear non-existence because they cannot see the logic. If non-existence were truly bad, people would mourn every unborn sibling they never had, and using birth control would be considered deeply evil. People do not cry for an unborn child, but they cry when a born child is harmed. 

Non-existence is simply the state before you were born. It is like a deep, dreamless sleep where you feel no worry, no loneliness, and no pain. It is total peace and safety from harm. It is the exact same state that comes after death. Applying pure logic means we have a strict obligation to stop the cycle. We must prevent future victims from being born to save them from billions of years of potential horrors. We must work toward a peaceful extinction for all conscious beings. That is the purpose of this manifesto.

In this movement, suffering is defined as any physical or emotional pain, anxiety, or mental disorder that a conscious being wants to avoid. We focus on the extreme, inevitable suffering. We separate "suffering" from "pain". Pain is a physical sensation, but suffering is pain you actively want to escape. This means even someone who enjoys gym or extreme activities is not "suffering" because they do not want to avoid it. This clear definition makes it an objective fact that suffering is universally bad. 

Identifying the Opposition:

 The Pro-Life Mindset. Every movement for justice must clearly define what it is fighting against. Our clear opponent is the pro-life oppressor. These are the people who accept that children will be abused or animals will be torn apart just so they can continue enjoying their own lives. They fight extinctionism to keep their privileges and their irrational, convenience-based morals. 

They are wrong because no one has the right to force life to continue. They do not have the right to force unborn beings into a world where they might be tortured. A white oppressor has no right to demand that slaves be born, and even a slave cannot force other slaves into existence. Forcing anyone to exist and suffer is always wrong. Yet, this is exactly what pro-lifers demand. 

A person is part of the pro-life problem if they: 

* Do not care about the suffering of others or actively want them to suffer. 

* Follow religion or any other irrationality as opposed to rational logic and evidence. 

* Practice any form of bigotry, such as racism, sexism, ableism, or speciesism. 

* Base their ethics on personal pleasure rather than evidence, logic, and reducing harm. 

While society recognizes forms of bigotry like racism and sexism, it mostly ignores speciesism. People dismiss animal pain just because animals belong to a different species. Furthermore, society discriminates based on the cause of the pain. They excuse a starving lion or a deadly accident as "just nature". 

But the victim does not care if they lost a limb naturally or if someone chopped it off. The animal does not care if it starves in the wild or in a human cage. A baby does not suffer less from a natural disease than from a crime. The suffering is equally terrible, and logically, we must stop all forms of it. 

It is important to understand that pro-lifers are also victims of biology. A sadist or a rapist acts that way because they have a mental disorder or physically lack the mirror neurons required for empathy. Just as we cannot biologically blame a lion for hunting, we cannot biologically blame people for their brain chemistry. However, they are still defective machines lacking the empathy and logic needed to understand extinctionism. Because they have the power to block our progress, they are our enemies in this fight. They are simply biological obstacles standing in the way of peace. 

The Mission:

A Grounded, Scientific Approach Unlike other movements that falsely promise a perfect utopia, we do not make false or naïve promises. Our mission is very clear: to provide the peace of non-existence to as many beings as possible. We follow three strict rules to ensure the movement is inclusive and non-discriminatory: 

•  Rule 1: Cause extinction as vastly as possible. 

•  Rule 2: Cause extinction as thoroughly as possible. 

•  Rule 3: Cause extinction as painlessly as possible. 

Rules 1 and 2 always hold priority over Rule 3, because failing to be vast and thorough will result in much worse suffering in the long run. We must do whatever is necessary to achieve the optimal end. 

We do not claim to have all the answers yet. Scientific research is the only path that will reveal exactly how to achieve this goal. 

• Physics: We need advanced theoretical and experimental physics to understand the fate of the universe and find a way to permanently end conscious life, perhaps through vacuum decay, strange matter, or exotic energy. 

•  Artificial Intelligence (AI): Superintelligent AI will definitely be a core part of the movement, guiding our research and continuing the search for the most optimal methods of extinction. 

•  Astrobiology: We must understand the origins of life and how commonly life becomes sentient in the universe. 

Our activism exists to push this science forward. Eradicating extreme suffering is the only truly meaningful action humans can take in an otherwise pointless universe. Stopping child abuse and animal torture is infinitely more important than creating art or exploring Mars. 

Core Principles and Facts

To succeed, the movement must strictly follow these rational facts:

•  Materialism: Only physical reality exists. The mind is just biological hardware; there is no magic, spirit, or supernatural force.

•  Atheism: No intelligent, kind creator would design a world filled with such extreme pain. Religion is entirely made up.

•  Neurobiological Determinism: Human behavior, personality, and choices are entirely controlled by the physical structure of the brain. Free will does not exist, meaning the pro-life stance is a biological defect.

•  Consequentialism: The ends justify the means. Just as people had to fight a bloody war to end slavery, we must choose the greater good to prevent endless future suffering.

• Science: We rely purely on absolute, evidence-based science and reject all pseudoscience.

•  Suffering-Focused Ethics: We only care about reducing pain. We do not place value on non-feeling objects or imaginary concepts like religion, money, nations, or "nature". Without these principles, irrational people will flow in and misguide the movement. Aside from these facts, we will support any political campaign or strategy that moves us one step closer to our goal. 

Action Plan: How We Achieve the Goal 

We must do whatever is necessary to get results and reach the optimal extinction. We currently have two main operational goals: 

1) Vast and Thorough Extinction: We achieve this by supporting AI engineering, astrobiology, and physics research. We do this through activism: educating and recruiting rational people, who will then recruit the scientists, AI engineers, and millionaires needed to fund the project. 

2) Animal Euthanasia: Because we cannot instantly make all wild and farm animals extinct right now without affecting the environment, we must support population reduction and euthanasia programs to minimize their current suffering. 

Goal 1 always takes priority. 

In the future, we may need to enter politics, organize massive boycotts to change government policies, or even fight a war against pro-lifers. We must be the most uncompromising social justice movement in history. Just as abolitionists knew they had to change laws and fight wars to stop the suffering of slaves, we are fighting to stop the suffering of every single being that this broken universe will force into existence. Being uncompromising means being ready to do whatever is necessary to eradicate suffering. We cannot guess exactly what tactics will be needed hundreds or thousands of years from now, but zero suffering is the only acceptable outcome. 

If human rationality and intelligence continue to grow, the conclusion of extinctionism is completely inevitable. Let us fight to put a permanent end to the pain. No child deserves abuse, no animal deserves slavery, and no family deserves disaster. No predator deserves to starve, and no prey deserves to be ripped apart. 

We are rational humans, the only ones capable of understanding and solving the problem of suffering. Because we are the only ones who can act as the caretakers for all sentient beings, we have a strict moral obligation to do so. Let us unite and fight for them—the victims of existence. 

Let's abolish suffering. Long live peace!
