If you are inclined to follow my advice, please note that you are probably not well adapted to this competitive, evil world. In other words, you are probably too good for this world. Therefore, you are definitely worth saving. We need you! So, please find comfort in this thought and then go back to ‘normal’, i.e. watch an add<\/a>, or do some shopping<\/a>.
\nHowever, if you were not inclined to follow my advice in the first place, you may well be adapted to this world. If so, my advice certainly remains\u00a0this<\/a>\u00a0(but see our disclaimer<\/a> too).<\/p>\n

Postscript: The irony about suicide and its evolutionary complement, the decision not to have any children, is indeed that the wrong kind of people commit to it. Human selection processes are directing us into an unwanted future. Present day free-market democracies lead to excesses like unbounded egoism and seriously compromised animal welfare. The world would be much better off with a lot less people, but we can’t afford to lose the volunteers!<\/p>\n
