Reply to comment by VitriolicViolet in The real practical value of philosophy comes not through focusing on the ‘ideal’ life, but through helping us deal with life’s inevitable suffering: MIT professor Kieran Setiya on how philosophy can help us navigate loneliness, grief, failure, injustice, & the absurd. by philosophybreak

Possibility or inevitability? I'm pretty sure victims of terrible endless suffering still exist, friend.

Though I personally disagree that we should end the world due to the suffering of some people, it is also true that we still dont have any good philosophy that could convincingly argue for the existence of these victims.

The closest we get is "majority rule" and that's just not good enough of a justification, in my opinion.
