Apparently you don't understand his basic logical argument. If p, then q

"all the emotional posturing about the Connecticut public school shootings... is being done by people who claim there is no God, no good, and no evil. ...those who assert that the Earth has too many people. ...if we are merely bits of stardust that happens to have congregated in one of many possible manners, then there is nothing wrong or objectionable in rearranging the stardust a little. ...What difference does it make to the universe?

if consciousness does not exist, if it is the illusion that some of the more imaginative neurophilosophers claim it to be, then how can anyone possibly object to the elimination of the nonexistent? What tragedy can be found in the transformation from nothing to nothing?

And if there are too many people on the Earth, in the country, then is not the reduction of that excessive number to be celebrated?
