It's their problem.
They are only hurting themselves.

Self-improvement for the entire human race!
But some people think that's the worst thing ever, apparently.

Ah, maybe they think there's no point ... if everyone dies, anyway.
Caesar dies, Beethoven dies ... and the tea lady dies.
True, true.
However, the cosmos is watching!

You'll be amazed.

Yeah, yeah. I've been thinking about that Krishna guy again. Maybe he's the most impressive of all the massive action guys.
He just walked out the door! At nearly seventy! Leaving his family staring open-mouthed like characters from Gogol's Dead Souls.
A boat to America ...
He didn't know anyone. He didn't have any money. He didn't have particularly good health.
He didn't care!

Just saying, man.
Yes, I'm just saying.
Remember ...
The world is going away, and it won't be pretty.
NOW ...
Where are you going?
