The first overwhelmingly rules out the second. It just makes you a psychopath (if true, which I doubt) or very much not in good faith.

Maybe some people would be ok with letting you or me die - would that be ok? Would it be clever and cool to post on HN?

You don't need to play the victim to identify yourself. One thing victims do, however, is have no compassion for others because - they're a victim!

Ego death is necessary. I think that is perhaps that is the essence.
