There are a few clearly true statements that get compressed in your original statement, which can then be used to suggest wrong statements. This is an equivocation.
One question is “does our experience of evil or suffering inform our moral judgments?”
Another is “have people fought against evil and won?”
A third is “can a lesser wrong be acceptable in pursuit of a greater good?”
A fourth is something like “will our total human experience of evil and suffering prove so useful in aligning superintelligent AI that it is a net positive?”
A fifth is “does even the most extreme, straightforward examples of evil and suffering have any side benefits, despite being heavily net negative?”
Again, it’s fine to babble, but the culture here is that you need to clarify what question your asking. Then argue it persuasively to the best of your ability. Or try arguing the opposite, just to get clarity. Precision is a virtue.
I can’t spend time to reply any more to introduce you to the site’s culture. But I think you might benefit from a philosophy class.
