It's a very, very rare thing for a human being to care about the billions of people they've never met. Phallax isn't terribly misanthropic by making that comment, in my opinion - the majority of the world shares the same belief.
Would the world be a better place for humanity if empathy towards strangers was a more widespread behavior? Certainly. Maybe in a few thousand years.
As for the three thousand lost souls in the towers? Mourn them, but after a time it's best to let them go. Holding onto the dead haunts a person after awhile, pun intended.
I just said the same thing Phallax did, but without that special edge he uses to tear jagged holes in other peoples' sensitivities.
I'm saying he's crude and a bit self-centered, not an internet monster.
