Insane Troll Logic: Mercer's philosophy is based on this according to some. He says that humanity is dying, but he rereleased the virus on purpose. He says that all of humanity deserves to suffer, but is directly opposed by someone who has a sizable amount of empathy, more than he himself. He says that all of humanity is corrupt, but he practically sought out human traffickers to prove this viewpoint and blamed humanity for people caring about living before concerning themselves with people who they might not even know. For these reasons, he decides tocause a Zombie Apocalypse to "force evolution" on the populace. If he had thought that through some more, maybe We Could Have Avoided All This.
